Thanks for completely not fixing the problem at all.
Everyone’s biggest beef with the Halloween event was the fact that to get some of the lasting mementos from the event, you either had to pay through the nose on the TP, or rely on sketchy RNG. So what is your fix? To add in more RNG! Hurrah!
This is a terrible way to handle items from holiday events. Holiday event items are supposed to be accessible to all players. A super low chance to drop from chests, means the majority of players won’t even get a skin this Halloween. This irks me almost as much as the dev response of “Hey, if you don’t get a skin buy it off the TP!”. How is 5+ gold an accessible way for non-80’s to get these skins? Or better yet, just wait till after Halloween when the select few who have been controlling the precursor market decide to take advantage of Halloween skins. Prices will skyrocket, more people will turn to 3rd party or gem purchases for gold just like they currently do.
I’m extremely dissapointed that Anet is going to be money-grubbing their holiday events for everything they are worth. I am not even looking forward to any subsequent holiday events after this.
200+ Black Lion chests = 0 skins
30+ Chests of the Black King = 0 skins
