Guild Wars 2

So after the latest Wintersday update tonight, we all received a new mail message from Toymaker Tixx giving us a free gift package. It contained all the items a lot of people were missing out on due to a glitch involving the NPC/chest in Lion’s Arch’s Grand Piazza.

Last month after the Lost Shores event, a similar reimbursement was made for players who disconnected during the fight with the Ancient Karka, granting us all a free Ancient Karka Shell Box and accessory.

I was wondering, for those people who missed out on the free 10 Slot Trick-or-Treat Bag item from Ascent into Madness dungeon… Are you guys planning on granting us all free versions of those, too? I never received that one… You granted everyone free Witch Hats for that exact reason. Any chance that’s in the works, as well?

I can see ANet compensating you for disconnecting due to their server problems, but why the heck would they be compensating you for your local weather?

That’s just bad luck.

It’d be like if I asked for compensation because my dog is chewing through the internet cords. Oh shi-

The hurricane that struck New York left entire neighborhoods flooded and people were without power for weeks. It’s the reason they left the fake “Mad King Thorn” NPC that handed out free Witch Hats up in Lion’s Arch for almost a month after Halloween ended.

They felt it was fair to provide that event reward for the exact same reason I’m proposing they compensate us the bag, as well.

(Also, all the Halloween rewards should be made account-bound, imo, rather than soulbound… but that’s another topic that I think is already being discussed elsewhere.)
