Guild Wars 2

I really hope in future events you make permanent weapons cost much less to craft. For holidays people want fun items they use for a couple months, and put away for next year, or never use again. All of the components required to make the staff/shield/bow are insane (especially the 100 lodestones). It will take most people months to farm the mats for these, and by then they will want Christmas items. The exclusivity of holiday items should be about participation, not crazy grinds. It should be about showing off the fact you took part in GW2 Halloween 2012, not that you chose to spend 3 months farming one of these items instead of a regular legendary.
Why should we be able to craft a Halloween bow 6 months from now? I don’t even…

They really dropped the ball on this. The current options for getting the items or skins requires you to spend gold. I wouldnt even have to touch a single pumpkin if i so wished not to.
