Anyone else miss the conquest system?

Is it just me or does anyone miss this? I enjoyed completing the achievements and the rewards. It seems like there are less and less things to do in this sandbox and we are being led to just grind monsters.

We lost:
Conquest
Fish tanks
Stealable rares
Poker tables

The last 2 have their reasons but the point is we are slowly loosing things that you can do other than fight. Would just kinda like more options is all.

I think it would be hard to bring the conquest points back to "life" because it might create concern for the duration that had passed, from them being deactivated. So, for example, taming the "rare white horse", was a conquest point and if you tamed it during the disabled conquest, then would it count as credit, even though it probably wouldn't? (It was the only one I could really remember, off hand. lol). This might cause more commotion, bringing them back and not getting credit. If they were to bring them back, bring in a new slate of conquest tasks, where everyone starts off with nothing and square one? Doing it this way, would prevent people complaining about "completing" conquests, that you remembered, while they were deactivated. Yes, I know and understand that the individuals who were working towards them, would probably be upset, but it would be a even/fresh start, like the mage casting so many spells, gets "x" for a reward. I don't know, it is just a thought, but I can agree with the option of giving you a "challenge" or something "new" to do.

I don't remember the fish tanks ever being here, so I cannot really comment on that, sorry!

As for the others, people just thrive on exploiting... It is the truth and will not ever be avoided, unfortunately. However, on a positive note, small poker table has been reinstated, for now... lol

... You kindly forgot everything we've added since these have been removed haha.

Conquests will come back, no idea about fish tanks??, stealable rares were put into monster drops as unique rares instead of the same 5 people getting every single stealable simply because they knew the location/timer over/over/over again(some people had 20+ of a "rare" then set the market for them). Small poker is back in.

Please look at all the patch notes to see all the stuff we've added since we've removed stealable rares which was around a year ago or so i think. The list is long!
Conquests is a big one i want back but it was causing issues and needs to be re-written. There will be a militias post coming up explaining a server wide test day, and launch of the new guild s ystem/militias. After that we can look at conquests, it's just not a huge priority to tell players how many mobs they've killed and where they've traveled atm.

Hope i answered some questions.

Definitely answers some questions. But pointing out:

*Fish tanks thought these where like osi tanks with mini quests and collecting fish having random rare events. There is one on the gold sink vendor now I couldn't afford yet just assumed this was the same?

*Conquest was more than just how many monsters you killed. You had exploration achievements, trade skill achievements and some nice rewards for doing so. I understand why it was removed it is just missed is all.

*I know there has been a lot of content added and things where not just haphazard removed. Honestly all the additions are much appreciated and the content added constantly dwarfs any production shards I remember so I am not complaining by any means if that's how it sounded? I just appreciate non combat related events to this game or things don't require a skill per say.

The fish tank on the gold sink vendor is the same, it's the huge one.
