And to the person who is trying to troll me, I never reposted the same post. All my posts are unique with different points and words used in all of them, no spam here.
You keep posting this over and over in every one of the threads you keep making that are getting deleted:
I only come to this forum to answer questions. I am never rude unduly to anyone.
You want to ban me from the forum, go for it. It’s our community, I am helping other players.
More tact and diligence needs to be applied before you delete posts.
I never see any moderator take time to answer a beginners question, or a struggling players question. Ban/Delete the posts of players who are answering and helping and all you will have left is ..well.
So don’t give me this “I don’t repost the same post” business, when you clearly do.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Seriously, just stop.
You keep making thread after thread about this, and it keeps getting deleted. Obsessive much?
Move on. Your post got deleted, big deal. People’s posts get deleted all the time. It is Anet’s forums, they can delete them if they feel they are not contributing or being constructive or friendly.
Making thread after thread to complain about it does not help. It just gets you more infractions, deleted threads, and leads to a ban.
Seriously, let it go and move on already.
- * *FANBOY ALERT * * *
If you’ve read my posts, you would know I am far from a fanboy.
OP had a post deleted. So he raged about it by making a thread about moderation and infractions, which in turn will get his thread deleted. And it did.
So he did it again. Made yet another thread with the same thing and it got deleted again. But that wasn’t enough for him, no, he had to do it again. So he makes yet another thread about the same thing with the same message.
He is spamming. Simple as that. We don’t need 3-5 threads from him on the exact same thing over and over again. Post was deleted. Get over it. Don’t spam the forums with your complaints about it, just move on.
Let’s keep the discussion civil.
Rather ironic coming from the person who keeps spamming the forums with the same thread over and over again because you’re upset that they deleted your post. So much for being civil eh?

Then complain if they are not gone by then. Rather ridiculous of you to complain about something like this when the event is still going on. Your own reading comprehension should of told you that the event is not over yet.

It’s not just you, don’t worry. It happens to everyone that uses small scale text.
It’s like they just resized the large text, instead of adding a whole new text size. You know when you shrink a picture down, it becomes distorted from the original? It’s like that. Instead of making a small size text, they just shrunk the large one down and now it’s all distorted.
It’s been this way since beta, and they’ve known about since then as well. Guess it’s just not on their priority list to fix.

Screenshots for proof (sorry couldn’t edit main post for some reason). Don’t mind the low res graphics. It’s the only way I can do WvWvW without rendering issues.
Your screen shots indicate you do not have enough money for the repairs when he’s actually refusing to repair it. Your screen shots only tell me that it’s working, maybe see if you can find one that shows you have enough money and he refuses you
The screenshots are in order.
In the first screenshot, you can clearly see I have enough money to repair. I have 4 silver and 23 copper available. It costs 2 silver and 96 copper to repair my armor.
In the second screenshot, you can see where he says “Looks like you can’t afford the repair cost”. When obviously from the first screenshot, you can tell I can afford the repair cost.
Then in the third screenshot, you can see the new updated repair costs along with my new updated available amount. He charged me the 2 silver and 96 copper when he told me I couldn’t afford it. Now he is charging me an extra 1 silver and 64 copper for repairs, when it should of been taken care of the first time.
All this time, in all screenshots, you can see my armor is still broken even though he charged me once already and is trying to charge me a second time for repairs he didn’t even do.

Ranger Spirits. When they summon their spirits underwater, they take on the form of Dolphins. The elite Ranger Spirit takes on the forum of a Whale when underwater.

I hate this mechanic in general. But it is buggy as well to make me hate it even more.
Several times I have visited the NPC to ask them to repair my gear. It would say I have something like 5 silver and 34 copper available and it costs 3 silver and 23 copper to repair my gear.
So I click to repair, and he tells me I cannot afford it and don’t have enough money. When I clearly had plenty to get repairs. So I check again, and now I only have 16 copper and still have broken gear. So he takes all my money and doesn’t even repair my gear.
So sick of this happening. It has happened several times to me so far and getting really tired of losing money to this ridiculous mechanic. Especially in PvP when I am barely making any money as it is to afford these repairs.

I believe it only counts for the digital version of the game, not a store version (thus why it says digital deluxe upgrade). You gotta buy it directly from the site to get the promotion that is being offered, as the store doesn’t carry the promotion.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
You can get the Deluxe upgrade inside the Gem Store.
You do not get the free upgrade cause that is a promotion to new players.

