Guild Wars 2

Hello there all,

I play GW2 since the beta and I still love the game. I pretty much sinked some money in gems because Arenanet actually deserves the extra money with this game they made (I actually enjoy it quite a bit). Anyways, that is not the point.

My point is the suggestions I want to make and want to know how others are thinking about it:

We have had some new updates and themed skins now. And in my opinion the best themed update wasn’t Wintersday or Halloween. No, not even the Frost & Fire update (though it was pretty cool to do).

In my opinion SAB, was worked out the best. Kudo’s for the developers who worked on this. But why did I find it the best themed update? Because that we had the option to play SAB many times. KNOWING we would get a skin of a certain weapon of choice. Without putting money or gold in the game.

I know that this is probably something to let people buy gems for with money. In an economic standpoint I see why they do that. But in my opinion you would make the experience of your playerbase much better if there was some sort of token device which for examle, people would get by doing the achievements. You get a token for certain achievements which helped the story for example. Or when you finish events you have a chance to get a token. And for 100 tokens you can buy a weapon skin for choice.

For example, I really want a Scepter skin of this set. I bought 12 crates, no luck sadly. I have a winters weapons, a fused weapon and such. But no luck in this one sadly.

That’s what I liked about SAB. I knew I would get a skin I really wanted by playing the content you gave me. Now it’s or put money, gold in it and have some luck to get a skin.

You can still use the RNG, like SAB to let the Tickets or skins drop from the crates for the lucky people.

tl;dr
So yeah, this is my suggestion. Make a system like what happend in SAB. Where people have to work/farm/grind to get tokens for a skin. While also having the luck by getting a drop from a mob/event/achievement.

Hopefully you could implent it in the future! And would love how other players think of this.
