A while back, I remember there was that event in southsun that brought chests you could open up to have a chance to get some neat stuff. It was similar to the dragon coffers from dragon bash, and I guess that event also could be taken into consideration here too. Those events brought two items, the regular chests/coffers and rich chests/coffers(I believe the southsun one had rich versions too but can’t recall), both with low chances to get the rare items from them, but rich obviously having the higher chance of the two. That’s good and all, but I believe if memory serves me right, there was people who spent hundreds of RL cash on the rich versions and because the RNG Gods were not blessing them with their almighty presence, they received diddly squat.
This is where my conversation with my friend I just had comes in. We were talking about the halloween event as I was casually looking at the gem store gem prices for cash. I remembered that someone spent $200 on the game during one of those events mentioned above and got nothing to show for it. We came up with an idea for this.
If someone is willing to spend 200, or even 100 bucks, on something like that they should receive some sort of token as a, well, token of Anet’s and NC Soft’s appreciation for supporting the game. Not just any token, but a token that is based on the event currently going on at the time. So for halloween; a Mad King Token. Wintersday would have a Wintersday Token. These tokens could be used to buy stuff during the events or possibly saved for the next year and be used for future shinies.
I understand that you guys give free stuff out to those who do just that(or at least did during the first year), but what im talking about is similar to how in the handheld games of Pokémon. In those games, you buy 10 PokéBalls, you get a free Premier ball as the stores appreciation for your business.
Also, if you are asking, “what about the time between major holiday events like halloween and wintersday?”, the answer to that could be a black lion ticket. As I recall, I have only one black lion ticket scrap and managed to get only 1 actual ticket from 6 chests. I was lucky. I don’t know what the drop rate on them are and do know that its probably really low. But hell, if someone is going to drop $200 bucks on rich coffers or chests, which don’t guarantee anything in the first place, they honestly should be given something for it.
Note: I haven’t dumped that much into the game, it was just a random thought I just had a few moments ago.
I apologize for the wall of text.
