Guild Wars 2

I know tons of people are not happy about the bad odds of the chests and the amount of mats it takes to make stuff in the forge yada yada yada. I am NOT one of those people. I played the slots and lost. I’m not sad or mad about it. It is what it is. I, however, AM one of those people that think things probably could have been handled differently.
What would have been a better idea would have been to take the four hour rentables totally out of the game and replace them with Karma/candy corn (or a combo of both) with permanent weapons that were not as cool as anything else you could get through more time and effort. Add a slightly better looking set (obtainable in game) as an extremely rare trick or treat bag drop. I’m talking like as rare as a black lion chest key. Lastly, have the best looking stuff come from the mystic forge using the same method as is currently in place (similar to legendaries). Not the recipes but the actual items and they should be soulbound. The alternet method for getting those extremely hard to make things (for most people) should be to buy said items as a skin through diamonds. Like around 1k of them.
Everyone gets at least something halloweeny that isn’t rentable and they can keep around. Everyone gets a good shot at something pretty cool, but not guaranteed. People can work very very hard to create the best weapon for whatever char they play as a main or…they can spend money and buy it the easy way.
In short.
Three sets of weapons, that are better looking the harder they are to get (unless you spend money).

You do realize that 1000 gems is like 12 bucks right?

Well, whatever they decide that is fair. I just threw in a number as an example.
