Do you acutally do the zaishen quests?
Bryant Again
I'll only dabble with the PvP ones if its AB, but I usually do the rest. We'll see how that changes a few weeks from now.

Takes 10min to kill him in HM with heroes and henchman.

I've done the PvE quests (mission and bounty) every day since Friday, in fact I did Ring of Fire twice (on my mesmer and necro); generally, I do them on my mesmer which is my title char but I may do them on other chars too depending. I'm not a PvP type so I don't do the Zaishen combats. I don't find them grindy at all - in fact, I've been able to make definite progress on Guardian, Asura and EV tracks so far.

Ive been doing the missions and bounty and saving up the PvP ones (except the easy ones like JQ). I know that EVENTUALLY I'll get 9 wins in HA, but it sure ain't gonna be soon. Theres no rush.
Stolen Souls
Each morning I check the mission and bounty ones. If they are easy missions, or ones that I really like, I'll do it on my main character only. Same with the bounty...if it's not an annoyingly irritating boss (Rragar) I'll do it on my main. The PvP ones I don't even bother with...no reward will ever talk me into PvPing. I do them for fun, and that's it. I don't do them as a grind on all my characters (I won't pay for a Rragar run, or spend forever killing him myself, just to complete the bounty, for example). I just do them casually, and only do the ones I like.
faraaz
I mostly only do the mission quests on my monk (because I am having a lot of fun PvE monking for ppl again), and do the bounty ones on 2-3 characters. PvP quests are ghey.
jiggles
No, dragon arena is here, screw everything else.
IKNOW
Done a few but, it's just recycled content. what's to get excited about :/
Takeko Nakano
I might start doing the bounty quests if I need the extra faction, but apart from that I won't be. Grinding existing content I've done loads of times just to get coins for equipment packs is not my idea of fun!
ANet seem to be trying to trick us to replay the game by pretending they're doing something new. Or, perhaps more accurately, they're trying to get more people to buy the game by saying "there's more cool stuff to do than ever". Existing players are being shaken down by being encouraged to buy more storage space.

2) repeat them? my main toon can't repeat them. if you meant on my other toons then "no" i don't do the quest on them each.
felinette
I only do the mission and bounty quests and only if they're short (< 1hr). I'm more likely to do them if they're about something my character hasn't done yet (bounty in an area not vanquished, mission not done in HM). If a quest is really, really short (like the Molotov Rocktail one), I'll do it on more than my main character, otherwise I don't.
jimme
No, I don't do them.
Why bother playing the game once again ?
Didn't we get book to repeat the game again?
idk. I'll just wait for new content. (not meaning a Zaishen Menagerie...)

Abedeus
Only those bounty ones. Missions? No thanks, especially HM. AND NOT RING OF FIRE. I did that mission at least 5-6 times already and I hate it.
And usually only on my main, if the next boss is close, I'll get him on more characters. All HM of course, otherwise it would be too boring.

HawkofStorms
I've picked up all of them and have been working on them.
But only with my main character (its exam week, I don't have a ton of spare time).

El Presidente
Yes, on my main char I try to do all...
I pick and choose on my others, depending on where they are in the game, even saving ones I know are in an area that's close by.

Dante the Warlord
Bounty Quests are the most fun IMHO...
Naphtali
I try to do most of them but really can't be assed with long dungeons or similar things.
And I lost all of my build templates when reformating my comp recently so I also need to start my collection of bad builds all over again, so more pugs equals more builds I can save.

Karuro
I try and do them on the three chars I play most with. Mainly because they have access to all outposts.
And AB/GvG on my pvp.

Shadowhaze
I do some of them, others I don't bother with. Depending on the time it takes, I try to do them on at least a few other chars as well. There isn't enough time in the day to do them all daily on all my chars (well I'm sure there is, but I don't have that kind of time. 
).

Skyy High
I do the ones I feel like doing. I've done at least one a day since they came out, some on multiple chars, some on one or none.
Longasc
I usually only do the >boss hunt< in HM, if its easy. Boss close to entrance/exit and so on.
Farming the Hero Battles and creating a new pvp char over and over yielded the best results so far. Even without rolling. I tell you, you can treat a lot of players like NPCs, so my PvE experience yields great results...^^

Not so much anymore
I did them enough to get the light equipment pack but just don't have the patience to do 15 times that amount of work for the heavy one. Everything else is really too expensive to be worth it also (a hard mode boss bounty only gets you 1 fire work - bleh). So I just rearranged my mules to make them more efficient.
Yes, I'll do them if they happen to coincide with something else I'm doing anyway (vanquish an area or capping a skill, for example). Might as well get the extra reward if I'm doing same amount of work.
But beyond that, unless they lower the cost of the rewards, NTY.

