How about some Black Lion Gifts we can send to our friends that are esentially Unlocked Black Lion Chests. Maybe with some extra Holiday Rares too? Tell me what you think.
This is the best thing ever AXAXAXAXAXAXAXA I’m laughing so hard right know xD
Funny how the cultural T3 high-horses are getting away with everything. They are the ones that caused us, the skin owners, to be unhappy and rage in the first place. They are the hypocrites that started cursing Anet from the shadows of this forum while we were enjoying the skin with no worries of what was to come. We are being judged as greedy yet the T3 owners were demanding their 120* gold back in the first day of it’s release and claimed Anet to never purchase the gems they actually never purchased (again) or will never purchase. The T3 high-horses should be the ones blamed for all of this yet all that’s left is the smile on their face having done themselves this immense pleasure of saving the Gem Store from the evil plot of Anet to make their hard worked armors worthless by selling reskins and getting rich. Yet in all their hypocrisy now they shout and think of ways to improve their culturals with the model of the skin they wanted removed, the skin they never bought. They want back the skin for themselves after it was removed by themselves, isn’t it delicious? And even more hypocrisy comes from all their posts of kindness towards Anet and their need to make money with these new upgrades and of how much RWM they would pay on gems to see these upgrades for their culturals. Good Job Community. Punish the people that SUPPORTED the company and let hypocrisy FLOURISH.
(*120 gold which in games like LoL would be the equivalent of Ip vs Riot Points, it wouldn’t have any real value in gems had it not been for the conversion system set up by Anet. There are ways to “convert” Riot points which are esentially RWM into ip but there is no vice versa and people don’t even try to do so because it just doesn’t count. RP >IP and Gems should be > Gold.)
Yeah sure guys! We wasted our gems…ehm…correction, the guys with original T3 wasted our gems and RWM so they could get their own particles for free. Gj! Yeah, that’s right, remove flamekiss from the s***ers that bought it but bring it back for free for the good guys with original T3, the royalties of GW2. Let’s make new spell effects for Commanders too! They even get their free personally customized Finisher because they paid 100g, but oh no, they are still commanders…for life… we should give them our eternal gratitude because they paid 100g for others and not themselves..such kidness and lack of selfishness.
I did +1 to this post only because I have the money to buy the original T3 anytime and it still remains a good idea for everyone, both future and current T3 owner. However I will never forget what a crowd of whiners can do. Royalty Whiners.
The Complaint: I’ve spent 38 laurels for my flamekissed (along with all my valuable collectibles from the bank), that’s 28 days of dailyes and a monthly + almost sold one of my 3 rare skins. I bought a new 3 piece cof set worth of 1000 flame legion tokens and reskinned on top of an existing armor (boots, helm and gloves) and added a whole set of runes to it (not extremely expensive but still, as a player who plays every now and then, who struggles for one gold a day it’s rather unfair. My time spent in game after “a year” of gw2 consists of a daily and after several dailyes a rush to finish the monthly.
So what should I expect from this? An update to my flamkissed that will make the original cultural T3 owners wish they did shut their mouth.
What I know will truly happen? I know deep inside ArenaNet will fail the expectations I have for the update. This skin came as a divine blessing after months of trying to figure out a way to get cultural without going completely broke (and destroy my real life after risking to fail my exams). I know what I’ll get in exchange is a Jester Skin, a joke. And as others have pointed out before: No, the gems refund is not enough. You can’t wipe the memories. I will always remember this armor as the best light armor in gw2. Ripping that from me isn’t worth 800 gems nor a million. Owning this armor is as priceless to me as it was for a player who owns the original T3 from back in the day the flamekissed didn’t exist. I share equal compassion for those who got tricked by ANET with the release of the armor, whether it’s the Vintage or New owners but I wouldn’t want to see it all go to waste.
Important: Before I go on I must state that SOME people care so little about their culturals that they actually salvage them. So don’t tell me how much you love them and how much time you’ve spent working on a now salvaged set that you threw away for cheap money for a legendary. Don’t act as if you are part of this, waiting for a new free armor to drop from the sky cuz you regret salvaging yours. And don’t be greedy. This has nothing to do with the ones who actually wear the armor every day and represents to them their best look.
My solution? There is no good solution. For some reasons:
1. Greed: The more people think about the opportunity of making ANET do what they want, the more the people will profit. I agree that all 3 sets are cheap remodels, but I do not agree with the players asking for a rework of all 3 of them. I too want to see ANET release better armor sets in the future and yes, the ones released until now were either lazy or they lacked the fantasy and creativity. (Or perhaps we can’t imagine how hard it is to actually be a game designer/developer?)
2. Three-sided: They won’t be able to satisfy us all. This is in human nature. (yes three, now two, there’s Vintage owners, Flame-Kissed owners and eventually the ones that i.e. didn’t get to buy any of them or made some mistake and didn’t get one of them in time.)
3. Vanity.
4. The gw2 “Purists”, also known as players that play an excessive amount. The hardcores, for short.
What I think could be closest to satisfying the majority:
1. Keep the armor in game and allow access to it for free for people who own the Vintage T3 and the current Flame-Kissed Owners, regardless of race. The rest have to show the coin.
2. Add a new T3 amor for humans that will be accesible yet again for free by only the Vintage T3 owners (by letting them trade-in their old cultural) and purchasable with gold by the rest of the players. (Same price as other culturals). Basically reinvent the cultural while keeping it fair for the owners who maybe like the old model or for the ones who want to keep the flame-kissed. Either way, most people will be pleased. Both old, lucky and new. This method would require creating a new armor from 0. A better armor, something not cheap nor lazy that would restore grace to the current cultural owners.
Note: This might seem like I am trying to shift the potential failure on updating the Flame-Kissed onto the Original but I think the pressure will be higher on ANET to work infinitely more for it since the majority of the players involved own the original. Also, this time, and from now on, they should ask us how to get it done. Step by step. How? Simple. Show us the armor in different steps of development and what alternatives we have and put up a voting system, a simple 5 star rating. Just break down the armor into all it’s components and starting from the gloves, show us 2-3 models of gloves we can vote for and so on until a set is completed that was made piece by piece for the playerbase.
With much love for both those who agree and disagree,
