Guild Wars 2

Anyone have a clue why Plasma weapons are the only ones that remain at 1 ticket despite two newer sets being released since?

Witness:

Glittering set, added Nov 4, now 3 tickets per item
Plasma set, added Nov 17, still 1 ticket per item
Merciless set, added Dec 1, now 2 tickets per item
Timekeeper set, added Dec 15(?), 1 ticket as per usual until a new set comes along

Even the older returning Wintersday sets: Winter’s Weapons and Wintersday Weapons are 2 tickets a pop. Aside: You’d think ANet would toss in some Xmas joy and rerelease these at 1 ticket during the festival….

This boggles my head. And yes, full disclosure: I did buy some extra Plasma skins for future profit (it’s standard procedure for me and many others). However, it’s not so much that—I can afford to wait or absorb a loss—but it seems bizzarre that this one set is being treated so uncharacteristically.

Because they are hideous I guess.

Maybe the ones that sell the best are increased in price more and sooner.

Plasma weapons should be for free because they are kitten ugly.

AxialBloom/RedBaron: Yeah, I’m sure ANet makes their decisions based on that, thx.

JaFW: That’s atypical. With all the sets that have been released, it’s hard to recall, but I don’t remember any other sets staying at 1 ticket past a new set being released, regardless of reception. The recent Dwayna and Improvised sets weren’t winners, either, and judging by the current values of skins on the TP, Plasma skins are outvaluing both despite being up for 1 ticket for several more weeks than either of those were, implying they’re more popular than those.

It’s all speculation; ANet’s not going to reveal their reasons. Just figured there might be some insight to be had. Not a big deal.

They’re going straight to 5 tickets probably.
