===Kill and damage type minigame ([[ArenaNet talk:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Minigames|Discussion]])===

It would be fun to include a minigame which periodically rewards the character for completing a number of in-game goals. For instance killing a certain number of a certain monster type, killing a certain number of monsters with a particular type of damage, picking up loot of a certain type. The rewards could be reputation points, random loot, consumables.

An example of this in another game is Hellgate: London. A player is given three goals represented by 3 icons with numbers over them on the HUD. These count down as the player kills a monster or picks up some loot. When all are completed a random drop of loot occurs and the game resets with new goals and you start over. The goals are retained over instances.

; Why this is a good idea
* It is a fun addition adding interest to picking up even dull loot.
* Encourages users to change weapons or pick different skills in PvE to try to complete the goals.

;Why it may not work out
* The loot mechanism is well suited to Hellgate but may not translate well to Guild Wars.
* How to determine kill counts in a group? How to determine damage type of the killing blow? There is complexity here which might be difficult to implement.
* Would this work for individuals or as a team? A monk for instance when monking for a team wouldn't directly kill anything.
