I think 150 Zoins is plenty - you get a fair amount of dough from it aswell (1500 is as much as 3x what you get from the missions etc.

I've done the vanquish each day since it came out and I've really enjoyed it - today was particularly fun (Griffon's Mouth) because its an area which I haven't been to since I did it for LegVanq and it was nice to see it again. Brought back memories of my first play through of Proph

I keep buying heavy Equipment packs and selling them for around 130k... not bad coins, though the additional ZV copper may drive the price down some.

Don't really care. If it was an area I still had to do anyway, then sure, nice bonus. But not really going to redo an area just for the coins.

EDIT: Oh, and would it kill them to add a z-vanq board to GTOB? Or z-combat to embark beach? Annoying to have to change between them rather than having a place with all 4 boards you can check in one shot for the dailys rather than switching towns.

this.

it contributes and eventually will max out the VQ titles, and u get z-coins? who cares about the rewards, titles that gets you max titles, can't complain.

Exactly. Can be hard to motivate yourself to sit down and VQ without that extra stimulus.

Plus, for those that like to party for their instead of soloing everything: this is the ONLY way to find a human party outside of guildies for a VQ. I doubt most guilds field full human teams for VQ, even before the hero update. Now, people have that option.

Someone does need to look at the Z Coins offered though.

Holdings of Chokin, 150 foes, 150 coins.
Griffon's Mouth, 50 foes, 50 coins
Kinya Province, 140 foes, 50 coins..

Yeah that sounds logical.

I did wipe on the Crimson Mesmer boss group, as the nearby group had 2 healers and a Wanderlust Rit, oh well only 240,000 XP into survivor.. Guess I can start again now

It is of course awesome:

1) It increase the rewards for vanquish, which are pretty low to start with - they aren't great yet, but hey, it is more than it was.

2) It gives a focal point for people that want to vaquish and enjoy pugging.

3) Gives more xp - and xp just became much more useful.

4) Reputation titles involve less grind - and if Anet decides to nerf PvE only skills people won't be able to complain that the titles required to power those skills are to hard for the benefits they grant.
