Guild Wars 2

I did my monthly achievement by playing on my level 80 main and leveling an alt to 65.

Then I hopped on my level 2 alt that I hadn’t started with yet to salvage the junk he had to finikitten off. I got 4 copper, 200 xp, and the 20 coins. I couldn’t open the chest on my main, I could only get the crappy reward from my level 2.

Not only is that beyond low even if I did manage to finish a monthly entirely on a level 2 character, the fact that level affects monthly/daily rewards means most people will deliberately hold off on finishing the monthly (Or daily for that matter) until they can do it on their highest level character.

Please just set a static reward, use the highest level character for the calculation, or perhaps increase the reward based on the amount of monthlies you have finished, rather than level.

Edit: Also, the forums anti-swear code appears to be a bit overzealous :P

i agree it is a bit overzealous (the anti-swear code) I’m curious what word did you try to use? put spaces between each letter so i can read it :-)

No that’s it, there was a space… Hint: first word was “finish”

The monthly reward is pretty much only the 20 mystic coins. A level 80 also gets just some copper, like 75 or whatsoever.

Granting the xp according to the character is reasonable and important, I think.

This exact thing made me really furious the day it bit me for the first time...

Back then, I was counting every copper, barely able to keep up with the cost of teleports on my crisp fresh level 80. I’m at 98% of so of the daily achievement, but decide to take a little break from all that constant Orr killing, so I hop on this whatshisface level 1 alt of mine and run to pick up some crafting materials with him...

I smack a random white rabbit while passing through the village - *pop* - daily achievement complete. Whooping 5 copper reward. I literally couldn’t believe what just happened.

These days, I do it the other way around... There being more or less nothing you can buy in the game after you get your first full set of exotics and money just keep piling up, every time I see that a daily/monthly achievement is nearing, I hop on one of the alts I rarely play and let him make the final honor killing, so he gets at least those 10% or so experience the achievement usually gives.

That, again, only shows how dumb the entire system is.
