I support the RNG boxes, if the skins that people wanted were added to the gem store everyone would have the same skin and that skin wouldn’t be as prestigious as it would be if it were made exclusively for RNG boxes.

Hmm, well, I personally don’t care about the perceived prestigiousness of any skin or item in any MMO.

By way of illustration, if I could have had a Tier 5 Constitution Class Cruiser in STO I would not have cared one bit if everyone else in the game had one, too. I just wanted one for myself. There are no skins or items in GW2 that I want as much as I wanted a T5 Connie, but if there were I would still not care if every other player had them.

I am with you on that and there are many players that feel the same as you, although my personal preference is knowing that I have something that not every other player may have.

I am a fan of cosmetic diversity and obviously if everyone had the same gear in their inventory that doesn’t mean everyone would wear that gear or even look remotely the same. And I don’t even play enough to have anything unique to many players, but that’s just how I feel on the subject.

The only way it is gambling is if your direct ROI is actual real world currency. In this case it is virtual items in a video game.

So you’re saying you gambled for a skin and got one? Well, it’s not my cup of tea, but congrats. It seems you folks fuel the RNG profit margin :p nevertheless, I do appreciate anyone willing to donate to anet. It’s an expenditure for great content.

Thanks for the reply, I actually haven’t bought a box and I don’t plan on it. So “folks” like me will continue playing the game and enjoying it.
