What do you think about GW:EotN quest and it's rewards?
I have to say that, after complete pretty much every quest in 3 campaigns of GW, this is the first time i have done quests for the reward itself and not for just remove it from my quest list.
1k~2k gold, gold items that actually can be used, jewels, lockpicks, perfect salvage kits, armor of salvation, and so on. I won't mention the experience and the skills you get because that's not really what lures me into doing a quest, as i have more exp than i need and i probably will not use all those lots of skills i may get.
So i have to say it because i didn't see anyone mentioning this before. But, finally, the reward of a quest it's worth the effort of do it and i wish we could have had this kind of rewards before.
And about the new quests, some was plenty of walking but as they said, no more fedex quests (those of just go deliver an item from npc to npc), and I'm glad we didn't get them this time.
We also got this time quests that didn't point us the exact location of where to go, but just pointed to an area so we had to actually look around and search. And i think it's a good thing, seriously, the quest from the previous 3 campaigns was all way so easy to do and didn't require any thinking, you get a quest, run to the location and thats it, sometimes you just have to teleport from city to city to talk to some npc and that was it. And it was nice to have the solo quests as well.
Over all, in my opinion, the quests this time are more challenging, and the rewards at the end way more desirable than in the previous campaigns.

Completely agree with you.
I never bothered with any non-primary quests in the previous 3 campaigns, but I actually enjoyed questing in GWEN, and did all available quests on two characters.

Agreed 100%, it feels like a whole new game when you actually run to the green '!' to see what goodies there might be on offer. It didnt even worry me when i failed several of the master quests a few times (yes with heroes / hench and me monking ) knowing that the rewards would be worth me putting that extra bit of effort in

Totally agree the quests and the rewards were top notch. I think this is the end game content we were all hoping for and since this will be the end of Guild Wars until they finish GW2 nice finish guys !! Grats to the developers and art team. I'm always amazed at the graphics in this game.

I'm really happy about the (finally) worthwhile quest rewards. Now I can stop skipping all but the primaries, lol.

Aaaaaggggghhhhhhhhh!
Before I read this post, I was thinking exactly the opposite! All the quests I did all weekend long were for no gold at all, just reputation and experience points. So then I read this thread, and thought..."Was I playing the same game?"
So I went to the wiki, and started looking at the quest listings, and guess what? I didn't do a single dungeon quest all weekend!!!!! I didn't even know these dungeons were there. With all the running in circles I did all weekend, I don't know how I missed the quests for these dungeons...but oh well, at least I only have a week to wait before I can try them out.

Ya i completed all of the available dungeons not by really looking for them...but just by exploring the maps fully. This expansion seems to reward exploration by finding quests that will take you into a dungeon, or by leading you to your untimely death by say, following a harmless white rabbit down into a grotto.

Yeah, love the quests now. Between skills and all the items it's been fun to do. Now if only thunderfist's knuckledusters allowed you to box outside, rather than just being a pair of daggers...

In Sifhalla (when the game goes live) go look at the one statue thing next to Sif that says "Notorious Foe: Nafastu, Earthbound"
The tablet thing says that Nafastu is a master of the mind, and disguises himself as a rabbit to lure passers by into its trap. Harmless my ass!
