Ever since the start of gaming there have been end of level/mission bosses.
Besides, if you do it right all skills are easily capped.
Stop putting bosses at the end of missions

because I thought players can cap the boss after they have finished the mission in the "explorable area"

It's annoying when you have to make a mission again to get an elite skill.
Those areas should have explorable counterparts or the elites should appear elsewhere in the same campaign, but a counter at the end of a mission would only be annoying.
It's better to separate campturing and making missions.
Specially in timed missions.

Also, excluding prophecies, all elites can be capped elsewhere! Especially the ones that are constantly QQ'ed about. And for those elites in prophecies, the elites that are at the end of a mission can be capped elsewhere.

Pretty much, the elites found exclusively on the Ring of Fire islands are the worst, and I don't think any of them come only from end-of-mission bosses.
/notsigned. Would be nice if they did something different for GW2, but we don't need it now.

Different forums have different customs on how old the last post in a thread must be before it's necromancy. If the moderators prefer, they can always split the thread where I posted if they would like to have a clean break from the old one.
Yes, I can read the wiki and find it elsewhere or use an elite tome if I have to. I prefer not to wiki/metagame my way through the campaign if possible, however--I like the role-playing aspect, and I enjoy the reward(s) of getting through the mission successfully and killing the end boss. I feel like I've earned something that way. Maybe that's a reflection of my having played the game only a few months or my strong preference for RPGs in general. It just drives me nuts that there's this inconsistency in being able to cap from bosses from mission to mission, and heaven forbid if I happen to forget which mission that happens to be.

make it a time thing like on the dragons challenge mission and other eotn stuff. you have 1 min or so to run around cap your skill, pick up your loot, etc.

I h/h capped all elites, never had this problem.

I hate people who cap in missions. I hate the fact in Prophecies you have to do a mission and get random spawn caps. The op's gripe about mineral springs, I do not understand as it is fully explorable and not a mission. It also has 6 elites and not 8. The faction caps are far easier than prophecies. The nightfall ones are generally the easiest by far. To say Anet did not do anything about making caps easier is patently rubbish. I finished capping prophecies with my ritualist recently and I certainly hate perdition rock, totally sick and tired of running around it.

All this and I still cannot fathom why most people consider Prophecies as the best campaign.
It's awful.
QQ less, get other campaigns and cap your shit there.

Sometimes you have to work while capping elites.

If this was Prophecies, I would feel sympathy.
But Factions and onwards provided explorable areas where you can capture the skills with no time needed.
Stop trying to cap Psychic Distraction in the mission, go into Sunjiang District explorable and do it.

pay balth faction?

I would make exactly the opposite.
I would completely LOCK signets of capture inside missions.
So you must go to explorable to capture them. And put monsters elsewhere when an elite can only be captured inside a mission.
That do not make PvE characters have the skill, and PvE tomes do not drop in normal mode and must be acquired from other players.

Skill caps are by and large very easy to do. Each of my chars has capped all of his or her elites, except for the monk but I had my rt do that. Now I am completing that with her for all elites. An Rt/A or Rt/W - what a joke.

Legendary Skill Hunter on two characters. I really don't see a problem here. Good thing they changed the way it used to be, when you had to use a cap sig WHILE the boss was using that elite skill. Much easier capping after he is dead.

The only element of difficulty is muddling through all the missions to get to the higher up areas with higher up elites.
But the bosses themselves? Pah. More often than not, they got like 4 peeps around them. Easy caps.

Elite Tomes were not available when this thread was started.
Seriously, why are we all /notsigning a two year old thread that isn't even applicable to the current game?

I did my skill hunter title well before Elite Tomes were out, hell even before Hard Mode existed. The "fun" of gettin the title is getting there and seeing the boss hasn't spawned then doing it again *grin* masochistic I know, but out you go again..... I did Abbadon's Mouth SIX times to get Restore Condition... yes was a pain but if you want an elite, you stick to it and get it.
Failing that, just be lazy and get Balth by running around Aspenwood pretending to do stuff and unlock then use a tome like many do.

one of the things I loved about perdition rock was the semi-chaotic nature of it. what boss will be where? will the roaming earth mage be there or not?
