You want to know why?

Cause Anet has a no grind policy. Why would they reward you for grinding and farming, when they are completely against the idea of grinding in the first place? So you grinded hours on end for GWAMM? Big deal. Anet has a no grind policy, so why do you think Anet should reward you for something they don't approve of?

I feel the same way. Why should you be rewarded for farming and grinding? You should be rewarded for accomplishments that you made in the game, yes, but not for spending all your time farming one specific spot just to get a title or some fancy weapon. That isn't an accomplishment or achievement. That's nothing to put on your trophy stand and say "Look what I did. I sat in the same area farming over and over till I got this fancy reward.". That's great. You know what I did that whole time you were doing that? I was killing great demons and dragons and slaying leaders that were trying to take over our lands and fought off great armies of enemies trying to wage war.

And you think you should be rewarded for farming?

It isn't even possible to display GWAMM so there is no reward...

They actually should reward you for the 30 different titles you have with points.

I'm betting my money on the fact that you don't have GWAMM, which makes your posts understandable....

This concept isn't difficult to crasp cause every muppet can buy 20 white minpets, 5 hero armor (or less with MOX and the animals...), get 5 easy titles, 5 armor and 11 destroyer weapons.

It would be ridiculous if somebody like that would get the same as someone who has 30+ titles and a lot of other stuff.

It is ridiculous if some one that has all the super high end minis to get rewards that others cannot. It is basically impossible to obtain some of those minis via regular game play. I know your gonna say..."well you can buy them"....but be real who through regular game play will obtain 20k ecto? Then go get another 30k ecto to buy the others? Not only that but there is a finite number of those minis and once they are all dedicated that's it.....no one else will be able to dedicate one. It's simply irrational to think they should get rewards that others cannot.

I'm actually R5 into that title, but either way, my opinions won't change on the matter. Whether I have the title or not, doesn't matter to me. The only display you get for that title, is the statue in the back of the title monument, so if you wanted, you could say that counted towards a full HoM.

Yes I do farm on occassion. But my point is, I don't want to be rewarded for farming or grinding, as that is not something Anet smiles upon. I find it unfair to reward others cause they grinded more than someone else (even though I have myself), when Anet doesn't approve of grinding. Why say "We don't approve of grinding and the game is grind free" then go and give bonus rewards to those that grind? It makes no sense and it is contradictory to what they said.

Well this is where the point system kicks in mate.
This way you can still aquire the same rewards (or close to) as somebody with some super rare minipets, which give him/her more points. All you have to do is get another title or armor, or some other stuff. (I don't know how the points will work, this is just a basic principle of a point system.)

I know there are some people with a lot/all rare mini's. But am I in any way jealous or do I think that's unfair? No, not really. They did a good job in GW1 and deserve a nice title and or mini on GW2 imo. Or a heads up on points which allowes them to farm less titles.

Not really.. GWAMM (and the statue) are character based and not account wide based, like the HoM.

That might be fair if there were no ceiling on the HoM....but you simply cannot go get another title than some one that already has them all. Plus think about the logistics of the super high end minis.....what are the chances that someone got them all by legit means? I think very slim to none. Which means.........wait for it.......... They more or less likely cheated....I'm not talking about having one or two but having them all.

I think Anet wouldent blunder with the minis vs points vs rarity thing, what I feel they will or should do is give points only to birthday minis or give the same amount of points to all minis.

Oh and one more theory is this, points for the mini section of HoM could be done like this: white minis = 2 points, purple = 5, gold = 10 points.

That way at least even if someone got a rediculously rare mini they wouldent have an advantage or at least a massive advantage over a player who simply has regular birthday minis.

Anyway this could all turn out rather irrelevant and the maximum points could be determined by simply having 20 minis = max points for devotion. Then most of will feel like a bit of a plonker in the end

I know at least one person who has them all

Dunno if Wasabi cheated though

But uhm if you believe what you say is true then what are you worried about? If there are indeed close to none people who have them all?
Imagine a point system where you can buy every GW2 reward but in which you aren't required to have the super rare minis.
That still leaves you with around 30+ titles, 90+ mini's, 22 weapons, lots of armors but that is definitly doable and doesn't cost 2k ecto's

Basically this...it encourages gold buying/selling and methods of cheating.

The super high-end minis are the only ones I have issue with as they are the only ones that are not obtainable via regular game play.

