Guild Wars 2

As a farmer I’ve noticed quite a number of mistakes with the achievements system. In particular as the only means by which I have been able to obtain anything with the permanent loot issues on my account, I’ve been salvaging everything. I know they just implemented this system for the game, but what about those of us who’ve been doing these things constantly for almost a year. Every single time I’ve logged into the game I’ve gathered salvageable items from the enemies I’ve killed (as evident in my long long list of nearly complete “kill certain enemy 1k times” achievements) however there’s no retro from these activities over the past year.

Wasn’t there a guarantee that the retro for the activities we’ve been performing for almost a year now would be included in this update back when the first talks about how this system would be linked to the achievement system?

I know for a fact that I’ve salvaged thousands of items from mobs ever single time I’ve logged.

Also the miniature collection shows as my having 0 minis I know I have at least 3.

As for getting retro achievement rewards, they are only handing out one chest per day until you are caught up. The first chest(from today) is the 100 point chest, which gives you consumable buffs and a few other things, but there are no account wide achievement bonuses attached to the first chest. You will get the 500 point chest tomorrow, which will give you a 1% magic find boost account wide, along with whatever else that chest has. Then the 1,000 point chest the next day, etc.
