Giftbox RNG

I’m a bit surprised no one mentions that you are nearly guaranteed a mini if you participate in the dungeon a couple times… Not to mention it looks like you can then buy the mini for gems too (at least the ventari)
I understand that the rare ones from the box are awesome, but I found the drop rate rather high (even for RNG). Part of me can’t believe the people saying they opened over 30 and didn’t get one (by 30, I already had multiples of all of them except the lightbulb golem, and I’m normally not that lucky)… But that’s the RNG…
Unfortunately what can you do if you want to keep an item with any resemblance to a rarer item…? You can’t win… And apparently even if you put them in as extra treats (again, there are several non-RNG minis)… Still can’t win.
Just curious – can you use 3 of the toy makers minis to make the quaggan?

Feel free to add me. Be extremely happy to find a group to run some with. Need the tokens for the Gift/Legendary… Not having any luck finding a group. Kinda sad… Hope more people start running this soon.

Positives:
- Phase 3 was the first time I’ve ever felt like I was playing a (cooperative) Massively Multiplayer game while playing an MMO (not including events that end betas).
- Loot reward saved me 10g getting a 20 slot bag and gave me a nice accessory to pass around my account – both themed for the event.
- Encouraged the community to work together.
- Good progression, getting people interested and luring them in – such as the dead whales on the beach before it even started ;-) .

Negatives:
- Lag and invisible mobs (though considering the scope, it met my expectations and was acceptable, granted I did not disconnect – sorry to all those who did :-( ).
- Exotic loot was dulled by the mass-spam of Precursors in map chat (3g worth of armor with easily obtained skins that I can’t even use vs 200+g extremely rare items that I could have used)
- Story didn’t feel urgent and connected to other events in the world currently.

Hope ANet learns the restrictions of their game, what the majority of players want and continues to make quality events like this.
