No, no. We get EXTRA rewards.

There's something else. Since more people would go there, there would be more variety in pugs.

Not just the classic "Do this for me and when it's done I'll leave to bother in some other outpost" but also the "Let's do do this for fun" guys.

Because PvE pugging is good fun. Many of us fondly remember the good times pugging in Prophecies, despite the frustration.

GW hasn't had new content in forever and won't see any in the future. This new system is much better than the PvE alternatives (solo farming, group farming the same spot over and over, or title hunting with H/H).

Sounds like there will be incentive for players to try out PvP as well, so we should see an infusion of new blood into PvP, which many have pointed out is sorely lacking.

In essence this is a good way to get seasoned players to start playing missions and things again. Probably good for new players who need a hand. And rather than the newbie needing to pay for the help in a mission, Anet already offers a reward.

But, in the end, it's only going to work if the rewards are interesting enough. Don't really care enough about z-keys to start doing all kinds of missions over again.

So, I am not excited about this yet, I will wait to see what the rewards are and then I'll decide if I'll be excited about it. In the end this is a content update but the actual amount of new content is minimal for as far as I can see now. But I will let Anet surprise me...next week I guess.

In addition: On the official Wiki under "Charmable Animals" it states that Z-Coins will/can unlock charmable animals. As far as Z-Rewards go.

Hey, if it allows us to pug without having to constantly worry about class discrimination, I'm all for it then. I guess it's up to the community to step up and make this work the way Linsey & Co. hope it will.

The only way I would ever do this if the rewards were worth it. Why would i want unneeded XP + 1.5k gold when I could just get that by keg farming or something.

Getting extra bonuses for completing PvP matches seems pretty cool though, as I play most PvP types almost every day. I don't hope they make the PvE quests like "do this mission in HM" or something, cause there will be too much failing if they want some of thw 'not-so-good' PvE players to attempt that, so they should just stick to NM imo. Oh, and I've always thought that there should be a title for completed quests, cause my almost 4 year old Elementalist has a log full of them but when I look at the rewards I just go "eww.." so making a quest the "Quest of the Day" would seem kinda cool, as quite a few of prophecies quests are quite fun.

hmmm lets use some reason: Zaishen, its connected to PvP. Wich means that you have to do it in an pvp manner. Wouldnt it be nice if you want the quest reward you have to do it without consumables, pve skills and heroes or henchman??? In this way you give it a true meaning of Zaishen.

Arduin · Apr 21, 2009, 08:20 AM // 08:20

Heroes are PvP too.

I like the idea of having these new quests, new "hunts" to do, but they change every day, so ultimately, I'll miss out on most of them, as opposed to being able to pick up a quest from an NPC, and having it in your log untill you decide to do it.
We will see I guess. But still, new stuff is always cool.
I've sold all my Z-keys, in case these quests form a new way to gain Z-keys, and prices will plummet :P
Now to start buying sweets for my title
