Why would ANet string along a sale for over near-month period? And release new items or rare re-released items over that time? Could it be to draw people into logging and buying those items? Draw some of those players back? Anyone who thinks the population is as healthy as it was last year is just not paying attention.

I’m no Sherlock Holmes, but in the real world we call that common sense and observation. Don’t know why that’s suddenly a ‘conspiracy’ theory, but far be it from me to tell anyone to otherwise.

It’s a conspiracy theory when you manufacture evidence to try to prove a point. Yes there’s been a downturn, like there is in every single MMO I’ve ever been in before an expansion is launched. But you’re making it sound dire when the actual profit reports don’t show it as dire.

In fact, the evidence you’re sighting is your own experience and observation, and a sale that has occurred each and every year.

When I read your posts all I see is I’m mad at Anet so it’s not doing well and most people agree with my point of view.

I don’t think it’s true.

The ONLY major difference between this and previous Anniversary Sales is it’s length. The first two ran 10 days each from Friday to a Monday. This year it’s 21 days.

That may be due to the number of things they could rotate back into the shop or providing a longer opportunity for new players to pick up limited available items/skins. It could also be in response to those who go to PAX and miss out.

What some who spin the tail about boosting their login metrics seem to ignore is unlike the month of one day sales we had one time, anniversary sales are cumulative so the last day of the sale everything they ever discounted, introduced or returned during the sale will be there.

The reason they want players to log in daily to check is the hope they see something the day and impulse buy. Those sales will drain their gold and gems with the hope that when something comes out later those now gold/gem poor players will drop some real money on gems.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

Where is the discount though? I see full priced Caithe and Kasmeer weapons. That isn’t a discount.

Commas people, it’s discounts, returning items and new items. All three will be part of the sale but we aren’t getting all three every day.
