I'm an irregular player these days (got the game on pre-release and I'm a dedicated fan of the gameworld and lore). I'm not about to quit over this - I'm a professor and gods know I literally teach classes for Game Studies where Guild Wars as a franchise stands out significantly in a variety of superb ways. I just don't have a lot of time to spare anymore. That noted. I also have a five year old son. A five year old son who is OBSESSED with dragons. Now, he and I got through the first days of collections. I dealt with the "Will I be able to ride the dragon TODAY mummy?" (he has a character on my account and mostly just loves to run around on mounts and change my dye schemes). He's beyond thrilled about the Skyscale. I don't really care.I sighed and set to, grinding away at each collection, day after day. But I will add my strong affirmation to the majority here: 250 per map is simply too much. I ground these places for other sets and armour and accessories. I'm TIRED of them. I have 33 or so characters, and sure, that means I could just do the farm path over and over.. and over... and OVER.. again.Or hearts.Already did map complete on most for previous grinds.Istan was a perfect balance of bringing people back, a bit of grind, but not so much that I wanted to gouge my eyes out. I only have Sandswept Isles and the Deldrimor Front left and I frankly don't know if I want to play much at all again. I've not really played all term with marking, research trips and teaching and writing. I was HOPING to take a few weeks to relax and escape into a very nice imaginary landscape.Instead I'm bloody grinding things I'm tired of. ... please adjust currencies to reflect the Istan map numbers, guys.
