Every source of AP has a cap.That and those pesky AP hunters didn’t want to log in every day for eternity to keep their somewhat meaningless top spot on the leaderboard. Imo, the daily AP cap could be removed if AP wasn’t visible to other players at all. Ok but there's no reason to put a cap when you have rewards at regular intervals, but you continue to change how you gain those points. It's a complete nonsense. Also, who cares to be in a top spot for such a thing? We had the chance to do a ton of AP when the game was released, then they changed that maybe...3 times? more? but we still have a chest reward every 500 ap, armor pieces with larger gaps between them. I'm not a "chinese farmer", i can play the game a lot in a particular moment, just log in for the dailies like i'm doing now that I play other things, etc...why should I be penalized and be forced to do maybe some things I'm not interested in to reach those goals? I still like the game, playing it from day one (well, day -3 cause I preordered it), played GW1 too, but every decision arenanet makes, seems to be going to privilege farmers/botters instead of long time players, and that's sad, because that's not what they promised with their (now bullshit) manifesto.
