ANet has got to understand that a delayed response via Forums and Twitter is not a good way to get the word out to people. I opened just over 100 chests, and this filled my characters inventory with mostly junk.
Depending on what items they decide are going to be “trade-ins” my lack of following them on Twitter (which I refuse to even look at on general principle) FaceBook (has there ever been a more Evil data grab in history) or anywhere else except the actual game or official forums is going to cost me a lot of money. The correct method would have been an in game pop-up notification when you went to open a chest, but even that would have probably been too late.
I might be one of the lucky ones. I kept the tonics since they stack. I have an entire row of my bank for the boosters, and I do not use any of them except the crafting ones in general. I keep and use the salvage kits… but I dang sure delete the BL gathering tools. They do not stack, so all they do is fill inventory. They are not worth carrying around because of the few uses and the fact that top tier tools are fairly cheap. And worst of all they are not even account bound, they are soulbound. So I dumped all the ones I had from before the event, and the ones I got from the event.
I am not complaining over all. I did get two dagger skins and three shoulder skins, and I knew it was gambling. I had just assumed from all the hype that the odds were much higher. Guess that is what I get for buying all the keys and unlocking all the chests before actually opening the first few. I should have done them in sets of 5 (like the keys are purchased), and then I probably would have stopped when I hit 15 and still had nothing to show for it.
