Give us 1 skill point for completing bonuses

This suggestion is simple, and is tailored to those of you in the crowd who complains about "grinding" for skill points as well as those of you who complains "missions have no replayability".

Give us one skill point as reward for completing the bonus portion of a mission.

This way, by completing a mission from beginning to end, with the bonus, the total reward would be 2000 xp + 2 skill points.

It would certainly reduce the grind in acquiring and unlocking new skills as well as giving incentive to try out those difficult bonus obejctives, which are being ignored right now because, hey, let's face it, what's an extra 1000 xp when you're already decked out in full gear at Hell's Precipice?

Agreed. Bonus completion only gives 1k exp... so the onyl way you get a skill point out of that is if it triggers a level up.

Yes. I do indeed concur. Wholeheartedly.

This provides incentive to do the bonuses, and is a good way to get extra skill points for those out (like me)

However, FYI, doing the 10,000 point quests in UW and FoW get you skill points realy fast!

I agree to the UW quests... do those twice (easy) and you got a skill point, AND the chance for drops!!

As for the bonus skill points? /Signed.

I would like to see the feature of skill points as a bonus reward added as well.

How many times can you do the same quests without getting bored? At least with the bonuses there is a good amount of variety involved.

this sounds like a reason to kick the dust off of my older characters, but, I repeat, BUT, I better get the skill points for the bonuses I have already done.

That's great if you're a profession people want to take into those areas. I gave up after hours of advertising for a quest group in either area as my mesmer, who desperately needs skill points.

If you think the bonuses aren't hard enough, maybe you haven't tried all of them. I can tell you that The Wilds' bonus is not easy, nor is Abbadon's Mouth (I mean, you have to kill *everything* along the npc's route before you release her to prevent her from dying, meaning you have to know how to do it well in advance).

See what a great idea this is?

And yes, of course you would be compensated for the bonus quests you've already done when and if this is implemented.

this is sorta what i was thinking....are you guys talking about going back and doing missions and bonus' a 2nd, 3rd, or 4th time? and earning skill points over and over for doing the same thing?

Better idea: Make it so that after compleating EVERY bonus there is a dude aty say Ember LIght Camp who if you talk to him gives you as many skill points as there are bonuses. This makes it an incentive to actually finish em all and not something to do when you just need that 1 more skill real quick.

OK, so I like the idea of getting a skill point for each bonus, but this sounds like a real challenge. I like it.

Now, about those bonuses that seem impossible.........

Some sort of reward for doing ALL the bonus missions would be sweet.

As for getting a skill point for doing the bonus... PLEASE. PLEASE ANET PLEASE
