Guild Wars 2

Will you ever be bringing this back? I was unable to get it two years ago as my PC failed. Just wondering if you will be bringing it back ever. I did not see it last year either? I know quite a few folks that would love to get this.

Maybe it was a way they found to make candy corns have kittene after halloween, they were too many on TP on the first year event.. And as a Gobbler owner, I can tell you it becomes useless, because it consumes SO many candy corns… and you get a random buff, sometimes you don’t even get the buff you want (karma seems to be very unlikely to come).
I usually carry a stack of candy corns but most times I end up with hours of exp boost and 15 minutes of the buff I actually wanted. Not to mention that it requires the player to be out of combat.. let’s say you wanna use it during fractals.. people won’t really wait 10 minutes while you click on the Gobbler until you get the buff you want. If you get it on the first tries, consider yourself lucky lol.. You will soon get in combat (willingly or not), and won’t be able to consume it..

EDIT: I forgot to tell you it has a long cooldown for something that gives you random boost or random tonic forms.. you can’t even click fast on it until you get what you want >.>

If they bring it back :/ I hope they rework this combat idea and the amount of time on exp boost over other boosts….

Well… I can tell you I oversaw a commander in EotM last week who, when asked by a player what world rank he was, he told us something over 7100. He explained he always had perma exp buff and linked the gobbler, stating it’s a must-buy purchase because it basically makes you money.

I had never seen the item before, and neither had the others. He said it hasn’t been a halloween reward for two years and maybe they’ll bring it back this year. Since witnessing that conversation and learning of the items existance and use, my gut feeling tells me they haven’t brought it back because it trivialises some boosters (like Exp boosters) which means Anet will sell less of those and also Black Lion keys which give boosters. That’s just my guess though.

It wasn’t a reward it was a gemshop item. Sadly anet had nerfed it hard. In the beginning it gave mostly boosts, now it gives mostly transformations. :-(

Buying it when it came out, it isn’t hard to understand why its not being brought back.

Even after multiple nerfs its still pretty OP to the point it sounds broken that it even exists. A stack of candy corn can net you 1-2 hours of of the experience and item booster along with the old karma booster and combat boosts. That is kitten cheap for boosters.

I’d think this item is contradictory to the idea of selling boosters in the gem store.

This isn’t true. It’s takes about 3-6 stacks to see any kind of persistent buffs and the inventory space + planning that goes into it isnt feasible. Constant upkeep combined with rng on the buffs means youre going to spend as much time eating corn as you are farming and it takes the fun out of it. They have effectively nerfed it now and if they offered even a 25% refund I would jump at the chance.

Man maybe I am wrong but I just read what they are putting on the BLM for Halloween and this is not included. Such a bummer.
