Guild Wars 2

Having used a good couple of hundred keys since the introduction of them with Aetherised skins and they don’t make up for the extra key drop they essentially replaced. Ignoring the fact that full tickets are horrible RNG in their own right, they also do not add a sense of ‘progress’ towards a skin; RNG luck needed for 10 drops is only slightly behind RNG luck of a single one. My point is that the system still sucks and it’s a tacky way to create ‘rarity’ of these skin. In a cosmetic preference based game this a stupid justification that only appeases those who get off on the idea of having something others don’t.

Up the scrap rates and bring back that extra key. As a side note I agree with others who’ve pointed out that gem prices for keys is absurd, if you’re going to abuse people’s gambling weaknesses at least make it less of a blatant money grab. I for one have never and will never buy keys with gems and it’s frustrating enough as it is.

I feel that they should just up the requirement to convert scraps to tickets and just make scraps a guarantee drop.

Sorry for the off topic but this isn’t the only RNG way to get skins. Look at fractal skins. You can farm forever and not get the correct rare skin you want. I know someone that’s got almost all of them except the one he wants, some multiple times.

you cant farm forever and not get the skin you want math says your wrong there.
the chance is low yes but given the skins are there permanently(some of them) i think its ok as its something you get slowly very slowly

Apologies. What (s)he meant that you can do 250 fractal dailies, that’s 250 hours, worth of “grinding” to get that specific fractal weapon skin you want – and be without luck.

There is no getting it slowly very slowly. Either you’re lucky with your very first fractal 20 or not so lucky by the time of your 250th or 400th fractal 48 – or anything inbetween. And to even run that (prl) 48 (for best chance in rng lottery) first time you’ve spent 50+ hours in fractals.

Legendaries are someting you can obtain slowly – about 1 per month pace.

Ehm, I don’t know if this is what you wanted to say. But if you have acquired 12 legendaries since launch, I applaud your merchandary efforts.
