Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone:)
So with Pink day in LA coming up on 22 of October and with its focus on cancer, I thought of an idea for next years Pink Day in LA (since it’s a bit late now).
Everyone likes backpacks and they are one of the things that stand out the most in-game.
The fight against cancer has the symbol of a pink ribbon, so I thought it could be amazing if Arena-net made a big Pink Ribbon Backpack (maybe in the style of the Shadow Assassin outfits robes, but more fluffy) and that it would be sold in the Gemstore on Pink Day in LA, where x amount of the money would go to fighting cancer.
Having this in the store would not only get people who might not have intended to donate to participate, but it would also be something that would stand out for the rest of the year and spread awareness about the subject.

And just fyi I have no part in organizing this event, I just got an idea and wanted to share<3

I like the idea of Anet making an item for Pink Day.

In GW1 they made a special pink dye. Although that was partially because GW1 had a wonderful but complicated dye system – there were only a few dyes and you had to combine them to make other colours – so pink was quite a tricky and expensive colour to get. And then you had to re-buy your old dyes afterwards.

But if I remember correctly from similar topics in the past there are some legal issues with them donating money from gem store sales. So it might be better to offer the items in-game and encourage players to donate if they choose to.

I like the idea, but how could you limit sales to cash rather than gold-to-gems? Or is that possible now, with buying HoT on the store?

@Danikat, that would be sad if they can’t:( But sending it in the mail with info about the event could also be smart.
@DeanBB, I guess they could see how many of them sold and then donate the cash amount equal to the amount sold, as the gold to gem is still money earned:b
