So with the patch coming…I am hearing that there are 4 new weapon skins also dropping on the same day on the gem store.
“Bust out your gem cards and grab your gold, because the Black Lion Trading Company has some exciting new goodies to sell you! Whether you’re looking to add to your plush backpack collection, or just want to channel your inner-mole with the Sonic Tunneling Toy you’ll never want to leave town to use any of the four new weapon skins that will be available for a limited time. Yes, you can finally wear Rox’s quiver. Rangers rejoice!” – GW2Guru
From that, it makes me think we are getting:
New Plush Backpack
Sonic Tunneling Toy
Rox’s Quiver (pic in the attachments)
3 more Weapon Skins
Toy and another Plush backback omg stop please !!!! The quiver looks amazing more things like that!! LESS things like kittenning quaggans…Please ArenaNet treat GW2 like MMO not like virtual toy shop for kids

They put out what sells. As always we vote with our wallets and plushies won.

Just the other day I saw a norn or charr warrior with big, bulky, spikey full plate armor and some small plush teddy bear looking back item. It was quite sad.

I believe you mean “awesome.”
Also, that quiver looks so awesome it might make me no longer care about getting a rifle for my Thief
So Rangers finally get a Quiver outside of Fractals, and it is tossed in the gem store? Yay…
I know it’s bullkitten, is it so hard for them to put it guild merchant tab or laurel shop? it’s kittening frustrating dealing with this kitten when ranger should have get it by default.
This bothers me for one reason. Some people cant afford to pay for gems with real money or have the money to convert in game gold to gems. Thus they bought the game knowing that it was going to be free and that you can obtain everything without paying a dime. It just takes longer. NOW Anet is just putting a lot of crap into BL chests that people want. Fused weapon skins are a big example of this.. They are out to line there pockets and i don’t think it is fair to the rest of us. Yes we can eventually get it but for some this is seen as not fair and will cause some people to steer away from GW2. I really think there should be another way to get these skins rather than just the GEM STORE. especially when the price of gold to gems goes threw the freakin roof!

That’s just stingy; how do you expect them to make money from this game? There’s no subscription, no expansions. Compared to almost every other MMO out there, the cash grab in this game is mild as hell. Literally the only underhanded method they use is the Black Lion Chest. They even allow you to trade Gold for Gems, which I’ve never seen before.
Hell, I’ve seen plenty of subscription based MMOs that abuse the cash shop more than this game.
You’re whining about a cosmetic item costing money? Try playing when you have to pay real money to use the chat, have more than a single inventory bag, go through dungeons, join a guild, or level at an acceptable rate.
If they don’t make money off this game, it doesn’t get updates. It if did poorly enough the whole thing would get shut down.

As a Charr warrior, I take pride in my plushie backpack.

EQ1 has a F2P option, Sub model (can be bought with in game currency so you never spend a dime if you want the gold account) and in their store you buy whatever weapon skin you want without pulling a slot reel.
That game came out at the end of 90s a sub only game and can make a cash shop where you can buy everything you want with in game currency without gambling and play for free now.
So why can’t Anet do this again with a new game? Because EQ sure as hell isn’t selling 3 million copies any time soon.

Took me 5 minutes to look up that game’s subscription model.
If you don’t pay $15 a month like so many other MMOs, you have limited access to character abilities, you have limited access to equipment, you cannot send any mail, you miss out on “Loyalty Rewards”, you have limited “Mercenary Tiers,” whatever that is, you can’t access a Guild Hall, you can’t create your own guild, you have limited access to the “Broker System,” you have limited chat access, you cannot access the “Progression Server,” you cannot contact Customer Support, and you get in-game advertising.
Real great model.

Grats on not reading literally anything I typed. Everything you listed can be gotten in game WITH IN GAME CURRENCY.
There I used caps this time. Read. Don’t tell me it isn’t true when I currently play the kitten game and don’t spend a dime on it and I have a gold subscription that was bought with in game currency, not $15 US.

Or how about GW1. I stopped playing before Eye of the North but I’m pretty sure the model was to simply have a game that was buy then play. This game doesn’t have expansions yet but it will and we will have to pay for them.
I forgot the times when devs were actually adding new skins to end game and not a kittening gem store…
Sadly, the gem store has kinda become the end-game for me. The exchange rate might be awful, but at least buying with gold=play your way. More than I can say for any of the other reward schemes.
Sick, more limited time only stuff. Cash grab much? :/
Let me combat in my town clothes and I’ll give you money… otherwise no, especially not when you put ‘limited time only’ things in the gem store. Just ew.
