Percursor Scavenger Hunt. Your suggestions?

Sad, sad face.

Well, the new rewards might make up for it.

I want the scavenger hunt to be HARD. As in, I need to go everywhere in the map, maybe even complete a new, rock hard jumping puzzle and defeat a dungeon a la Slaver's Exile.

Indeed! I would love have a historical lore-filled quest line blended into the mix as well; giving something you are looking for an epic historical discovery plot would make it even more rewarding at the end IMO; well, along with an appropriate cool looking final legendary skin to match ;p.

I remember ANet talking about how one would get their profession Elites through quests (sad that did not come to fruition). I always dreamed about crossing a barren desert to finally find a deserted monastery containing an old book of death magic -- where upon fighting the undead guardians -- would acquire my new elite skill. Something like that for the precursors.

There are lots of skill checks in the game. Jumping puzzles (a la Skipping Stones and MKT) are one. Other examples would be soloing a champion, reach a certain level in fractals, kill x players on your own in WvW.

Blend these with a "historical lore-filled quest" (CMEPTb) and there you go, got your awesome scavenger hunt.
What's so cool about all of this is that there really isn't anything similar to this in other MMOs, so once again, ArenaNet has the chance to innovate if they do it right.
(IMO Jumping puzzles were one of the greatest innovations of GW2)
