Guild Wars 2

Today I logged int because according to some datamining on reddit, there was a possibility of a 200 gems gift for logging during game annivarsary day.

Instead I found that all my 5 characters received a b-day gift… when I already had them 3 days ago because I created them during headstart.

Was this intended or bug? I am exploiting if I use my 5 extra b-day boosters?

Was the 200 gems something that was scrapped? Can I throw my 10 mini Jennahs and 10 boosters to the Mystic Forge for 200 gems :P?

Is this happening to others that had their characters created during headstart?

Intended… Enjoy

The recent patch notes explain the additional gifts. =)

Ok I didn’t see those patch notes. It makes sense and this the easier solution.

So… then the 200 gems gift idea from the dat files was scrapped? (I would gladly give 10 mini jennahs and boosters for that :P).

How come some people get double boosters, and some don’t? That’s ridiculously unfair for something that is a huge 24 hour buff.

Well done ANet. Selectively give a few people twice what others get, and shaft the rest.

Or it could have been added in there to throw people off. I wouldn’t be surprised that Anet wised up to the dataminers and planted false info to throw people off.

I haven’t heard of anyone getting double boosters, but each character a person has receives the birthday gift. I had four B-Day presents waiting for me on Monday when I logged in because I created all four chars during headstart, so I have four Jennahs, four boosters, and four level 20 scrolls.

Only a small percentage got 2x gifts. And the advantage really is nothing OP.
