One thing some people should understand is that once a game is running and more contents gets added, it gets harder and harder to update/add new content that is directly tied in to the existing content. This is why even if they are ready to add something ingame, it takes longer and longer to do testing/debugging.
SAB and other web browser game are just fillers so that people have something new to do while waiting for the new content to be launched. It is not something they invested a lot of time and resources on, it is just side-projects.
If it’s so unique, why let the player buy a 2nd one at all on the same character? Unique in its current form doesn’t make sense.
This is because you can have different infusion inserted. So some people have 2 (or more) with different infusions in it.
I do agree, Unique is a bit vague for the average player. It would be better if there is a confirmation box that says “You can only wear only one of this item at a time, are you sure? [Yes] [No]”
This would probably cut down the mistakes by half or more so that we don’t see so many people making the same mistakes. Also it is just a confirmation box so it shouldn’t be too hard to implement.
I find it… odd people talking about ROI in a game.
The .25-.35 is mostly from VAT and the remaining from conversion rates/taxes.

It is the same case with several online companies (example: Blizzard). As it is legal to pass the tax to the consumers, they are doing so. In effect, Anet is not making anything extra.
I noticed a trend that people are just running from quest to quest without completing it. It seems that as long as they did a part of the quest, they will get credit for it once someone else finishes it for them even if they are at the other end of the map as long as they did a small portion of it.
Correct me if I am wrong but in my opinion, this is not how it was designed in mind. People should get credited for the event if (a) they are within the vicinity of the quest and (b) they are active for a certain time.
This would encourage people to finish the quest properly instead of people hit and run expecting other players to finish the event for them.
