What really blows my mind, other than what I already stated in a previous post, is that this patch completely screws over options and aesthetics in a game where the entire endgame comes down to options and aesthetics. Why turn clothing into tonics? Why block out some of the unique rewards from PVPing, especially in the same move giving them to a very select few who don’t care about using them in the PVE world and basically giving the people who were bummed about using them in the rest of the game the finger? What kind of logic is this?
Alright. I took this game really casual when I saw this armor could ONLY be obtained in PVP and, as a roleplayer on Tarnished Coast, my necromancer would never be wandering around town with it where I could actually, you know, ‘use’ it. But now the armor is literally impossible to obtain and I see no reason why that should be the case. I don’t mind it being hard to obtain, or extremely rare, or even sitting in some horribly difficult dungeon at the end of the game that makes you tear out your hair to get, but this is some fantastic armor that Anet clearly worked hard and well on, so why is it now impossible to obtain? And for those of us who didn’t go balls to the wall PVPing to get it previously, please bear in mind I don’t think anyone could predict ‘all that cool PVP loot you earned is suddenly going to be available to you in the rest of the game.’ This armor wasn’t even ‘retired,’ it was more like it barely existed to begin with, those of us interested in it, for the most part, had barely any reason to mess with the one way to get it, and voila, a slap to the face, suddenly a bare select few people waggle it around and everyone else is SOoL forever?
…Man, some things were done really well with this patch, but there’s a lot of things (thinking of certain outfits people paid an awful lot of gems to mix and match) that just really got fudged over.

…If stuff is going to become exclusive or impossible, TELL US or give us some kind of hint. If things we paid real money for are going to be broken, merged, turned into annoying tonics, or basically not be what we paid for, TELL US. Refunds are great, but you know what’s better? Knowing I have what I paid for and being happy with it. :|
