Guild Wars 2

It’s a sad Wintersday here in my home in DIvinity’s Reach. I was looking for some free gifts from ANet as they have spoiled me in the previous years, and yet no Santa decided to stop by my house.

Did Tixx kill Santa this year or did I get spoiled too much? ~confused~

There are two “sort of” freebies this month. If you buy at least 800 gems with real money you will get a green Quaggan backpack sent to you in January. If you buy at least 4000 gems with real money, you will get sent a Mini Mr. Sparkles also. Both of these items are free but require real money spent to be eligible to receive them, like the kites and the mini pets were a few months ago. They are a reward to people spending real money.

Both of these items are free but.. (SNIP)

This is a contradiction. These items cost $10.00 and $50.00. The fact that they are part of bundles with quantities of gems doesn’t mean you’re not paying cash for them. The only way to get them is to spend $10.00 or $50.00 respectively.

What happened to the free hats? We got hats for Halloween and Wintersday last year how come we didn’t get anything this year?

There was a hat for Halloween (and one this year as well, though it was a mask instead), but I don’t remember getting one for Wintersday. There was one shortly after Wintersday, some sort of generic wizard hat, but I don’t remember anything for Wintersday itself.

Do the bonus items via gems come from spending gems or buying gems?

Buying. Gems obtained with Gold don’t count, and Gems obtained before this time window don’t count. Only exchanging Cash for Gems this month counts.

Priceless response.

Lets wait for the 25th. maybe then since it is chrismas. XD

Well they ARE free, since you don’t spend any gems on them and get them as a bonus.

last year they had a santa hat in the gem store for 25 gems

It isn’t Christmas just yet. Let’s wait and see

A-Net usually gives the presents on Wintersday, not Christmas. Wait for January 1
