Actually, there *is* a rush because once you meet the baseline objective, the quest reward guy might try to give you the partial reward as soon as you talk to him (if you get unlucky with ANet's secret internal quest ordering), making it impossible to cash in rewards for other quests.

I do the ones I feel like doing. I've done at least one a day since they came out, some on multiple chars, some on one or none.

I usually only do the >boss hunt< in HM, if its easy. Boss close to entrance/exit and so on.

Farming the Hero Battles and creating a new pvp char over and over yielded the best results so far. Even without rolling. I tell you, you can treat a lot of players like NPCs, so my PvE experience yields great results...^^

Not so much anymore

I did them enough to get the light equipment pack but just don't have the patience to do 15 times that amount of work for the heavy one. Everything else is really too expensive to be worth it also (a hard mode boss bounty only gets you 1 fire work - bleh). So I just rearranged my mules to make them more efficient.

Yes, I'll do them if they happen to coincide with something else I'm doing anyway (vanquish an area or capping a skill, for example). Might as well get the extra reward if I'm doing same amount of work.

But beyond that, unless they lower the cost of the rewards, NTY.

Gli · Apr 29, 2009, 06:35 PM // 18:35

From now on I'm only going to do them when they coincide with what I wanted to do when I logged on. Which probably means, hardly ever anymore.

I did them conscientiously for 4 days, and now I realize that it got me nowhere, that I was only doing them for a few lousy copper coins. None of the characters I'm still playing through the different campaigns made any progress at all.

My GWAMM did a few quests, another two of my characters did a few as well, and all of it was just randomly hopping across the map doing missions I had no real interest in doing or killing bosses I had no quarrel with. It was no more fun than it was before there were Z-coins.

Instead, I could have been doing what I wanted to do. I still have goals and ambitions in this game. Only stubborn mules need a carrot and a stick.

upier · Apr 29, 2009, 08:40 PM // 20:40

Since the AFKing ended - I was finally able to try out the Z-thingies!
Yay, I'll be buying my chest!

AngelWJedi · Apr 29, 2009, 08:48 PM // 20:48

the first day or two i did the quests(ones i could) on all my chars. 3gold 9 silver 14 copper so far. >_> but now lately it seems like why bother? i grinded this stuff out already a long time ago and most of the time the reward for it nm or hm isnt worth it. please anet lower the amount you want for the large bag and moss spider egg!

blood4blood · Apr 29, 2009, 09:04 PM // 21:04

No. I did THK twice on old characters that never did the bonus, and hunted down Harn for the hell of it. That's it so far.

Nanood · Apr 29, 2009, 09:05 PM // 21:05

Yep.. I thought after GWAMM I would be relaxing and just playing with no real focus.. And now this comes along... sigh.

Packs here i come !

Jensy · Apr 29, 2009, 10:16 PM // 22:16

Yes, definitely. Have only done the PvE ones so far, but I've got the PvP ones saved until after the next skill balance. Really don't want to play right now in this busted up meta

It's been nice seeing so many people around, even in the international districts where my alliance spends all of their time.

sph0nz · Apr 29, 2009, 10:25 PM // 22:25

I've been doing the PvE ones on my main and some on a few others. I've obtained the quests on all of my characters, it's just a matter of doing them before I can't accept any more quests. I really can't be bothered to repeat the same quests 8 times a day though, so they've just been piling up.

Verene · Apr 30, 2009, 12:34 AM // 00:34

Did Ring of Fire, since that's the point in Prophecies that my main is at anyway.

I have Consulate Docks in the quest log of three of my characters - my main who is Elonian and has already done it so I can just breeze through, and my other two that are leveled up and need to do it anyway.

And I just had a blast taking my Dervish into RA.

So some of them can be rather fun. I don't have many coins yet, but meh. Been getting a bit of money, xp, and Balthazar faction while doing so (and spent some on a zkey so my faction wouldn't hit the cap while doing RA, decided to use it on the chest, and got an Elite Monk tome. Sweet), so it's been worth it. I'm basically just picking and choosing what I want to do so it doesn't get boring or annoying.

Chorus · Apr 30, 2009, 03:05 AM // 03:05

I've done the PvE ones every day with my guild so far on my elementalist, and have repeated a couple on my mesmer and ritualist. It's been fun, and it's providing a good incentive to start getting characters through the campaigns so I can do the quests on more than just my ele. I don't do the PvP ones, though, even when guildies are doing them. I've found, since I started playing again, that my interest in GW PvP has not returned.

Empress Amarox · Apr 30, 2009, 03:59 AM // 03:59

No, I do not do them because the grind is ridiculous and I would rather just shell out gold for the bags from players who are crazy enough to grind it out.

Wish Swiftdeath · Apr 30, 2009, 05:04 AM // 05:04

I do the missions and PvP usually, can't be bothered with the bounty(exception molotov).

The missions i do find boring so i only do it on my main. I try to do the PvP quests whenever possible(just done the RA one on two characters).

Unfortunately i'll be out for the rest of the day...I'm now getting the WOW feeling of being forced to play everyday, even if its just to log in and pick up the quests...

crazybanshee · Apr 30, 2009, 05:31 AM // 05:31

Well, I have 10 chars.. I'll do a mission if it advances the char in any way (I actually did ROF in HM 10 times, because it forced me to infuse all my amor which I never bothered with even though I finished all the games) I'll do the bounty ones if they're quick, multiple times. I haven't done a pvp one yet, they're still in my log because I will eventually do them, I just haven't had the inclination. I do want equipment bags on most of my chars, and I want a moss spider. Once I'm done with that, I probably won't ever do them again unless its for a pvp that I do anyway, so I can get faction.

Rekiara Malevu · Apr 30, 2009, 05:34 AM // 05:34

I check them, but only do the ones that fit within other goals - if I still need the mission credit or vanquish (if the bounty isn't also in a mission), or if I can do the PvP without having to form a 'real' team.

I figure it's bonus gold / rep / exp above and beyond what I'd get for doing what I was gonna do anyway. The coins, too, are just a bonus - I don't care enough about the bags to actively grind them.

**cosyfiep** · Apr 30, 2009, 05:43 AM // 05:43

yes I do them on 16 characters (9 of whom have finished everything so they can do them all....some have yet to get places like my sv necro has done none of prophecies, hence no ring of fire, thk)
I did black tide den 16 times, killed walhi and harn a bunch of times, did the palace more than 16 times (all hm some bad pugs)....

once I get all the bags and such I will do them only from the bonus points (lb, asura, etc)....I have so far gotten 4 light bags...am now working towards the large and heavy ones.
I dont pvp so those quests mean nothing to me....others like kanaxi...didnt do, doa ones, nope.....consulate docks-yep. blood washes blood-yep (I hated that quest even before I redid it 14 times)....

now I have to go back and finish docks on 3 more characters before bed.
