don’t you guys ever think that the drop rate is low because ANet wanted the item to be rare? If everyone got skins from every chest, and everyone was running around with halloween skinned weapons, wouldn’t you feel like it was less of an accomplishment to have one? seriously now :<

Accomplishment? What? This is a holiday, this is supposed to be everyone running around in halloween costumes and having fun, not a contest to see who can win the most gold or spend the most cash on the event.

If you wanted to run around with halloween themed items and have fun, then you would’ve spent candy corn on the skins that had a time limit on them. Or you know, do all of the other stuff in the event that allows you to run around in a halloween costume and have fun. Gambling on the Black Lion Chests is for a permanent version which people can flaunt off year round and look cool with. It makes perfect sense for the items to be rare.

“Fun” ? Yeah it might be fun if say, it lasted more than FOUR HOURS. Your time of ‘Fun’ will be obliterated as you spend it all farming for those bloody candy corns so that you might -maintain- your ‘fun’. The least that could be done is let the TEMPORARY item last a significant amount of time. Not even a 24 hour period? Not even lasting the event? I’d call that fair, but this 4 hour period is not fair for anyone, nor is it fun.
You know what would be fun? Seeing everyone running around with skins and costumes and awesome Halloween stuff that they either paid for and received guaranteed or won in a chance event for free.
