Guild Wars 2

Well, it was a toss-up where my money was going to go: Rift or Guild Wars 2. Should I buy gems for Guild Wars 2 or should I buy credits for Rift?

I had been working on getting the full Carapace set via playing in the Silverwastes. OK, so four pieces can be purchased with bandit currency. One piece can be earned via participating in the Silverwastes events, but what about the leggings?

It turns out the only way to unlock the leggings is to purchase the Living world Season 2. Thanks for the ambush, ANet. You just decided for me where my money is going. To Rift. How many more more childish marketing ambushes can I look forward to with you? Smugly laughing it up while another player is feeling thoroughly abused? Your money-grubbing, ambush-oriented marketing strategy just failed you profoundly.

My money is going in Rift.

You could have had LS2 for free. Why didn’t you? It’s just a question.
