Ok, you’re reading a lot into my post that isn’t there. I never said I “hated” dailies….just that they were becoming too much a chore for me, when I could just go off and do other things that I enjoyed more. Giving me a laurel for logging in….yes…..love that change. But I also love the fact now that IF I do want to do dailies….I only have to do 3, and I get 10ap for that! Much better than before! And yes, I LOVE that change!

Plus the added wxp and badges of honor changes are also really good, imo.

Please read what I type, rather than just completely reinterpreting everything to support your ‘non sequitur’ point. What did you actually think my “underlining point” was, anyways?

I’m not reading into anything. I’m just saying that from the stuff you actually mentioned on that post (I didn’t notice any of your other posts until after I posted that) the only thing you really mention that you like is that now you get a laurel just for login in, so you no longer have to do the dailies to get that and can just ignore them (what I meant by the “underlying point” of your post). That point doesn’t really seem to follow, since the laurel specifically doesn’t speak directly to the changes to the dailies themselves as a game activity, as opposed to just getting that specific reward. They could have just giving us the free laurel and otherwise left the dailies as they were (Daily Kills, Daily Gather, etc.) and it would have been the same thing.

And I didn’t necessarily mean “hate” in a strong sense. Just that you were tire of doing them.

It sure seemed to me that you were reading a lot more into my initial post then what was actually there. Hopefully my follow up post explained my feelings about it better.

Yeah, I’m still learning the new system. Its possible some of the event-specific rewards (complete X events in specific map, etc.) might be worth it on the long run. But I just loved been able to log, if only for a while, and “achieve” some type of reward just by doing random stuff along the way. Now I have to do stuff like specifically leave the map (potentially spend travel money I’ve been trying to save) to go to a different location I may otherwise have no need or interest in going to (like the Queensdale events they have today, which is a map I’m tired off from running too many low lv characters recently) and it just feels too much like a chore, whereas before I just got them along the way to whatever I was doing.

Here’s the thing, the previous dailies provide more options but the options themselves are very very general like “Daily Events”, “Daily Kills”, etc. The options are there but you can practically accomplish them without you even knowing it.

That was the good thing about it, though. No need for extra grind, usually you can just play normally and get it and then get a small reward for logging in and playing.

Exactly. As I mentioned before, it was a nice little incentive to log in and do some stuff everyday (even if only for a while). Now they’re so specific and require you to go out of your way to get them that it feels like a chore.

I can no longer get rewarded just for picking up mats or killing random stuff as I complete the map. Now I have to leave the map to go to a specific location kill a worm, do a specific number of events on a specific map I might be tired of playing on, swap characters, etc.

I think this is a great change. Dailies were getting to be too much of a ‘job’ for me….I really didn’t enjoy doing them that much just so I could get my laurel. I had gotten to the point where I just did wvw or explored pve, and if I got the daily, fine…..if not…..well ok.
Now that I get a laurel just for logging in, I can kiss the dailies goodbye…..sweet!!!!

Love the new changes to the system!

I would be willing to bet that my wife will like the changes, too…..as she was also treating dailies like a necessary job to do in game for the laurel…..now she will be able to get the laurel for just logging in, and then can spend her time doing other stuff that she enjoys much better than the daily drudgery.

Your underlining point says nothing on the actual changes to the dailies itself (and this is an opinion I’ve seen brought up a couple of times). Its a non sequitur. Basically you hated doing dailies before, still hate doing them now, but “love” the changes because now you get your laurel just for login. Or in other words, you don’t really “love” the changes, you just love getting your free laurel. They could have just given us the free laurel and left the dailies alone.

PS: I still haven’t even gotten my laurel, for that matter. I had 87 last I checked yesterday, still have 87 today. Plus I don’t normally check the forums, so I didn’t know about these changes, and didn’t even complete my dailies last night, cuz I thought I had time to do them today.

I’m also hating the new changes. Before the dailies were a nice incentive to log in every day, if only for a few minutes, to gain my daily rewards just for doing regular activities (like gathering materials and killing stuff) while I completed the map. Now it’s like a shore of different categories of stuff I hardly even understand that require me to go out of my way to do them, or even log different characters just to have the right “class” for the reward. They needlessly complicated something that used to work as a little “extra” I could do to while I did other stuff, even if I could only play a few minutes that day.
