Guild Wars 2

This is from the Secret of Southsun page:

New Items in the Gem Store!

Swim faster than a krait with our new Consortium Swim Booster, pick up a baby moa mini to keep you company on the beach, and crack open the brand new Southsun Supply Crate!

From the Dragon Bash page

Dragon Coffer

This special reward chest, which drops only during Dragon Bash, is packed with treats and a chance for fireworks, a hologram minion mini, and Dragon’s Jade weapon skins!

Dragon’s Jade Weapon Skins

Show your Dragon Bash spirit with these cool new weapon skins with a distinctly draconic look. You can find weapon tickets inside Rich Dragon Coffers and (rarely) in Dragon Coffers, and exchange them for weapon skins from Black Lion Weapon Specialists in every major city!

Read that page again.. very… carefully.

I have no idea where you guys can read that you can buy them in the Gem Store. It seems that they only drop at this point. In my experience I read this as:

- They only drop when Dragon Bash is happening.
- You have a chance that a Rich Coffer drops.. which certainly drops a ticket.

Look I am not sure this is what is happening. And I hope that I am right and you guys are all wrong. But I have red those pages a few times and how it is stated on the page is that those items aren’t going to be sold at all.

I think that it’s a result of the SS boxes and just natural assumption based on them wanting money.

Basically, they wont make any money on these if you can’t BUY them on the GS right?
And the SS boxes could drop in the game to as well as being on the GS.
Sooo if they wanna make money on this one would assume that you can buy the coffers on the GS.

But I haven’t read everything there is to read on the topic of this Dragon event so hopefully someone else can take it from here.

Well in my honesty I suspect that the Rich Dragon Coffers can be bought with a great chance of getting a ticket. Or maybe even 100% chance getting a ticket. Which would be alright in my opinion. If I can get at least one ticket and then have a chance to get more and still have the chance to get a mini why not?

I would wait. It only says you “can” find weapon tickets and further tells you that you also “can” find them in the other coffers that drop in the world, but of course that chance is way slimmer.

If the chance would be 100% there would be no need for a “can” – it would say:
You find weapon tickets inside Rich Dragon Coffers and (rarely) in Dragon Coffers.

Well, that’s my take on it. I’ll wait for the biased reports here on the forum so I can make my biased decision.
