Guild Wars 2

I see that prior year Wintersday gifts were changed to ‘Dusty’ gifts – anyone know what the purpose of this change was?

The new ones contain new/different drops, which could have a higher worth than the old ones. So my guess is to make sure that the new gift economy isn’t affected by the old one.

There used to be several differnt kinds of wintersday gift. From tiny to giant, then personalized and other kinds.

Now there’s just one type, and the old ones got renamed. Now using the old ones create new ones.

What’s confusing though is when I double-clicked my old Dusty Giant gifts and created the new gift, it stacks with this year’s gifts – which makes me think the drops would be the same as this year’s gifts.

I might be wrong about that, but it just seemed strange that the old/new gifts would stack with each other if the drops are different.

Ah ok, this makes sense. Thanks!
