Guild Wars 2

This event was a really bad idea just had someone link in my map they have 2 portals, so Anet how do you expect to get the amount in if there are people getting more than one as a drop.

YEEAAA
I honestly just wanted the materials, now I feel like if I stay I’m ruining someone else’s luck

What does it matter? Are you under the impression that they released a set amount of them? That would be dumb of them to do at random for the exact reason you pointed out. If someone gets 2, whatever, your chances of getting one haven’t changed assuming there is no cap on how many will be allowed in game, which logically would make sense.

saw someone link a 17 stack of portals like really Anet

Does getting a second (or 17th) one still trigger the in-game mail? If not, then it’s just easier for them to put a vendorable item on the loot table in case folks get extra, but the account only gets one invite.

People can make chat codes for things that don’t exist. I’ve seen link to a stack of Legendary Greatswords, where the stack was greater than 250. Or where it’s one item and it’s named something else, such as a masterwork Legendary.