When it comes to "points", Im hoping that everything displayed gives an equal number of points. For example, every mini displayed gives a point apiece, every weapon displayed (no matter if they are destroyer or tormented) gives a point apiece, every pet/hero displayed gives a point, every accomplishment displayed should give one point, and every armor regardless of price or "prestige level" should give a flat one point. This is the best way to do it I think so that those who have a life outside of GW can still obtain the same types of rewards/whatever that the people with all the rare stuff they grinded for can obtain.

I wouldn't mind if you could get like Minis: 1 point white, 1.5 points purple, 2 points gold and 3 points green.

Weapons: 2. same points. ***k Tormented weapons lol.

Titles: 2 points each. Maybe 1 point for those you don't need to complete (like faction or Zaishen).

Armors: 1,5 points each.

Heroes: 1 point each. 2 for MOX and Razah. 1 for pets.

That is if like small rewards are 10 points, bigger are 20 and grand are 30. Then the difference in points won't be a big deal.

Why 2 points for mox?
I think they might do this. But how many points would you give the real rare ones. Like the panda, kanaxi, vizu.
At first I thought well they are just mini's no need to give them extra points. But not so sure anymore.

People tend to forget the no grind philosophy was part of the level of gameplay skill, not any cosmetic changes. This means that it was based on skill instead of the amount of time someone put in when it came to competitive matches and the like. Saying that they shouldnt reward grind when it comes to purely cosmetic stuff for GW2 is wrong.

I agree, the rewards will be purely cosmetic anyway..
So why not simply reward the 30+ titles guys with some cool title in GW2, people who didn't bothered with titles in GW1 shouldn't be to bothered with it in GW2 too, at least is they are consistent in their view

EVERY mini counts for its color. I don't give a damn about people's "ultra-rare-used-tons-of-ectos-to-get" minis. They are simply expensive 3 points.

I really do hope they don't do anything as silly as giving extra points for 'colors and rarity of minipets' It'll be hugely complicated, cause a huge fuss and wont gain anything except stroke the egos of a few people who farmed and grinded for years.

What they will probably do is give points based on how complete the HoM is, and then bonus points for each level in the KOBD title track.

The whole HoM is one big grind. Sorry, its the truth. Having the HoM filled above and beyond is what you will be getting benefits for in GW2, not for "being a dedicated player" as you aimlessly accomplished very little. This is how it will be, as promised from the very release of EoTN when Anet said you would be getting special things from the HoM in GW2.

People who put effort into the HoM should be recognized for their effort, as Anet promised at EoTN release. And those people would really enjoy knowing what those rewards would be since Anet said we would be finding out "very soon" weeks ago.

That very soon statement they gave us a few weeks ago is turning into the whole "when its ready" scenario.

"When it's ready" should honestly just be a catchphrase for Anet.

I don't understand why they're always so willing to throw around time approximations anyway. They don't even have a timetable for GW2 or GW1, so why bother giving us any hope?

But, if I open my prezzie and a mini-Rurik pops out while you open yours and a mini-whiptail pops out, did I really "do more" than you did? That's what some of the proposals would have us believe.

Schemes like these will cause nothing but endless bickering and encourage endless grind just to get one more point. My gold minis are worth more than your gold minis, so they should get more points. My LDoA took more time to get than your LMotN, so it should get more points. My LMotN is an award for real accomplishment, not mindless grind like your LDoA, so it should get more points. My Black Widow was harder to cap than your Black Moa, so it should get more points.

Many of the proposals can be boiled down to giving more rewards for more time played and more gold accumulated. "My stuff cost more than your stuff, so I win. Don't bother asking me how I got the money." Giving extra rewards for FoW gives the rewards to anyone who did endless UWSC and spent the profits on FoW. Is this really an accomplishment that deserves extra rewards? The guy who settled for Elite Flameforged probably came by his more honestly, representing a truer accomplishment.

If spending a lot of time and/or a lot of gold to get something is a true measure of accomplishment, then let's just make it easy. Just total up the hours played and the cash value of all assets held across all characters on the account and call it the e-peen score.

Thought I'd bump this back here, since it seems to make some of the best arguments about HoM rewards, especially the part about minipets. I was going to toss in a comment about those, but this post all ready summed those ideas as well as I could have put them.

ANet said you won't get an advantage in GW2 for having a filled HoM. Hence it's optional to have a filled/full HoM, thus grind is optional. You've said multiple times that you won't buy GW2, so why do you insist on your interpretation of something, when you don't even care about the game HoM is all about?

Yes it will be cosmetic. However, I am frankly annoyed at the clowns who have said that nothing should be given from the HoM even though that directly contradicts what Anet promised. Then again, Anet isn't known for following their "goals" too closely. I insist on this interpretation because it is accurate.

