Guild Wars 2

I find it exceptionally alarming that people are reacting this way to a gambling thing. If you think you are entitled to a reward simply because you put real world money into something, then you do not understand what gambling or chance is.

You chose to put your money into it, you chose to take that risk. You are not entitled to any specific reward from that methodology. If you had paid for the Halloween mini pack and got minis that were not meant to be in there, or had less, then you’d be entitled.

I opened 80-90 chests, got 3 shoulder skins, the usual chest bits and pieces and that’s it – No weapon skins, no everlasting tonics, etc. I spent money on it, and I did not for one second think I was owed, guaranteed or entitled to a specific skin. I hoped, but I did not assume I was doing anything but taking a chance.

I think it’s disgusting to demand ANet to do something about it. Yeah, perhaps the drop rate should be a little higher, and their response about having an “alternate” method is interesting, but if they cave in fully and just give out the skins they’d be doing themselves a disservice.

It’s possible that it’s already used by an NPC. Pretty sure you can’t use NPC names. Snakebite was in GW1, so potentially another is named Snakebite in GW2.

Hi there.

I am having consistent issues with my guild and friendlist – Usernames are not showing up. Character names are when the player is logged on, but even then their actual username just shows as “…”. Also, when they are offline, most show as “…” constantly.

This is persistent across my guild and friendlist, and nobody else has reported the issue within the guild. This has been going on for a few days (a week?), and is not fixed by standing down/representing another guild, restarting, switching characters etc.

Is there a fix for this?

Thanks in advance.
