Guild Wars 2

the drop rate for a sclerite weapon skin ticket is waaayyyy too low…
this is the first time I have been disapointed with this game since the beginning.

Is the Dragon bash skin tickets going to be as rare? if so – I won’t bother with it.
The dragon shield image on MMORPG looks awesome but I have a strong feeling its the same impossible carrot on a stick like sclerite weapon tickets….

Way too low Anet.

Dragon coffers will be easier to get than the sclerite ones (since you get a guaranteed one for winning the dragon ball, for example), but I’d expect the posibility of them containing a weapon skin ticker to be about the same based on the wording of the event description “You can find weapon tickets inside Rich Dragon Coffers” (the gem store ones) “and (rarely) in Dragon Coffers”

So, wasn’t this game supposed to be against grind? Or am I playing the wrong game?

This game is against stat grind, they said absolutely nothing about grinding for optional cosmetic skins.

thats true, but they also said cash poor/ time poor can get what theyre after one way or another but I tried both for sclerite and nothing….
My point is – the drop rate must be very very low, as in – unfair. imo.

I would assume the developers want the players to have fun. But buying a stack of 100 crates for REAL money, and then having all of them contain nothing but junk, is the opposite of fun. You can’t do that to players. It’s basically a scam, or theft. The drop rates should have a decent chance to drop good stuff, even if you buy only one crate.

Thankfully for me the skins are ugly yet again and I can opt out. But I hope for the sake of others that the drop decently…

100% This. Cosmetics are optional, you don’t HAVE to get them in order to fully enjoy all the game’s content, they’re for aesthetics. If you don’t want to “grind” for something in this game, then don’t, you’ll be fine. Also, there’s a difference between “grind” and “putting forth effort”.

Hey what do you know, the dragon coffers are falling!! finally..

thx Anet.
