If you want this skins you can always buy them from the BLC. They are expensive? Of course, considering how rare they are. But you could get them guaranteed if you were a bit smarter and didn’t spend all money on the lottery.
About point that they are not like legendaries cause they can be done only during Halloween event: think of it like of the limited edition of some… stock. It makes them even more expensive. Why I know that they are so expensive? Because you desire them, they are pricey to you.

i agree with you what get me though is how Anet baited a lot of people. that is all

RaiderZ for a go Bob and maybe some closed beta of neverwinter.

It puts the money in other things

Everyone is focusing on not getting skins but the fact is we are not getting anything holiday related, no tonics skins pets candy ect…ect…. which leads.me to believe that something is not working quits right

this too

The gold/gem exchange rate is temporarily quite high. The drop rate of skins is abysmal.

For about 20usd or12g, if you want the chainsaw, or 5g or less for most other things, you can get any item that you want.

You don’t need to buy 200 keys or spend 50 dollars and 10 gold on keys. Just search the item you want, and buy it from a player for gold.

You’re welcome.

Also, things will probably get more expensive, as the market saturates with gems, so you may want to hurry.

items already cost more and more gems are needed for gold 100 gems for 80 silver last i checked

Guys, these are unique skins. Do you understand it? There will be no other time to get them the next whole year. It’s like legendary weapons, there has to be few of them, otherwise they will be just ordinary thing that everyone has. Their cost is defined by how much of them are available, you wouldn’t want to get that skin if everybody around will wear it, even if it looks cool. Imagine if everyone will run with chainsaws, that would be horrible!

…And I think the thread should end here. That is the point that needed to be made.

except you can try for legendary all year… so its not the same and your not baited into legendary weapons

On the page that details the event a message of:

each Black Lion Chest you open has a chance to give you one of six exclusive Halloween-themed weapon skins!

which i thought meant each chest gave a skin just the weapon type was random.

Now this is my thought wrong or not. Anet never gave any other info on drop rate. So by not doing so they have tricked many into spending real cash on gems for keys(thankfully i had some to test).

this and the confusion just turned me off playing for now. it even made me make my first post.
