First off I want to thank Anet for this update, it's very much appreciated! I do agree with many that the prices on some ZCoin rewards should be adjusted but that's another story. This suggestion is about additional ways to gain ZCoins in the future. My suggestion is to add additional ways to gain ZCoins:

For successfully vanquish a map.
A One-time reward for completing a campaign.
Reward chests in Deep/Urgoz/FoW/UW/Slavers etc.
Chance to gain from holiday presents (ie. Trick-or-Treat Bag, Wintersday Gifts)
Small chance to drop from end bosses in underused areas (ie. Divinity Coast, Aurora Glade etc.)

I'm NOT talking huge amounts of coins and ONLY where they can't be easily farmed by solo characters. I know it's a new update, this is simply a suggestion further down the road in months to come :-)

one time campaign completion sounds ok. end chest of elite areas, idk. fow and uw can be speed cleared. vanquishing definitely not. overfarmed that way. holiday presents, sure. like chance of getting 5-10 maybe. end bosses, nah.

i like the end of campaign idea, but only make it happen once.
end chests in elite areas sounds good
fow and uw is a no go because of the rapid speedclearing that can be done
holiday presents is probably the best suggestion
end bosses is a no, that'd be way to easy to over farm

Zaishen Coins should only come from Zaishen Quests. I would be happy to see more daily task types, such as a specific vanquish or something else, but I do not want to see them coming from just normal gameplay.

Either this or reduce the cost of the rewards.

Only way I'd be happy about seeing added is to give us an option to trade Xunlai Tournament points into Zaishen Coins or Zaishen Keys, either one.

This exactly. What do the Zaishen have to do with everyday Vanquishing or boss farming? I definitely want to be able to earn more coins in a day by completing more tasks, but it'd be weird to see them randomly start dropping from bosses or showing up in inventory after a mission.

tl;dr: I'd love to see more options open up, but keep to the theme.

I LOVE that idea! To trade Xunlai Tournament Points into Zaishen Coins. It would follow the spirit of Zaishen as well.

Zaishen idea is a bit broken already, since it's related to PvP but you can earn coins from PvE already, a few more ways of gaining it in PvE shouldn't change that.

I'm glad to see most agree on limiting the amount of coins you can gain this way too. Like one-time reward for completing a campaign, maybe a few coins in holiday presents or from an endgame chest in an elite area. As long as it can't be easily farmed or speed-cleared.

I won't mind more types of Zaishen quests, as long as they remain Zaishen.
So, unless you make a Zaishen NPC give the quests and its rewards, or change the Book NPCs into Zaishen NPCs, I won't go with that.
