Guild Wars 2

Hey, I’ve been a little upset with our first Winterday since we left GW1. I really do miss the mob dropped treats/consumables and an actual “Wintersday” themed hat every year. Now it’s different. Not so much on the “Wow, I have X stacks of Candy Canes!!” or the like this year.

Convoluted collecting and choosing between which items do I want to gamble with to come away with some cool stuff is well…a drag. Full disclosure: I have not spent a cent of real $ on this game other than the purchace price. Not even the free gems we got a couple times during assorted betas/WEs. I enjoy this game. In a different way than GW1. GW1 seemed to be brimming over with free crap quite literally falling from the sky. Those days are 250 yeas gone and thats ok with me. Just still a bit let down by our innaugural Wintersday.

Until now. Thanx A Net for making an effort to patch things up. Twice during this event. We like free stuff. 1’s and 0’s given to us simply for being there. Rewards for dificult content or challenges are great too, but I think you remember the glee in towns and outposts we shared 25o years past.

I’m sticking around in hopes that as we age together in Tyria, lessons will be learned on both sides as to where we go from here. I expect to be very pleased with our first Canthan New Year when it comes around. Bear in mind Canthans would never abandon Lunar Fortunes or sparkly creature pals.
