Guild Wars 2

I have a full time job, a family, and an assortment of other responsibilities. The dailes used to be something general enough that I could log on any given day when I had time, play PvE (I don’t play PvP or WvW), and get rewarded (albeit small) for playing in the small amount of time I had a few days a week, and also feel like I had accomplished something in the game. Basically by limiting the dailes so strictly, ANET has removed any benefit I gained from the game as a casual player. For example, I can’t complete the daily completion today because I don’t have time for fractals and can’t craft exotic items. The fact that I USED to be able to earn those achievement points and now CANNOT is what is so irritating, I think its nice that a lot of you have all the time in the world to play Guild Wars 2, but I don’t. If ANET is going to continue to remove the functionality that makes casual play fun and cater strictly to hard core gamers, I suppose I’m out for the count.

Is there any way to tell what zones are completed without actually mapping to those zones?

I’m also having regular trouble finding events and a couple I’ve found have been bugged so that I couldn’t complete them. Its really kind of frustrating, I’ve played for several hours today and only run across two events.

However, I’m not seeing a lot of other players on. Maybe the events only trigger for higher player populations?
