Guild Wars 2

As the title says.

I would rather purchase the specific item.

I very much dislike RNG in the gem store, especially if I bought gems with real money.

If I want to play RNG, I will play the game, not purchase items and hope RNG works in my favor.

You need to plead with the people who keep on buying the rng stuff in the store, because unfortunately Anet/NCsoft/Nexon make more money from them, then they would if there was no RNG. This is Nexon’s whole business model and they are one of the top grossing MMO publisher/developers out there.

Long term or short term? I’d like GW2 to be still there in a few years from now. I don’t see those boxes as a sustainable business model on the long term.

Exactly.

Their wording made it seem like they had took proper notice and decided to massively buff up the likely hood of you getting something with Rich Coffers but of the 7 I ordered I didn’t get a thing outside of those candy food buffs you can buy with candy.

So no, I am not giving another penny to RNG products. This really feels anti-customer. I mean, they know EXACTLY why people are buying the coffers … at the very least I think that is you buy 5+ coffers you should be given consolation ticket to get a skin if you don’t get one from opening the coffers. People often time want MORE than just one skin so I see nothing wrong with a guaranteed ticket per-five rich coffers or something.

Anyway, I have learned my lesson. I didn’t touch SS because those skins look ugly and creepy to me but these jade weapons and WINGS blinded me. But now I’m crushed with the realization that nothing really changed so yeah … I’m not paying for a gamble again. I expect that there are others like me who have ether stopped playing the gem-store-gamble already or are going to decide to stop in the future … so well there may be those who want to blow their paycheck on a RNG gamble I can’t help but think that you all would catch more flies with honey than … RNG.
