Some people don't seem to have any trouble getting Sunspear or Lightbringer points... while others consider it an immense grind.

I tend to think of Bounties often as a quest without a completion reward.... just something left open-ended.

Wouldn't it make sense for the Bounty-givers to make some different comment and perhaps give an extra lump-sum of Sunspear / Lightbringer points if you manage to wipe out ALL of the type of monster in question from the explorable area? It seems a bit silly to have a scout telling me to get out there and kill Kournan Soldiers when there are none left in the area TO kill. Consider it a type of selective vanquishing...

I personally have really liked the way it is set up in GW:EN. I hated farming for points before, but I really enjoyed it last night. First of all, as far as I have seen, it is for all monsters not just certain kinds. Second, you get a random bonus after every 25. Third, once you are already on the hunt you can go and talk to anyone at a res shrine and they will give you a bonus depending on how many monsters you have killed.

Yup. GW:EN's is the best system for bounties:
- Increasing instead of fixed.
- Rewarding clearing all area.
- Works for all monsters.
- Random bonuses.
- Morale boosts.

They souhld update the other bounties to match it.

Yes, I do enjoy the bounty system in GWEN, but I also enjoyed it in Nightfall too. That is until I couldn't get them any more. There was a cap on Sunspear points and now there are caps on Norn, Dwarven and all the rest in GWEN too. I can live with the caps if necessary, but the game is much more fun if you have the bounties than if you don't. So that leaves hard mode if you want to finish. What if you just enjoy normal mode not getting the blessings and bounties takes the fun right out of everything. What did I do in Nightfall when I leveled out of Sunspear? I stopped going to those areas and did Vabbi and Lightbringer, and hardly ever go to the earlier areas anymore. Since I don't want to level out of the GWEN points I have started not taking the blessings and not visiting all the res stations, in order not to level out so fast. And not trying to rampage or get theat boss bounty. It takes a lot of the fun out of it but I guess no one who matters cares. I understand not wanting everyone to farm these points to infinity and the need to put a halt on it some way. My sugestion would be to keep the limits on the bounty points where they are and when someone levels out switch from Norn or Sunspear or Dwarf reputation points to just plain old experience points. The GWEN bounties are so much fun please look into fixing this. And please I know some people think it is too easy with the bounties and boosts but they don't have to take them if they want to get them.
