Guild Wars 2

So last night I join in on a Jormag kill – which was maybe the fifth world boss I’ve done since the last patch (haven’t been playing much), and what drops? An Ascended Weapon box.

Delighted with my new Ascended sword, I join a Scarlet invasion that just kicked off. First portal event? A mob drops a Black Lion Key – the first I have ever seen drop from a mob in more than 500 hours /age played.

After the event, I’m back in town and I use the key to open a chest. Inside? A full Black Lion Claim Ticket.

What do you reckon? Buy a lottery ticket? Or have I used all my luck for a long time?

Congratulations. That is quite the run of luck! =)

I wouldn’t tempt fate. You may purchase a winning lottery ticket but you may also die in a fiery automobile accident on the way back from the convenience store. Karma is a fickle mistress.

I advice to get your tin foil hats in handy because Im about to drop a good one

Perhaps you havent played very often lately? Also, you are already mentioned that that was your 5th time doing a big boss, in about a year since release….. maybe, just maybe, it is because of that…

nah, Anet is a respectable company I doubt they would do something like that…..would they?

i didn’t play for months but it seems like i have a permanent DR buff.

What increase chance of rewards the longer you have been gone? It is possible. Could DR be broken and that is what is hurting us all along.

I havent played since 1 week after launch, i came back two weeks ago and have only got terrible drops.

No, I’ve been playing the same amount as I have for the last couple of months. By “haven’t been playing much” I just meant I haven’t been farming every world boss every day like most people seem to.

And it was the 5th time doing a big boss since the SAB patch a week ago that added ascended weapons to the loot table, not the 5th time since release! :-)

No it’s a complete scam. Your luck was probably a rigged chest by Anet. To lure you into buying keys later.
