Guild Wars 2

Ok. Account bound, RNG mini pets should not be here. I understand Anet is trying to get a middleground from the Halloween event and trying to get a comfortable medium. I bought over 30$ worth of boxes. Have nearly 10 of the inflatable flying golem mini, and 5 Christmas light golems.

Not a single mini Snowman. My friend has gotten 20+ of each minipet. He’s combined them in the forge to make the Quaggen (like I did with my extras) as well as some extra non-holiday mini pets.

So now I’ve spent my monthly “spending” money that I don’t use for my living expenses, all of my gold, and I still don’t have the mini Snowman. Tons of people have several extras. They are account bound. How is this going to be addressed?

On another note, this event was fun at first but is now slightly repetetive. Doing the jumping puzzle every day for the Karma jug, running the dungeon every day for a pet frame I won’t use.. I don’t know. I miss the scavenger hunts and quests from Guild Wars 1 that actually had you going arond the world getting stuff and doing tasks.

Getting enough materials to only create 2 of the minpets then needing to buy the rest off of the TP was kind of a jerk move too. I’d rather skip running the stupid dungeon and buy them in a pack like I did the Halloween ones.

I don’t know, does anyone else agree or am I one of the few people that doesn’t have 100s of gold to spend on an event for gems / items?

I do have to agree I wish the holiday minis where not bound in any form. This would allow players to be able to share, or sell, their excess minis so other players could collect them as well.

Thank you for replying. I understand ArenaNet is working to find a good middleground on what should be RNG, what should be farmed, bought, etc… They are doing a good job and I’ve seen some good improvements and some some things that are not so good.

I have patience and this is not a “zomg I’m quitting QQ” thread, it’s just me giving my 2 cents about the event. I still will continue to play, I am just a bit disappointed at this.
