Anet I expected so much more from you. I have been with you from the first I bought two accounts to get more character slots before you even added the option to just buy character slots. I remember Wintersday as a happy gifts galore event. I want you to know about my most disappointing thing about Guild Wars 2. My friend and I were waiting for the day Wintersday would open, we were excited about the gifts and all the events and the decorations.

I then saw and immediately fell in love with the quaggen, called Foostivoo the Merry. As a poor stay at home mom I knew I couldn’t possibly spend any real money I would use for my kids on a toy for myself with in a toy…. so How I was excited when my friend after opening about 1000-1500 Giant Wintersday Gifts got her self a Foostivoo the Merry!!!

For the next two weeks All I did in the game was to get the Giant Wintersday Gifts. I spent all my money buying them and did events over and over just to get that one more with hope for the cute quaggen….

Today I found out by accident that it is no longer possible because you changed it. You changed the rules half way through and didn’t let me know. Me who follows you on on facebook and still logs on to Guild Wars 1 and me who always sticks up for Anet for taking care of their people. I have been cheated by my favorite game! I know it must be silly of a grown woman in my stage of life (mom of 2 and all) to be so saddened by this, but the feeling of sleazy cheap trick that was played on me has hurt.

Of all companies you were an example, but no more. I am talking about the fact that you can no longer get a quaggen out of a Giant Wintersday Gift and all the gold I spent and all the time I spent grinding, yes that’s what it was, grinding to get the Quaggen, has been for not all along.

I feel no different going back to Perfect World to spend my money on things I know will be there in what I buy without one out of million chances. I hope you might redeem yourself as you do after all events seems like, and I know the game has been out only a few month. But I thought if you didn’t know how you disappointed me you couldn’t do anything about it. Now may be you would. Live up to it Anet. Pretty Please.

I have been with you from the first I bought two accounts to get more character slots before you even added the option to just buy character slots.

Extra character slots have been available in the gem store since BWE2. So you wasted money buying 2 accounts when you could have purchased extra slots this whole time.

Everything else you said is just laughable.

Perfect World, as a company, plays the RNG bigger than any other gaming company. You even mentioning their game is ridiculous. Comparing a 7 year old crappy f2p game that is supported by a company that will, quite literally, eat your wallet and soul to guild wars is just so sad.

I believe she was talking about GW1, where many of us purchased multiple accounts as there was no option to purchase slots and there was no gem store. The rest of your reply is rude and not worth commenting on.

I am glad I decided not to go for festivoo the merry – I had intended to do exactly what OP did, and would have been wasting my time. This is exactly what update notes are for, and there’s really no excuse for making changes like this behind the scenes.

I’m sorry your struggles! The psychology of a lottery can easily take advantage of all of us. I wish you the best and hope you find a solution.

A lottery usually maintains it’s prize. Selling tickets for a prize that no longer exists without letting people know through conventually means (patch update notes) is really not cool and I feel for the OP.

Thanx hon I did mean Guild Wars 1, and thanx for understanding my unclear rant. (P.S. Thank you for sticking up for me too)

I absolutely agree about the patch notes and I kept checking on that and I have the hardest time even finding them I keep finding ones for like November. I guess I need to learn this site better.

Thank you, I’ve not even realized it, but it sure did suck me in… The only reason I came across the information is because I specifically searched “Can you get quaggen from Gift” because I noticed that I couldn’t sell something to trading post as I didn’t have enough coin to pay for the fee LOL

I guess the point of this lottery was to keep me on the game to gain gold to turn into gifts and so on… (not that I need to be kept on the game with a leash, I already am on the game a lot)
