Hi
You'll forgive me if the topic was broached before, but I havn't been able to find a thread on the topic.
I'm a bit of a completionist. I enjoy completing all the mission objectives. When doing the various Daily Missions on Belsavis and Ilum with my friends they often refuse to do them and rush off to get the primary mission done. They reason that at 50th level the reward for completing any of these bonus missions is not worth the effort. They neither care for the meager social xp it offers, nor are they concerned as much with Legacy XP.
The bonus missions don't really make sense do they? Maybe if you're doing them for the first time at level 47-49, but not when you're 50 and doing them every day. The primary reason people do dailies is for credits. After you've bought everything available with daily commendations it's the only reason left.
What I'm suggesting, hoping, and asking for here is that bonus be missions be given something that creates incentive to complete them. A very simple and straightforward thing to do would be simply add a credit reward or convert any xp gained to credits at a 1:1 ratio (I'll be honest I'll even be satisfied with .75 : 1). Maybe an extra daily commendation? How about a bonus daily mission that awards 1 Black Hole commendation if you complete every bonus?
I'm sure the community here can think of a better idea then I. However, if you're not going to add incentive for people to repeat these bonus missions then maybe you can make them more like the Ilum Bonus. You do it once, get a large bonus (6 Daily Coms!), and then it's gone. That would be a good compromise too.
Well, thanks for reading.
