Guild Wars 2

I’ve come to realize that this games’s community is the most entitled and loud community I’ve ever seen.

Sure ArenaNet is handling this event much like Halloween’s, they keep the RNG in some places, but at least they are moving forward, you can get 2 toys for free by playing a dungeon each day, you can get all sorts of stuff for free apart from these toys.

They built a freaking “guitar hero”-like mini game, I’ve never seen any MMO give so much content for free. The new jumping puzzle is doable after the 2nd or 3rd attempt. The snow ball PvP is just pure awesome.

If you don’t like the offerings in the store simply don’t buy them, that’s how you vote, that’s how you are heard the best, stop coming to the forums and being so loud please, you are hurting the community, if you spent 75 bucks on gems and then find out that your money was poorly spent maybe you should have spent a little less and try out the RNG first, it’s gambling and the worst you can do is going all in at the start, wait a couple of hours or days, hear the people in local chat talking about how good/bad a box or item is.

Coming to the forums to flame on free content is plain stupid, ArenaNet knows that forum dwellers are a minority, all you are doing is reducing the credibility of the forum users as a whole, and like I said, the best way to “complain” about store items is simply not to buy them.

So to ArenaNet, thanks for Wintersday, it’s a HUGE event, I love how everything was decorated, I know this must take a lot of time to plan, implement and test, and you do it on a F2P game hoping people will buy some stuff and keep supporting the game and I appreciate how everything is done, if I had just a little suggestion is to simply drop the RNG, sell the people the items they want (they are cosmetic anyway) and just sell them at a price at which you feel comfortable, more people will get into it because it is RNG free, you get more store customers, we get more items, everyone is happy, win-win situation.

That’s the issue. People are whining from their own stupidity.
But ANet isn’t exactly advertising that the boxes are hit or miss (mostly miss).

I think selling all the stuff on the gem store might be a good move for them in the end. Especially if it is for holiday events like this. I might be bias though as I reallllly want the permanent hair style contract! I’d pay $20 for that easy. (Probably more)
