Guild Wars 2

While all other worth-while Halloween stuff is removed; clocktower, dungeon, etc that actually give you a chance at looting something Halloween themed, there are still the Halloween items up for sale in the gem store that don’t do much or rather a very slim chance of doing much(Black Lion keys i’m looking at you).

But hell, they’ll still take your money from worthless gemstore related Halloween items. “For sale only during the Halloween season” mind you… So what is it, are we still in the buying season of Halloween but not the looting season of Halloween anymore???

Anet, whats the deal here? I’m starting to feel like all you want from me is my money.

Oh also, I loved how October ended early according to you guys, monthly achievement-wise. That deserves another well earned hat tip /tiphat

uh just don’t buy them? lol. I’m glad they are still up, I got the game pretty late and still managed to snag some bad kitten holloween weapon skins from those chests

well good for you, must be one of the “lucky” ones, I wasn’t aware that I had to be lucky like you or spend 100’s of dollars to get some halloween skins in a video game..

it’s a lottery. when you bet in the lottery, do you complain that you have to spend thousands of dollars to win? no.

you buy one, maybe two, try your luck, and move on.

Of course they want your money. It’s a business that requires money to run.

The important there here is that you don’t have to give them any if you don’t want to. So why complain like you’re being charged a monthly fee?

Its how no sub fee games generate extra income, f2p or b2p. Additional stuff is available via gambling, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game without a sub that wouldn’t be pure pay to win that didn’t have some sort of random “spend $$$ for a chance for unique looking stuff” element to it.

Don’t want it? Don’t play.

I see no issue here with Anet have Halloween gem shop items being sold for a few days more after Halloween has ended, especially since Anet told us this was going to be the case very much in advance. It’s not like they were being malicious, seeing that they didn’t earn enough in-game shop sales and then spontaneously extended the selling period for more money.

The important thing also here is that like me, the hundreds possibly thousands that feel like they wasted money on nothing will possibly never spend money in the store again, and why should we throw money away? If Anet likes money so much as you claim, maybe they start thinking of ways to sustain multiple transactions out of people over a longer period of time rather than a single use scam that will make ppl turned off to buying ever again..

Gee, I didn’t know that celebrating Halloween with some cool looking gear was only for the select few. Guess I should start saving right now in my little piggy bank so I can have a chance at winning a candy cane for Xmas…
