Guild Wars 2

so are the ornaments and the orphan’s letter going to be used in later wintersday events? theyre really taking up room in my inventory and i wanna know if its ok to delete them :P

I’m putting the ornaments on alts, but that’s me. I tend to be a hoarder.

i salvaged mine and got several ectos

The ornaments hold the souls of orphans, each time you salvage one it kitten s them to the depths of hell.

I would like to see for the next Winterday that we cpould use these ornaments in some new Mystic Forge Recipes to refine those rare items into ascended versions.

As rare items, they are totally useless and of absolutely no value for the player.
But if the player could turn these ornaments next wintersday into some useful unique ascended acessoires, thenthat stuff would be very useful…

So you want to hang onto them for a whole year? In my experience with hanging onto junk for a year, ANet doesn’t pay attention to this stuff, forgets about it, and ultimately ignores that is was a thing by the time the event comes around again.

I hanged on multiple years (like really many other people too) also with the very first wintersday stuff (cogs, mini pet frames etc) and got rewarded by it by being able to make use of that stuff every follow up wintersday ..

So why not should ANet reward players for keeping those ornaments to improve them later on futurous wintersday, being able to get this way then unique useful items as some kind of long term reward for being patient and believing into Anet that they turn some things from older events into useful items later, which seem to be useless on first look??

The second winterday I was able to make from those frames another wintersday minipet.
Last year’s wintersday I was able to make use of all my remaining cogs ect. for some free Wintersday Gifts, which I wouldn’t have received, if I would have deleted most lilely like you instantly all those old wintersday items that you seem to look at as “junk” right at the moment, when the events end.
I had not to buy any of them from TP, just to get them all.
Due to doign all the Meta Achievements, collectign all the frames and keeping also those, which I couldnt make use off at the first yeasr, I was able to get all Minis without having to buy one from TP or having most likely to wait another year now on it just to get all.
So hanging on items can be good for someone.

I play GW2 with the golden RPG rule number 1 in my mind:

Never throw something away, it might become useful especially somewhen later at a moment of time, where you might already have forgotten that you even own that item.
Throw things only away, if the Game Developer officially says, that something can be safely thrown away as they have no intentions of making anything out of these items anymore. Or when you have instead of something already so incredibly much, that you don’t know anymore where to put it away and you need to make free space for something else, where you know, that you can get that thrown away stuff back quickly again, if needed like cough stacks of Bloodstone Dust, Dragonite Ore or Empyreal Fragments.

I have also since it found its way into the game that Polla Doll, just because its unique, and it could be turned by Anet at any given time through a new Mystic Forge Recipe maybe some day into a unique useful first 4 Stat celestial like accessoire, if ANet would let us upgrade that doll into ascended status, what I would find really awesome and rewarding therefore, that you kept such a unique item over a long time in the hope, that ANet might improve somewhen later its usefulness giving all those, that kept the item something more unique, cause everyone, which saw in that item only “junk” and deleted it, won’t have then anymore the chance to get that unique and then useful item and will mostly likely be seen then here in the forums QQing over that they can’t get that item again and how unfair the world is suddenly…. and how Anet could dare to improve some of their items significantly, into which many players saw into earlier just “junk”.
