While I understand that this event was thoroughly advertised as a one time thing, I have to express my intense distaste for the potentially extremely profitable and beneficial rewards that were NOT advertised. I chose to not participate in this event because of my religion, I won’t go into that much, suffice it to say this practice has never been detrimental in the past. Now, because of my choice to not play today, I have been hindered and put behind anyone else who was able to participate/loot the chest. I will never be able to receive a 20 slot bag for simply participating in an event, participating is the key word as you didn’t need to do much more than kill a few enemies in each event. Nor will I be able to have the opportunity to have a sure chance at receiving exotic and rare items, with an increased chance at receiving Legendary precursors from the chest. I have been behind ArenaNet with almost every decision up until this point, but I am extremely disappointed with how they handled the rewards. I participated in both events prior to today’s, trying to do everything available with the expectation that I might receive something in return, yet, as a result of my missing one of three events, I will receive absolutely nothing except for some experience, karma, and a couple silver from the events I could complete. Previous special events from this game or its predecessor, none of which have been one time, have only ever resulted in cosmetic rewards, which would lead me to feel no need to participate in this event. It appears that I was wrong to think that would occur.
How to rectify this? At least give us the opportunity to participate in something: an event, a scavenger hunt, anything. Just something that would permit the player who did not participate in today’s finale to receive even the 20 slot bag, but preferably a bag along with an exotic and rare, or even just the chance for an exotic or rare.
