Fused Weaponry
I’ve spent money on keys. RNG is random. Twenty chests and no drop. /shrug
This, imo, is the worst part of the content update. Those weapons are awesome. Far better than the gloves or anything else (except maybe the infinite usage picks).
I’m really really sad that we can only get the weapons via the BLC. Same with the Halloween shoulderpads and the Lost Shores stuff. This constant RNG stuff via the BLC is just… demotivating to me. The dyes in this is just as bad.
I really hope they stop – or at least lessen – with it. I’d much rather get gear SAB style or hell, even like how one had to get The Crossing/The Mad Moon/Arachniphobia from Halloween. Far better than (limited time?) RNG stuff.
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.
I don’t want to be “that guy” but in this case I am the nearly extinct recipient of lucky RNG for this BL item.
I quit back in November due to lack of content. Came back about 1.5-2 weeks ago, got my engie up to 80 and started a necro. I was totally ignorant of Frost and Flame, which is good, since it consisted of a months worth of banging fence posts. At level 16 I noticed I had a couple keys from map completion. I unlocked a few chests and didn’t even bother to look at what I got, since I know the RNG is garbage anyway. The next day I notice an unfamiliar item in my bags.
Hello new staff skin!
I was torn with what to do with it. My ranger and mesmer were already decked out, and nothing looks good on an asura engineer. I had been purposely trying to make my necro look color blind and ugly as can be just for giggles. Now, I might just have to deck this little guy out after I keep transmuting that skin onto his staff for the next 60 levels LOL.
80 Engineer / 80 Guardian
80 Necro / 80 Thief

Totally agree, I think that in the future, the coolest-looking people will have their skins bought from GemStore, by that time I’ll have stopped playing Guild Wars 2.
After all, everything comes down to skins, why should I play a game if the only ones rewarded are those who spend A LOT of ca$h to get random drops from BLC?
It’ll not become “pay-to-win”, but “pay-to-havesomething”.
