As the title says, please don’t make players get stuck with their collectibles (minis, skins) that can only be gotten via random luck.

Everyone’s been saying that they don’t like your gambling chests since Halloween, so the decision to make minis account bound on top of gambling exclusives is absolutely baffling. Not only do you have to spend money on a chance again, you’re also stuck not getting anything if your luck is bad because you can’t buy from other players.

In fact, it can be frustrating even if you get the minis.

Minis are a type of collectible you really only need one of. So even assuming you have infinite cash and can keep trying until you get 3 unique minis (the 3 extras for the quaggan can be whatever, so they don’t count) there is a chance you’ll end up with, say, 3 of one mini and 4 of another mini before you get the last unique mini. So even if you spend 3 extras on quaggan you’d still have 2 of one mini… and nothing to do with the extra, since it’s account bound. You can’t gift it to anyone, you can’t sell it – nothing.

I understand the logic behind making, say, the DDE Rytlock account bound – you only get one of them. There’s no chance of ending up with duplicates. It’s accessible to everyone, they just need to pay the set amount.

But this just doesn’t make any sense. Minis are purely cosmetic collectibles. I can understand the decision of making them luck-based like in Lost Shores, but account bound?

I would keep Rytlock and the HoM Minis as account bound since one is from the Digital Deluxe and the others are earned from GW1.

The rest should be unbound.

Yeah, those make sense account bound – and they are available to everyone, even if the HoM ones take a lot of work (GW1 is still functional and the HoM minis can still be earned).

Also, I don’t want a useless, kitten mini-pet (unless it really is a kitten). Let me give that piece of kitten to a friend!

Needless to say, I support this suggestion.

I also support this.

I would also like to see the chests that you buy for these events have something non-consumable in it. After buying 10 chests and not seeing anything I wasn’t getting in game I’m very disappointed by the drop rates of permanent items.

If you could trade those items it would make getting rid of unused items for others, like me who paid, tried, and got nothing worth having.

As it stands it makes anyone who is a completionist exceptionally unhappy.

I soooo support this topic. I am one of those I guess who are in the minority who don’t like tonics…. so of course I get an Endless Mystery Tonic…. I have noticed that some Endless tonics are not account bound. If one isn’t, none of them should be.
