Guild Wars 2

I tried to get a black lion weapon skin that is unfortunately not available on tp and the cost is 5 claim tickets. Considering the cost of the keys, the number of skins available and the claim tickets drop rate, 5 tickets is really too high for each weapon skin when there are about 200 available with more still coming.

Will there be a significant adjustment to the tickets drop rate (30% with no ticket scraps) or a drop in the price for keys. As it stands now, i know for sure if i can somehow get the skin i want (that isn’t in the TP), I will never buy another black lion key again.

I am aware of key farming and 1 key every 15-25 mins is a horrendously boring waste of time.

The reason old black lion skins are 5 tickets is to maintain exclusivity without completely removing the possibility of obtaining them. I don’t think Anet ever intended you to be able to collect every single item skin in the entire game.

I can understand that, but there are so many skins and there are most certainly going to be more. I may decide to swap to different skins in future, so does that mean the $200 plus i spend on this one would be a waste? If they wanted exclusivity, they can set it as a reward on a hard achievement, so people see them as symbols of effort, instead of going “Oh that player has money to burn”
