So I do not mind Hero Pass at all. Every game has it you can either buy it or not, who cares. The thing that frustrates me about this specific hero pass is the progression. It seems that somewhere it has been forgotten there is a down time in MMOs where you are not earning XP which in also means Hero Points. A week before hero pass came out I decided I wanted to finish the quests (not a fan of them but things are needed) and was still working on some when Hero came out. While doing the quests I earned little to no hero points even though I was playing the game for hours doing them. I feel there needs to be a slight passive gain for those down times and then when skilling/clues/whatever else there was on the small list gain slightly more. I have since stopped doing quests to earn hero points and it seems weird to design something that would kill more content of your game then actually help (pertaining to us that arnt upset about a hero pass). My thoughts and nothing more.

A very easy way to take care of the little xp "down time" actually. You can bring some stackable items and operate on them with every minute or two. For instance, you can bring noted items to high alch or dissemble, or you can bring a stack of protean cogs and such you can operate on to gain xp and progress the likes of Hero Pass on the fly.

I wish they would just get rid of this encouraging to perform an empty action every 3 (or now really every single) minute. Granted it doesn't contribute to much progress anyway in the hero pass format, but it really would be preferable if they just had rolled over this automatic progress from frank's chest - especially considering how minor it is now.

But honestly - I wouldn't reward questing specifically, since this will just punish players who did said quests (or literally any one-off content, unless it's literally one of the special challenges everyone can collect) in advance. But if you were to receive progress for just being online, it obviously will contribute to progress while doing quests. Someone else will receive it for doing something else - obviously also single handedly fixing every single issue with the skill/kill format for things they've "forgotten" to add.
