Latest patch changed the gifts system?
They contain the same types of items. Only difference is, that you get the low tier versions of snow flakes as well as the low level variants of the recipes and runes.
Anet why do you keep screwing over your players with a drop-based crafting system that intentionally doesn’t drop the mats? Four months and I still don’t have enough claws and teeth to level my tailoring. I could have FINALLY made it to silk tier, and maybe finally make something that’s not autovendored, with snowflakes but all you give me are useless giant gifts. I’m here in Gendarran Fields killing level 20 mobs and getting giant, giant, giant. Use the TP? I want to earn my ranks. AND YOU WON’T LET ME. I need unique snowflakes, not pristine snowflakes, and certainly not FLAWLESS snowflakes. Tixx, if you can find a group, takes 10 times longer. Trading in socks? 10 times longer. I’m in a low zone, just give me gift I’m there for.