From now on I'm only going to do them when they coincide with what I wanted to do when I logged on. Which probably means, hardly ever anymore.
I did them conscientiously for 4 days, and now I realize that it got me nowhere, that I was only doing them for a few lousy copper coins. None of the characters I'm still playing through the different campaigns made any progress at all.
My GWAMM did a few quests, another two of my characters did a few as well, and all of it was just randomly hopping across the map doing missions I had no real interest in doing or killing bosses I had no quarrel with. It was no more fun than it was before there were Z-coins.
Instead, I could have been doing what I wanted to do. I still have goals and ambitions in this game. Only stubborn mules need a carrot and a stick.

Since the AFKing ended - I was finally able to try out the Z-thingies!
Yay, I'll be buying my chest!

AngelWJedi
the first day or two i did the quests(ones i could) on all my chars. 3gold 9 silver 14 copper so far. >_> but now lately it seems like why bother? i grinded this stuff out already a long time ago and most of the time the reward for it nm or hm isnt worth it. please anet lower the amount you want for the large bag and moss spider egg! 
blood4blood
No. I did THK twice on old characters that never did the bonus, and hunted down Harn for the hell of it. That's it so far.
Nanood
Yep.. I thought after GWAMM I would be relaxing and just playing with no real focus.. And now this comes along... sigh.
Packs here i come !

Jensy
Yes, definitely. Have only done the PvE ones so far, but I've got the PvP ones saved until after the next skill balance. Really don't want to play right now in this busted up meta 
It's been nice seeing so many people around, even in the international districts where my alliance spends all of their time.

sph0nz
I've been doing the PvE ones on my main and some on a few others. I've obtained the quests on all of my characters, it's just a matter of doing them before I can't accept any more quests. I really can't be bothered to repeat the same quests 8 times a day though, so they've just been piling up.
Verene
Did Ring of Fire, since that's the point in Prophecies that my main is at anyway.
I have Consulate Docks in the quest log of three of my characters - my main who is Elonian and has already done it so I can just breeze through, and my other two that are leveled up and need to do it anyway.
And I just had a blast taking my Dervish into RA.
So some of them can be rather fun. I don't have many coins yet, but meh. Been getting a bit of money, xp, and Balthazar faction while doing so (and spent some on a zkey so my faction wouldn't hit the cap while doing RA, decided to use it on the chest, and got an Elite Monk tome. Sweet), so it's been worth it. I'm basically just picking and choosing what I want to do so it doesn't get boring or annoying.

Chorus
I've done the PvE ones every day with my guild so far on my elementalist, and have repeated a couple on my mesmer and ritualist. It's been fun, and it's providing a good incentive to start getting characters through the campaigns so I can do the quests on more than just my ele. I don't do the PvP ones, though, even when guildies are doing them. I've found, since I started playing again, that my interest in GW PvP has not returned.
Empress Amarox
No, I do not do them because the grind is ridiculous and I would rather just shell out gold for the bags from players who are crazy enough to grind it out.
Wish Swiftdeath
I do the missions and PvP usually, can't be bothered with the bounty(exception molotov).
The missions i do find boring so i only do it on my main. I try to do the PvP quests whenever possible(just done the RA one on two characters).
Unfortunately i'll be out for the rest of the day...I'm now getting the WOW feeling of being forced to play everyday, even if its just to log in and pick up the quests...

crazybanshee
Well, I have 10 chars.. I'll do a mission if it advances the char in any way (I actually did ROF in HM 10 times, because it forced me to infuse all my amor which I never bothered with even though I finished all the games) I'll do the bounty ones if they're quick, multiple times. I haven't done a pvp one yet, they're still in my log because I will eventually do them, I just haven't had the inclination. I do want equipment bags on most of my chars, and I want a moss spider. Once I'm done with that, I probably won't ever do them again unless its for a pvp that I do anyway, so I can get faction.
Rekiara Malevu
I check them, but only do the ones that fit within other goals - if I still need the mission credit or vanquish (if the bounty isn't also in a mission), or if I can do the PvP without having to form a 'real' team.
I figure it's bonus gold / rep / exp above and beyond what I'd get for doing what I was gonna do anyway. The coins, too, are just a bonus - I don't care enough about the bags to actively grind them.

cosyfiep
yes I do them on 16 characters (9 of whom have finished everything so they can do them all....some have yet to get places like my sv necro has done none of prophecies, hence no ring of fire, thk)
I did black tide den 16 times, killed walhi and harn a bunch of times, did the palace more than 16 times (all hm some bad pugs)....
once I get all the bags and such I will do them only from the bonus points (lb, asura, etc)....I have so far gotten 4 light bags...am now working towards the large and heavy ones.
I dont pvp so those quests mean nothing to me....others like kanaxi...didnt do, doa ones, nope.....consulate docks-yep. blood washes blood-yep (I hated that quest even before I redid it 14 times)....
now I have to go back and finish docks on 3 more characters before bed.
