Guild Wars 2

I got excited when I first saw the gear boxes, because from the name, I hoped it would be like in GW1 where you have profession specific gear with their own unique look that no other profession could have.
Though now, I am in doubt and do not dare to spend my Laurels on a box, since I have seen talk about the boxes just containing weapons and armor class (light, medium, heavy) that your profession can use and no new skins at all.

Does anyone know what is really in the boxes?

Most people won’t get their 5th laurel until tomorrow, so after that there will probably be lots of reports (read: complaints) about the contents. Some lucky may have the chance to buy today, so maybe there will be some more information on this soon.

This is something I am planning on spending my bay leaves on, so I am curious too.

I believe a lot of people in Europe should have 5 Laurels by now, or later tonight. Got mine in the middle of the night when the Daily reset, so I am just trying to keep myself from buying until I know for sure. XD Of course, I could just buy a box myself and find out, but I really do not want to waste the Laurels since they are not gained that quickly and if there is no new looking gear in the boxes, I have other things to save for.

Just to add some info without starting a new thread: I opened a Warrior’s box on my 80 warrior (not sure if class/level matters) and got some generic level 80 rare boots worth about 37s, and an exotic 80 shield called Kryta’s Embrace, worth about 4 gold.

My level 80 guardian’s box contained rare leggings and a rare shield. I sold them on the trading post for about 55 silver total. I’m curious to know if other people’s gear had stats that seemed to skew them towards a certain playstyle (my two pieces had seemingly healer-friendly properties).