Wait, explain “teleporting.” If you’re talking about using a profession ability (like thief’s Shadowstep/Shadow Return) I don’t see that as cheating, simply utilizing game mechanics. Is there another way to teleport, like a hack?
It’s a third-party program that people are getting from a certain site that allows them to teleport anywhere in the world. They use coordinates (X,Y,Z) to pinpoint locations and the program pops them to it. Then they just put in another one and zip right off to the next location. It is literally teleporting them around.
Basically they put in the coordinates for a node, say a rich orichalcum ore, and they appear on top of it. Then mine it, and teleport to the next one. It’s a new way of getting around and farming by using “hacks”.

It seems people don’t understand the difference between verbal abuse and just swearing. People swear. That’s life. If you don’t like it, get over it. It will happen and you will hear it. Verbal abuse is a whole other subject.
When it comes to GW2, you won’t get banned for simple swearing. Anyone who says they did, is lying. There is a lot more to the story if they claim that. Simple swearing like “that is F’ing awesome” will not get you banned. There is a profanity filter for those exact reasons if you don’t like it.
But when it comes to verbal abuse, then you can get banned for it. When you direct those curses to an individual, that is when it becomes an issue. Such as saying “you’re an F’ing F’er”. Then you can get action taken against you.
And those who say it is childish to report someone for that kind of behavior, get over yourself. There is nothing childish about enforcing the rules that YOU agreed to. If you don’t like it, leave. You signed an agreement saying you would report such behavior and abide by the rules. So don’t get all high and mighty with your morals about how your rights are being taken away.
Blocking someone doesn’t solve anything. That individual will continue to verbally abuse others whether you blocked him or not. Does that stop the problem? No it doesn’t. Reporting the individual and having action taken against them stops the problem. It gives them a nice vacation and time to think about what they have done and decide if it is worth doing again. So again, telling them it is childish and to just block them solves nothing.
So seriously. Grow up, stop bickering like a child over rules that you agreed to that you don’t want to follow, and move on. This is Anet’s house, and they have rules. Abide by them or leave. Simple as that.

Yes, but that is a bad design if you are building a game to last. A new player is going to have a hard enough time trying to get a feel for the game with low level areas devoid of life and will get even more frustrated by impossible quests that were designed to be done with large groups that would have only ever been found during the launch of the game. If you start to cut off the supply of fresh players the game stagnates and won’t last very long.
Also, let’s not invoke realism in a game where I can be shot in the face with a gun and be totally okay.
The devs have already acknowledged that they need to do something to get more people into lower level zones and im confident they will act on it. But for the article to say that dynamic events are REQUIRED to level is just false. Theyre an added extra that are not on the main map and lower level players are encouraged to complete the renown hearts and map completion. Dynamic events arent needed and im sure anyone with an ounce of common sense would realise this before quitting the game.
Umm Dynamic Events are required to level. You can’t just do 100% map completion. You will never net enough experience to move on to the next area if you just do that. You have to do Dynamic Events to get enough experience to level and move on.
And they are not an “added extra”. They are your main source of experience while leveling. Dynamic Events provide more experience than anything else on the map. They are your “quest” when compared to other MMOs.