And I do care. For if the benefits are lacking I won't be able to make some money off of my HoM. It's pure self-interest. But to say people that have taken extra steps to do more in filling out their HoM shouldn't be given more points for rewards is ridiculous. People who did more should be rewarded more, even if its only cosmetic. This isn't some socialist country. In fact, MMO's have a very cut-throat capitalist society. People who did the bare minimum to fill out their HoM's (5 statues in the honor section, 5 armors, 20 basic minis, destroyer weapons, etc...) did not work as hard as people who have gone far beyond that (destroyer AND tormented weapons, GWAMM, all elite area statues, etc...).

The point made earlier is that effort has nothing to do with someone getting a gold mini out of a bday present whereas someone such as myself has only gotten purple and white minis (I've never gotten a rare mini out of a bday present, ever). This is true. But someone who has 40 minis in their HoM certainly has put more into it than someone who has 20 minis in it, rarity aside. That person should have 40 points while the other should have 20 to spend on the vanity HoM items in GW2.

My guess is "points" will be awarded for each statue added on each monument, likely in "tiers", in a quantity directly comparable to the difficulty/rarity of the accomplishment. Rewards tied to the specific monument (ie. the "honor" rewards require "honor" points from the Monument of Honor).

I'm not so sure about this.

They have just said it won't take a full hall to get rewards: " It does not take a full hall to receive rewards".

However, the rewards from an incomplete hall could very well be smaller than those of a full hall.

I find this actually rather hilarious seeing as Anet has already stated that you can't sell or trade the rewards from your HoM. They are purely cosmetic items just for you only. No one else.

Anet has already stated that the rewards are purely cosmetic and will not give you an advantage over other players. So that means, no weapons, armors, etc to make you better than anyone else.

I understand the benefits are purely cosmetic. There might still be "tiers", however, depending on how complete the HoM was. If a character gets to be more "shining" by having a fuller hall, then you can bet people will want the most "shinies" possible, even if those are purely cosmetic. Who wouldn't want an extra emote, extra dance, shining stuff overall? I certainly wouldn't mind any!

I find it hilarious that you don't understand what I'm saying by "I will make money off of my HoM." I need not say more.

In agreement with Winforce, just because the rewards don't give you an advantage doesn't mean that the more you do in your HoM won't earn you more rewards.

In agreement with Winforce, just because the rewards don't give you an advantage doesn't mean that the more you do in your HoM won't earn you more rewards.

Either your planning to sell your account or you don't have a response to how you plan on making money from it.

Anyway, hopefully there is some type of badass HoM armor that I can get that won't be a reskin of some other armor.

"Question Submitted by Vile Shadowstep: We know that the Hall of Monuments will grant us exclusive items. What I want to know is if we will be told what items will be given for completing certain things, e.g. having Legendary Carto, full hall, etc.

Izzy: Think of it kind of like a culmination of all the different things that you do, and then here are the rewards that you’re going to get. There are a couple of things that will be a one to one ratio, but we really didn’t want to make it a case of ‘get this thing and be rewarded with that thing’ because there’s a lot of stuff that you’re doing in Guild Wars 1. Also, we don’t want it to be the case where people feel obligated to go buy Guild Wars 1 and have to go do all of these things for the rewards. We just want it to feel like you are rewarded for playing Guild Wars 1, rewarded for the time that you’ve spent in the game and enjoying that time, and feel proud of your accomplishments.

It’s going to kind of be like, here are the things that I’ve done and here are the rewards for those things. So it’s an accomplishable thing. And there are also things that you can get for being really extreme.

We’re going to be having more details coming out really soon so you can see exactly what you get, and it will be all laid out. All of that information will be available in the next couple of months. But again, the idea and feeling of the system is that in Guild Wars 2 you should kind of feel rewarded for the stuff that you did in Guild Wars 1 but we’re not trying to make it so that every single accomplishment in that game is equally represented on a one to one ratio. It’s more of a culmination of things that you did that you’ll be rewarded for."

fyi

I guess for all those who await the info update, the sentence "All of that information will be available in the next couple of months. " is most important.

Noticed that as well in the interview. I hate how they say VERY SOON and really soon, then say in the next couple months. At least we now have an idea on the time range they consider to be "very soon".

Einstein already stated that time is relative

But I must say, if very soon means a couple of months that's just ridiculous, even by Anet standards.

They say that all the information will be available in the next couple of months, not that we'll have to wait a couple of months to know anything.

Unless you know the order in which the information is released, this may as well be the case.
