I do the quests as well but like Scythe, I only do it on 1 character, save the PvP ones. Those I do on 2, my PvP char and my main.

I do the ones that help me advance something else.

Missions, in HM that i haven't completed yet.
Bounties, I vanquish the area the boss is in if applicable.
PvP, only the fun ones, AB, JQ, FA(when it happens), RA(when it happens).

Yes. I do all of the Zaishen Quests daily. I do each days set on my main, then I am done. I never have to repeat one.

Well, I do them... erratically.

I can't be bothered, for example, to do Rragar's, for obvious reasons. I finished THK (again) on my monk, killed Wahli on two characters... may finish Ring of Fire twice. I'm generally looking to do them on my better equipped characters - that's my monk, ele, and maybe my necro, so at most I'll do them three times.

And I don't really mind repeating them once or twice because, well, I'm doing two different things when I play on a monk and when I play on an ele. I would definitely not want to finish them more than thrice, though. There are limits.

Depends on how fast they are or what is the reward/time rate.

Some missions or bosses I will keep even if they aren't fast if I need to go to the area for some reason (vanquish, guardian, filling books, etc).

Really fast ones like molotov rocktail I did with all the characters I had there (6 or 7).

PvP ones I will do those I'm interested with a PvP character - and delete the char and repeat, now that coins can be stored.

Ive just done them on my main today and yesterday, cant be bothered with Oolas Lab though, I hate that mission.

Ring of Fire was a blast, I hope they do hells precipice soon so I can get my droks gear and coins at the same time.

i didnt know u can do em on different characters till today. Although I do it for something to achieve in the day I havent missed a mission or bounty i could do. I do em all in HM unless they are in Nightfall because I havent gotten that far in it yet

I did the one mission HM got my reward for one character, got the quest for the next mission, then realized it was just grind being pawned off as new content, and have not done anymore besides the one.

Taken a 2 month break from GW but it looks like I will be taking a longer break, trying different games but none have the appeal of GW.

I do the quests depending on which ones I feel are worth the reward or not. I also factor in which characters would benefit the most, or which would have the easiest time of doing it based on how well equipped they and their heroes are. I'll do those quests on whatever characters I feel could do them easily or quickly enough, and don't bother with the rest.

No I don't do the missions. I just check the bounties, if it looks like an easy kill I just log in and bump off the baddie once or twice.

If they are enjoyable, I do them multiple times. If they aren't, I don't do them at all. For example, Kunvie Firewing... no thanks.

I've only done 4 or so, as much as I want the equipment bags, I know I won't have the time to do them every day for months.

And since the bags are the only reward I want...I kind of became disenchanted with the quests pretty damn fast. I'd rather just make my own fun.

The pvp ones cause they pay well for the time they take, plus it's more varied. And bounties cause its just get to boss and kill, so usually quickish. Did a few eotn missions then had flashbacks to the grind filling books so probably won't do them again unless its a short mission. And not doing dungeons either unless they're close. Filled my books, not really interested in going back.

I've done a few of them (just finished the HB one for today - first time I've ever tried HB). However, as a fairly casual player that hasn't yet beaten any campaigns and hasn't gotten anywhere in Factions nor really started EOTN, I can't do any of them on hard mode, and most of the ones offered so far I can't even get to.

I'm not too fussed on the rewards, though. If it looks interesting, then I'll do it, and that's basically it.

I do them on my main char then sometimes on my monk if I feel like healing people. I just do the bounties & easy missions. Although I'm just doing it for the money reward, cept it's not much but w/e!

I like how they made the pvp quests kind of available to pvefags such as me. I often manage to do the basic req and one of the bonuses. I do each set of quests once, as doing it on several chars would bore me to frickin' death.

Got about 20 Zaishen Keys by doing the Hero Battle Zaishen Quest today, I have to say these new missions are quiet the money makers. The only sad part is that people aren't actually PvPing in Hero Battles, there just resigning.

I tried the HB one today and actually won a couple (wow), so that felt good. But I haven't done many lately. I'd do the bounties, but the fact of the matter is that the reward just isn't worth enough. They need to up the zoins on those, IMO.

When I get back to GW (got hooked on BG2 again) I'll do the PvE ones on my main, and possibly on other chars if I feel like it.

I never play HA and i'm only rank 1, yet i just messaged someone and got in a team which ground out 6 wins in about an hour and a half.

It's really not that hard if you get off your ass...

Tried to get into the PvP-light ones, but gave up because the rewards don't warrant the extreme revulsion I feel at the thought of pressing the enter mission again after just playing a match.

Will not even considered the more organized PvP ones.

And the PvE ones? Well, I am a PvE player, but still... It took me only 4 days to lose interest in the Z-Quests. The randomness of the missions doesn't suit me. Why the hell would I want to go do Thunderhead Keep when my current in-game goals are focused elsewhere entirely? They'll only take away from whatever progress I might make in the limited time I can spend online. For Zcoins? Feh, apart from equipment packs, there's not a single item I care for in the coin trader inventories. I'll probably keep collecting coins at turtlespeed doing an occasional fast and easy bounty, or a mission when it coincides with what I want to do anyway, and buy equipment packs from other players.

The problem is, if you dont do them then you may not be able to keep the quests you like to do if the new quest is something that you like also. You can only keep 3 of the same type in your quest log.

Yes I know the quests helps with guardian title grinding and books but I am not going to do all that 8 times per day on all my 8 characters.

So far I was running only on my monk as she is the one desperately needing this 20 slot bag
Now that we can use the xunlay storage I guess I will run on more chars.

I do them on my main the days I'm on. Not for the rewards, but because its a gathering point for all the people who have done everything (or are working on all sorts of different things ingame). And its fun ^^

I haven't really done them that often because im to busy farming the cup cakes and that takes a long time but once they stop dropping then i'll probably start doing them but im not interested in repeating them, there just something to do.

Yes, I do them, but only the Mission and Bounty ones.
First and mostly on my Main character then if they are fun i might do some more with my other characters.

I'm completing the Mission and Bounty ones at least once on my account. Sometimes when a Guild or Alliance group wants another go on Mission or Bounty I just did, I'd go for a second time with a different character. But doing one of those missions for a third time in a few hours is a tad too much for me.

The PvP ones.... meh.

Oh, and I have to agree with upier here. 9 Rings is the bane of Guild Wars Play.