And on the subjects of gear, Ascended gear. A gated grind. There isn’t much more to say about this than what is already said. It is gated content that is a rather large grind yet again.
Crafting. Crafting feels pointless and tedious. What happened to the whole “You’ll never make stuff just to level. Everything you make will be useful”? It seems we are making so much random stuff just to level off than we are anything useful. And the way it is designed just doesn’t seem that great. In other games, if you made something, you got a point. In GW2, you get progress to your next point. So instead of just making one item to level up, you have to make 2-4 items just to get your next point. And with the Mystic Forge, they keep throwing all the recipes for endgame stuff in there and giving nothing to crafting. And that brings me to the next one.
The Mystic Forge. A whole pot of RNG. It seems like the ultimate gold sink and where they toss everything into. New recipes? Mystic Forge. Want a Legendary? Mystic Forge. Want some unique exotics? Mystic Forge. Want that new mini? Mystic Forge. Oh you wanted an item directly? Sorry, you have to deal with RNG and hope you get it. Which brings me to my next point.
Lottery and RNG. This is the number one issue that makes me feel like I am playing a F2P game. So much randomness in this game and nothing definite. Take for instance, lottery chests. In Halloween, there was tons of complaints against them. But they made them again in Lost Shores. Tons of complaints again against them, but they did it again in Wintersday. Obviously they don’t care what we think about them, and they are going to keep doing this Lottery stuff. This screams F2P. Games like Perfect World and other F2P use these as cons to make you gamble away money. It is sad to see such a mechanic in GW2. Why do we have to gamble for stuff we want? Why can’t we just buy it straight up? And the RNG system is the same way. Everything you do in this game is a gamble. There is nothing set in stone and nothing guaranteed. You have to gamble for everything.
There is a few more things that bug me about this game and make it feel like a F2P game, but this is just most of them. Sorry but I had to get this out. I had high hopes for this game and in the beginning, it seemed promising. But lately it just feels like a “cash cow” and they are sacrificing game design for greed.
Please feel free to add your own thoughts and tell me my opinion is wrong, when it is just an opinion. Thanks for reading if you do.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
So been playing GW2 since the betas and have enjoyed it so far, but lately it has felt more F2Pish than a AAA MMO. So sorry if this gets too long, but bear with me.
To start, the grind. There has been a lot of talk about the grind in this game, and a lot of it I agree with. Out of all the MMOs I’ve played, this one feels like it has the most grind. I’ll touch on the different things later, but there is several things that contribute to this grind. Just feels like a game that advertises no grind, seems to have a lot of it.
Money. Seems no matter what we do to make money, Anet finds a way to nerf/stop it. If we start farming events, they get nerfed. If we farm dungeons, they get nerfed. If we find clever (legit) mechanics to make money, they get nerfed. We even get DR on us if we farm too much to stop us from making too much money. It seems the only way to make money now is by playing the Trading Post, which not everyone is savy at. But no matter how many ways we find to make money, it seems Anet keeps putting a stop to it. It makes it feel like they are forcing us to pay them real money in order to make any money in game.
Lack of suitable rewards. For all our efforts we do, we are barely rewarded adequately. In other games (including GW1), you are rewarded equal rewards for the content you are doing. In GW1, when you are in a level 20 dungeon and killing mobs, you are getting max level stuff as drops. Drops off regular mobs. Even the final reward for completing the dungeon is max level items. In GW2 though, you get junk items. You clear a dungeon and defeat the end boss and all you have to show for it are a few blue and white items that are lower level than you and worthless. On occasion you’ll get a green or rare item, but that is all based off luck rather than effort.
To follow up that, Magic Find. Yes let’s add a stat that hinders your team for your own personal greed. I don’t get this. This also makes me think of the drop rates. It is obvious drop rates are bad and the only way they get better is if you have Magic Find. So why do we even have this? Simply increase drop rates, remove Magic Find, and no more hindering teams over personal greed. I will never understand why a game would even introduce this mechanic in the first place. Basically, if you don’t have MF gear, you are going to get bad drops but you’ll be more helpful to the team. But if you do have it, you’ll get better drops but be less useful to your team. Why? It is an unneeded mechanic that only promotes personal greed over effective teamwork.
Dungeon Grind. When I first heard about the token system through the blog post, I was under the impression that we would get a token to exchange for a piece of gear. Just like other games do (you beat a boss, you get an armor token and it gives you a piece of gear). Instead as it turns out, we need 180-300 tokens for one piece of gear. Which is fine if you are a grinder and enjoy doing a dungeon over and over and over again till you get 300 tokens for one piece of gear. Either way, it is a rather large grind just to gear up via dungeons (which was supposed to be the end all for gear until Ascended gear showed up).
Continued in the next post (hopefully).

That lack of info is the same lack of info that we all have. No different. No one knows or has an answer to your question, because no one has that information as of yet.
All we can do is wait and see. Or till Anet says something.

Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Great post and well written OP. I am disgusted as well. I’m litterally sitting with my wallet , ready to dish up some bucks. But I can only get my minis through RNG. So it stays in my pocket until they remove the RNG. Unfortunately it seems that with a lot of players doing that, and being disappointed, business > players.
I think the point everyone misses is you don’t have to spend real money to get the boxes. You can flip 10 g in game into gems and use that and play the Christmas Chest Roulette with out every spending a dime of RL money as well. ANet’s build in that option for all of us (though in truth it’s really only viable for those of us who have high enough level characters to farm efficiently or who have the know how to play with the Trading Post).
You just kind of invalidated your own point there though.
While Gold to Gem transfers sound fine in the beginning, it is rather expensive to buy gems at the moment. So if someone wanted to play the whole RNG Lottery game with Anet without spending any money, they would have to be a hardcore farmer or someone who plays the TP.
With all the tons of nerfs on ways to make gold, Anet basically smashing any clever ways to make gold, and just outright all the tons of gold sinks they have, no normal player is able to make any money. Much less, use that money that they can make, to play the Lottery.
And any time someone does find a way to make money, even a little, Anet stops it.

While I am satisfied this time around with the Holiday Event (besides the mini pet issue that is going on), we still haven’t even finished it yet.
We still got two other events to run for the main cities (Hoelbrak and Rata Sum), then whatever events will occur once Tixx arrives in Lion’s Arch. As well as the big finale still to come.
Not saying that they are going to pull yet another “free precursor” moment again, but we have to wait and see what the future holds still. The event is far from over.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
It’s impossible to own every pet from this event by design, as you will only be able to get 2 of the 5 pets that don’t require gems. Maybe the lesson is you don’t need it all, but should instead just get things you like.
The individual pets are/will be directly available for purchase through the gem store.
Ventari and Princess Doll mini-pets are currently available.
Only the Dungeon Minis will be available through the gem store. The Chest Minis won’t be. They are still in the gamble chest. The Dungeon Minis are the only ones that are being added to the gem store.
People keep forgetting there is two different sets of minis this year.
The ones you craft from the dungeons (the ones you get blueprints for) are going to be available in the gem store. Because you can only craft two of them normally. So they put the others in the gem store so you could get them all still.
Then you have the ones in the Wintersday Lottery Chest in the gem store. Those ones are only available from the Wintersday Lottery Chest. You can not buy them separately. You can only obtain them via the Chest.
Both are account bound, but both have different methods of obtaining them. One is via dungeons, the other is via lottery chests. The dungeon ones are the only ones being put in the gem store separately, while the lottery chest ones are still in the lottery chest.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Honestly, my thoughts on this whole gamble thing? I think they are forced to do it.
Just food for thought.
Shadow of the Mad King, we had Lottery Chests. Tons of complaints and mostly everyone said to just put the items in the store normally. No one wanted them at all. But they didn’t listen to us at all and did it again. Then they made Mad King Lottery Chests after we just complained about the last lottery chests. But that didn’t stop them, they went and did it yet again.
Lost Shores. Yet more Lottery Chests. Tons of complaints again and people saying to put the items in the store instead. Yet again, they didn’t listen to us and ignored the complaints and did it once again.
Now Wintersday. You guessed it, Lottery Chests yet again. Tons of complaints again and people saying to just put the items in the store and stop with all this lottery nonsense.
Not a single response from Anet about why they keep doing Lottery when they know pretty much everyone hates it. Not a peep whatsoever about this constant Lottery stuff, when there are tons of complaints about it all the time.
Now how much you want to bet that when the next event comes around, we are going to get yet another Lottery Chests of some kind? No matter how much we hate them, they ignore us and keep doing it over and over. So like I said, my idea? They are forced to do it. I would like to think that Anet isn’t ignoring us and do actually want to stop this ridiculous lottery business that everyone is complaining about, so I am assuming they are forced to do this.
That’s my thought on this whole Lottery issue. Take it for what you will.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Yeah by the end of ours, we had three kill toxx events up. And we kept getting double to triple events during the whole thing. Like killing turrets, soldiers, and saving the ventari.
It was rather buggy so to say. But was still crazy fun. lol
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Look on your map, there are two red & white candy icons next to each other near the south entrance to the city. One is the vendor, the other is the dungeon ring.
Has the event already started?
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Probably assume in the Upper City as it is the most largest area and the main attraction mostly. Either way, you’ll see it appear on the map when he arrives.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Why is the jumping puzzle so hard and long? They should really make it easier so its more accessible to most players.
Also, what do you get if you made it to the end? Is the reward repeatable?
1. Its not hard.
2. You get nothing good, like always in gw2..you should be use to that already
3. Its not worth repeating.
1. It may not be hard to you, but those who are no good at platforming or have a handicap, will struggle with it. You have to remember there is more people in the world with different skills than you.
2. Not like always. For the Clock Tower, people got Exotics. Lost Shores, a one time event, people got Precursors. There is tons of good stuff in the game. Again, just cause you might not like something and think it is worthless, doesn’t mean everyone thinks that.
3. As for repeating it, I have no idea what the reward is for repeats. The first time, I heard you get some gifts, a personalized gift, and a few other things. Unsure what they all are. But there is people there that have been farming it and keep linking their tons of stacks of gifts. So guess for them it is worth repeating.
As to the OP, if you can’t complete it, don’t worry about it. If the title is something you are going after, there is a total of 16 achievements for Wintersday. You only need to do 12 of them to get the title. So you can skip the jumping puzzle if you are finding it too difficult.

