I just find it almost annoying how Anet keeps adding things into the gem store as opposed to adding them to be obtainable in game. We all are aware of the lack of end game content really, so the end game is basically cosmetic. And also we are kind of in a drought because of HoT. Instead of adding all these new skins and mini pets, why not make them drop from something? Give some of us player who don’t want to spend money some new things to go for. The mini bear added today, why not add it to the drop tables of bears? Or for any of the other gem store minis that have a correlation with in-game mobs. Daydreamers back piece? Why not make that a craftable one? Balthazar weapons? Why not add those to the drop tables of Balthazar in the Arah path and give life to that path for a little bit. The list goes on and on with how just simply adding things to drop tables or make them craftable will add so much more content for players to play while waiting for HoT. I can understand they need to make money but when things are constantly being added to the gem store and nothing being added in game, it’s a bit frustrating. Anyone else feel the same?
I don’t mind the prices in gem store for this game, and they are cosmetic and not powercreep like stuff in star trek online. Over there were 3 factions, you could buy a pack of 3 ships for one faction (essentially ships play like a class template for half of the game content, space and ground) and they were $60.
