Why cap achievement points?

I just reached the Daily pt cap of 15000. I’m embarrassed to admit it took a few days to realize something was wrong with my overall progress, and that the issue is over 2 years old. I am guessing that most veteran players have, or are now reaching this cap, and at least some of them have been as surprised and disappointed as myself.

In reading this thread I have found no legitimate reason why anet would do this. It seems to me that it is a case of self-immolation. Personally, daily’s guaranteed that I logged in as often as I could. I have 28,470 ap’s so I am well aware of the other sources for ap’s. What I liked about the daily’s was that they were a steady (if slow) source of points toward reward chests. It allowed me to spend time with my friends in wvw w/o having to mine achievement points from other sources that I don’t especially enjoy, such as high fractals and raids. I hope anet will revisit the decision to cap daily’s.

Thank u all for ur kind response. Found a good party and we were all able to get achievement in two tries. I guess solo isn’t always the way to go even in pve.

congratulations anet – finally proven that I am too old and too slow to play gw2. I usually make up for my bad reflexes and poor eyesight by being persistent and obstinate. However, after countless attempts and way too many hours of effort, I have been put in my place. I got close with the “dodgy crowd” but could never quite get over the hump, usually because of a pool at the boss’ feet, or dodging through a wind wall and directly into a pool. I hated to give up because I wanted the luminescent armor, but that’s just not to be. I dislike being a quitter, especially after 4 yrs of gw1 with a full h.o.m. and playing gw2 since launch, however I recognize that I no longer possess the skills required. Probably time to find a game more suited to my skills- solitaire maybe. I am raging with a bit of tongue in cheek here, but c’mon guys it’s just a game not a test.
