Guild Wars 2

I have opened about a 100 gifts so far of all sizes and only the medium ones nearly always give more than 1 of the collectors items.

At least 50% of the boxes I have opened have been Giant and these only ever give 1 item.

Is this as intended and are other players experiencing the same?

Disturbing if true. I’ve only gotten giant boxes as the toons I play are 80, and I’ve always gotten one ugly wool sweater per box. I was wondering how they expect us to save up hundreds of those things, unless they expect people to grind for hours every day.

Just prior to the patch I was playing with my lvl 50 toon and got about 5 medium sizes ones for the first time- every single one had 4-5 ugly items, which is what caused me to suspect it may be bugged.

Well yeah? It’s to encourage you to buy the skins and stuff on the gem store. Haven’t we gone through this before?

Sweaters/socks/hats are all around 30~50c each on TP, you don’t need to grind for hours to get enough “uglies” for the item you want.. you’re blowing it out of proportion.

The giant ones have only ever given me 1 jumper – the Mediums have given 2, that does seem abit ‘off’ ive done both ‘Dungeons 3 times and openeda few presents in the open world – many of the open ones didnt give me anything! Currently sitting on 20 ’ugly’ items – it going to take a while to get 100 maybe ive been unlucky?

Good point. Seems like I’d be better off just paying 50s for sweaters on the TP instead of playing the events. I might as well buy the skins directly, actually.

This doesn’t have any relevance to the main issue at hand though, which is the number of items in giant boxes vs lower level ones.
