Daily Credit Discussion
Hello, all! I'm making this thread as a general discussion of Daily Credit generation.
The sort of feedback I'm looking for here includes comments on the current methods of generation (do they work? are they broken? are some too easy? some too hard?) as well as suggestions for new methods of generation. Keep in mind when suggesting new methods that the goal here is still for the full generation of all 20 credits to take somewhere between 1 and 2 hours (closer to the 2 hour side than the 1 hour side) for all players.
With that laid out, let's hear some feedback!

Something for harvesting might be worthwhile. Maybe harvesting the maximum amount of plants so that it's at least somewhat fair to people who don't have terrarium and gloves.
It would also be nice if the spawnwaves that always give a certain amount of credits instead always gave a certain amount of additional credits. For example, doing Demon's Pass nets you 5 credits regardless if you do it first (which is always worth 5 credits) or last (which is normally worth 1 credit). If it were additional, the optimization wouldn't matter as much.
It would be nice if spawnwave credit for dailies was based on % experience instead of damage or kills. If I take people bashing with me, they aren't going to reach the threshhold at all.
Butterflies is interesting, I'll see how easy that is to hook. I may have it handled at turnin instead of catch.
Shards: I'll look into how this currently works and see if it's a bug that I can track down. I definitely see some issues with the code right off the bat.
Spawnwave: We want people actually contributing to get the credits, but I also don't want to make it unduly hard on lower leveled players. I'll think about it, but I don't want to make it any easier to be "carried" to your daily credits without putting in effort. (Bosses already sort of work against that goal, though)
Closest point of comparison on rewarding (daily) credits for PK would be the Fight Club. Perhaps daily credits for Champion-on-Champion violence can be tied to the CHALLENGE function, and given to the winner (and perhaps the loser as well) when it ends?
Heavily artifact players with scepters, cards, etc will prevent others from contributing. I am happy to take people bashing with me, but I usually discourage them because the only thing they'll gain is experience. They will not, unless they're basically similarly equipped, manage to do enough or get enough kills to get full credit despite being present for the entire spawnwave and doing their best to contribute. Really, most players that come bashing with me are like lion cards, but worse; they normally won't get a chance to attack, let alone get a kill, but sometimes they finish something I almost killed, except without resetting my law card.
I understand not wanting people to be carried, but it simply sucks when there are people that mutually want to spend time with me, but then feel obligated to tell them that the best use of their time is to go off on their own if they want to earn dailies.
