hmm ok i see, i thought they would implement additional stuff, a way to earn more seals, but they are just replacing old stuff with some more specific tasks...a bit disappointing tbh
thanks for giving me this input
So what "Offering you new ways to earn Seals of Endeavor" actually meant was "make earning seals of endeavor as unappealing as possible so you'll all buy loot boxes again" ... Can't say I'm surprised.

We want to stress that the way Endeavors are currently arranged on the PTS is for testing purposes. However, when they are on the live server, they will be curated along with existing Endeavors to ensure there is flexibility in the kinds of Endeavors offered to players of various skill levels. As such, you should not see all five daily Endeavors tied to only completing dungeons, for example.
The same can be said for Endeavors that are tied to specific Chapters or content. The goal is not to make all the Endeavors for the day or week tied to owning a Chapter. The Endeavor changes on the PTS are designed to add more diverse ways to earn Seals on the live server, while also maintaining that everyone has a number of options to do them each day/week while playing the game.

Just to clarify here. We are not replacing old stuff. We are adding additional endeavors to the pool of existing endeavors. We outlined this a few weeks back. Here is the quote for reference.We want to stress that the way Endeavors are currently arranged on the PTS is for testing purposes.

I always understood "curated" in the context of endeavours as therre being some human agency involved in the process of selecting endeavours - at least at certain times. During /at least some ) events endeavours appear that actually make sense during an event, like the "holiday quest" one. Of course this process could be automated after all these years, but an actual person at least must have set up the rule that said "holiday quest" endeavour would turn up on day one of an event.
We are adding additional endeavors to the pool of existing endeavors.

Oh, indeed, but still only selecting 5 each day, and three for the weeklies.
So instead of "kill a boss in a public dungeon", today we had the replacement, sorry... addition: "kill a boss in a public dungeon in Blackwood".
Not only is that more specific, and so more restrictive, as an individual endeavour, it also requires DLC ownership.
Adding to the pool but not increasing the number of options is more restrictive. ZoS knows it. We know it. Kevin knows it...
And I pity him for having to perpetuate the lie that ZoS is somehow adding "more diverse ways" of earning seals, when really they are more restrictive.

they have already had those types for awhile even before this current update
i think even just last week before the update there were a few days with "kill public dungeon bosses in a particular zone"
i agree that it will get annoying for newer endeavors if they all the sudden start requiring guild members in group to complete though, but im all for new endeavors with additional activities such as playing tribute