I don’t know if you were here for Lost Shores, but if you were, remember that?
That is why we have it in a dungeon.
If they made it an open world thing, imagine the lag, disconnects, crashes, etc. Imagine Lost Shores all over again. Thousands of players all in one area spamming every AoE they got just to try and hit something that isn’t even on the screen yet. You could barely see anything, barely anyone was loading in, and good luck finding a mob to attack if you didn’t have an extremely high end system.
It was really a disaster. What should of been awesome, was destroyed by all the lag, disconnects, nothing loading, freezes, crashes, errors, etc etc.
So this time around, they put it in a dungeon. It worked for Mad King, and it works for Tixx. No more massive scale battle to cause all the above. Instead, we got a nice atmosphere that runs smoothly with just the five (or less) of you running around in it.
I feel this is a much better way to do things than having a massive world event.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Why have you separated, except for the WvW kills which I and many others would wish you would take out of the monthly, every type of content into its own category of PvE and PvP, and then go and put in PvP requirements for the Wintersday achievements? I HATE PVP, as do many others, and find it completely unfair that I HAVE to participate in it in order to complete all the achievements. TAKE IT OUT!
Sign here if you agree!
And people who don’t like PvE complain that there are PvE achievements.
If you don’t like it, don’t do it. Simple, right?
PvE is easier to do than PvP though.
It depends on the type of player you are. PvE isn’t always the easy choice to everyone.
Some people can PvP like it was a first language to them. But put them in a PvE dungeon or raid, and they are completely lost. Same for PvE as well. Some people can PvE with ease, but stick them in PvP and they are clueless.
It is all personal experience. One isn’t harder than the other, they are just different styles.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Haven’t really had any lag, except for during the Bells like was said before. A few lag spikes here and there during that, but that’s about it.
But just like any other event, a lot is going on with a lot of players as well. It is safe to expect such lag issues if you have a low end computer or a slow connection. If you fall in any of those categories, try reducing your graphics to help reduce some of that lag you are experiencing.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
I was actually thinking we were going to get some cute skimpy santa style outfit for the ladies and a fat jolly santa outfit for the men. Oh how wrong I was.
But I love this new outfit. It is so stylish and gorgeous. I have been waiting for something more high-class for my Mesmer, and this fits perfectly.

You don’t have to do PvP to get the title. There is 16 Wintersday Achievements. You only need to do 12. Meaning, you can skip 4 of them.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Best solution would be to make them unbound. This way players can trade or sell the ones they already have and don’t get ripped off if they release a mini-pack or something else along those lines.
Any other solution would be wasted money to all those who already gambled for them. Only logical solution would be to make them able to be traded.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
No one has them yet, so there is no way to preview them or see any pictures of them. You have to wait till at least day three before anyone can make one.
The only way we know which ones are coming, is cause the icons are already in the mini section of your collection tab in the bank.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Yeah like Avan said, it is a known bug. The Skritt for some reason are not scaling properly, thus having higher level Skritt than the area. There is several presents out there like it, so just be careful from now on till it is fixed.
Lady Bethany Of Noh – Chronomancer – Lords of Noh [LoN]
Definitely have given my thanks in a few threads already for this spectacular event, but here is yet another for the this thread. Thanks!
Am really happy with the way this event was handled (though I do understand some concerns with the mini pet debacle). Otherwise, I hope this is the future of further events like I have said before. Great job on this seriously.

