Guild Wars 2

Anet has fetish with RNG. If you’re paying real money for something, that shouldn’t be random. Down with lottery.

yup,gonna be my last time purchasing gems

Leave the gambling to the riches where they are meant for.

thanks for the info. I will not be using real money to get those chests. hint hint anet.

You weren’t around for Halloween were you? See, they did this same thing with BLC and keys. And people were really mad. Players pretty much declared en masse that they were done buying keys.

So…Anet introduces a new chest for an event that doesn’t require keys.

Their solution to people raging over spending money to unlock chests on a gamble was to sell unlocked chests instead.

I think Crystin may have totally missed the point somewhere…but this still amused me and had me laughing out loud for a good few minutes. It just didn’t amuse me enough to make me want to spend money on a slot machine again.

Lol seriously. It’s like anet is out of touch with its player base, but then again they’ve been showing that since launch.

Actually considering that posts like this are still cropping up, I think they’re borderline genius.

All I want from those chests is the pets, and possibly the new breather skin. Plenty will drop during the event though and prices on the TP will plummet so I’ll just buy on Sunday…

I sure as hell won’t be spending any more money on this crap.

Funny thing, I opened 10 chests (my personal limit) got one or more of each type of mask and shoulder skin (light, medium, and heavy) and the axe skin.

No minis which is what I would have liked but I didn’t expect it (fingers crossed for drops). I just buy them because it’s my way of ‘paying a sub fee’ more or less. I like the game and I want to support it so if once I month I drop a bit of cash on a chance to get something I’m okay with that.

I’m not remotely bothered, especially since it’s better than the way halloween BLCs worked. I also didn’t approach it thinking I was ‘buying’ something. It’s kind of like if I go to a casino I go to spend money on entertaining myself rather than trying to win money. Change your perspective and you change your reality.