i believe you may be wrong here i doubt he spent 75 dollars i believe you are exaggerating by A LOT i don’t believe you although i do wish they put the minis in a pack like Halloween in this event i feel as if i’m not being robbed at all its really enjoyable i had 200 gems left over from Halloween bought 2 boxes got a mini i was happy when i announced i got one a lot of other people said they got one too either your lying or this person has the worst luck in the world or you can just hate the gem store entirely and be making this up in hopes they get rid of it because i believe that this system is working the definatley improved. though id rather have the minis in a pack rather than a random.
Well guess what bro it is true. Wheter you believe me or not I could rely care less, this is not about you, sorry to break your bubble. This is about the wintersday minis not being sold on the gem store in a 4-pack. RNG should never had revolved around 1 time only minis.
you misunderstand i may not believe your story but you are right about the RNG minis that is the wrong direction for minis but it happened hopefully not again but they did it that way im only trying to give support to A net this is a new system for any MMO they got to test it it ll be rocky before it gets smooth lots of people are QQing and saying i quit over something that isn’t necessary
Actually this system is far from new. The Lottery thing is something that has been a part of F2P games for awhile. They use these lottery items (though they are more P2W items instead of cosmetic) to suck money from their players. It is a gambler’s paradise. This is nothing new, as I said, F2P games have been doing this forever. Just sad to see this sort of system in a “AAA” MMO.

Write down your keybinds so you don’t lose them, and then set your keys back to default. This way you can go in there, get the two achievements, and be done with it. Then set your binds back up.
Like you said, you don’t want to put in the effort so you’re missing out cause of it. Anet isn’t to blame, you are (sorry if that sounds harsh, wasn’t trying to be).

I think the comment, “all five days.” imply’s that we won’t be able to repeat the quests after Tixx has arrived in Lion’s Arch. Can you do the quest on alternate characters?
It’s account based, not character based.

i believe you may be wrong here i doubt he spent 75 dollars i believe you are exaggerating by A LOT i don’t believe you although i do wish they put the minis in a pack like Halloween in this event i feel as if i’m not being robbed at all its really enjoyable i had 200 gems left over from Halloween bought 2 boxes got a mini i was happy when i announced i got one a lot of other people said they got one too either your lying or this person has the worst luck in the world or you can just hate the gem store entirely and be making this up in hopes they get rid of it because i believe that this system is working the definatley improved. though id rather have the minis in a pack rather than a random.
You forget that it is all RNG based. While you and a few others might get one on your first or second try, others might not get one at all. You can’t base the entire drop rate off your own personal experience. It is purely luck based. And if the RNG system hates you, you won’t get one.

I seriously hope people +1 this post so we can get Arenanet to put out a 4-pack sale for the minis. I refuse to spend money on RNG but will 100% spend money on the 4-pack!
Maybe next time. They can’t back out anymore when people have bought the minis already. It’d be an even bigger slap in the face for those players.
The only plausible solution would be to make the minis able to be traded. Remove the account bound, and allow players to trade them.
Any other way would end up screwing over the players who already bought them.

It definitely sounds like her. I thought the same thing when I heard her speak.

why do people care so much about minis? They are just cosmetic nothing more :S
You’re asking quite an odd question to a community who plays a game that revolves around collecting cosmetics. lol

Yeah missed it my first time as well. Luckily someone mentioned it my second time, and I got an exotic bow from it. Glad I remember it from now on. lol

This is beyoned unfair and goes against everything Arenanet has done with the gem store.
Sounds exactly like halloween, actually.
Are these the minis that you can make buy getting materials from the tixx dungeon without spending a dime, btw?
Actually, Halloween had a Halloween Mini-Pack that you could buy. It gave you all three minis, and then you could toss those minis in the Mystic Forge to get a “super” mini. There was no random/lottery for them. You could buy them straight up.
These new minis on the other hand, can only be obtained through the lottery chests. So someone could spend 100 dollars on lottery chests, and not get a single mini. Or alternatively, spend 100 dollars, and get 30 of the same exact mini. And they are account bound so you are stuck with those 30 duplicates, that you have to either bank or destroy since you can’t sell them.
They are talking about the minis from the Wintersday Lottery Chests in the gem store, not the ones from the new dungeon.

There is no holiday items in the Black Lion Chests.

Not sure how long they last, but I know that when Tixx reaches LA, you can replay any city that you missed. So if you miss out on one, you can just wait till then.
