It is irrelevant how often or how rare I used the tonic. I also had no idea of any of the other changes, like the Flamekissed skins and such. They were all things that happened before I started playing the game, thus also irrelevant. I also didn't know they changed the marionette enemies (I didn't play the LS1 episodes), and while that is annoying, they didn't mess with something I had in my wardrobe. The issue is this. Imagine you bought a painting. It's hanging nicely on your living room wall. While you were away, the artist who made it broke into your house and sneakily painted over some areas. The artist might think they improved it and even claim such a thing, but you liked the painting exactly the way it was when you bought it. Now imagine that same artist offers you another one of their paintings. Why would you buy anything from them ever again? How can you know they won't break into your house again and ruin another painting? You don't, and therein lies the problem. I can see how sad my friend is when he mentions the game to me, and how he wishes I play again because we did so many things together. We encouraged one another to keep going and suffer through the grind of Aurora and Vision (the latest in a long string of things). He mentioned the festival. I can't say I care anymore, but today I logged in for the first time since I noticed the tonic change and did dailies. I wanted to see how playing the game makes me feel, if perhaps I overreacted. What I felt was bitterness while playing the game, like hanging out with someone who betrayed you. You can't trust them anymore. The trust is gone and it will never come back.

I love how the shills brush off any complaints saying how it doesn't matter, that people who complaim are weirdos into robot booba or that we are grifters who only log in or post on the forum to complain about GW2. I have played GW2 for at least 5 or 6 years (could be more, but I don't remember exactly, and I do not plan to log in either to check because I said I am done with the game unless they change the tonic back to what it was), I made twelve fanart paintings for this game, and I have been playing almost daily since I got the game. I had just gotten Aurora and Vision and was about to get the legendary amulet too, and next I was planning to go back to WvW to have some fun and get the two legendary rings from there (I've gotten the armor and the backpack long ago). After that, I was planning to go back to the new maps and explore to my heart's content. Despite all that, that one tonic shattered any illusion of owning anything in this game. Nothing feels safe anymore. All it took is one thing to be changed (that I liked a lot), for me to lose that trust. I don't care about the enemies (though I think those shouldn't have been changed either), but if my wardrobe isn't safe, why should I even bother? How can I know they won't 'improve' or 'bring to modern standards' something else that I love? I can't know, and thus I see no point in wasting any more time with something that can be taken away from me at any time.

Why did you change my Infinite WatchKnight Tonic, anet? I bought it because I liked it just the way it was. You changed a product I paid for. I will finish dailies today because of my mild OCD and afterwards I am done with the game. It's not so much about the breasts and the posterior, but about the principle of it. If you ever decide to stop imposing your ideaology on other people and shaming us women for the female form, then I might consider coming back to the game. Until then, adios!

Tried Harbinger just now and I absolutely despise the Elixir mechanics and pistol on necro. Just a personal preference I guess. I'll stick to Reaper and Scourge.

Holy mother of greed is all I can say.

I'm still waiting for the Mad Realm Skyscale, Warclaw, and Beetle. Anything else they release I'm not going to bother unless the skins are super amazing, which they haven't been so far.

They look ghostly and I like ghostly-looking stuff.

No, since getting this one took forever as it was. I don't want another mount that will take me months to get, not to mention that I can't even get the matching skins that I have on all my other mounts.

I was looking forward to buying them but in the end I chose not to because I only want the ears, not the ears and tiara. It's a shame though, since they're really cute. If they ever release the ears alone though, I'll buy them.

I don't think any game has made me this angry in years. This whole Skyscale thing has made me despise the game to the point that I can barely log in to do dailies. I kept going forward trying to get some of the map currency because friends kept telling me that I've worked so hard, it'd be a shame to stop now, but the thing is that I've tried it and the more I play the game to get the currency, the more I despise it to the point that I am seriously considering either quitting or not logging in for a while. If I knew what it would take to get the Skyscale from the start, I wouldn't have started it, at least not right now. I finished Nevermore, Binding of Ipos and full WvW legendary armor, but I knew exactly what I was getting into when I started those collections and I had no problem spending even more than a year to get some of those. On the other hand, we have the Skyscale, a mount I had no reason to believe that I would need to complete repetitive collection after boring collection after annoying collection to get it, and so on and so forth until the grind that is the 250 map currency and then even one more collection because why not? I only did the story on the ls4 maps because the game was mostly unplayable on the laptop, and I was looking forward to going back and completing the maps slowly on the new computer because I actually enjoy stuff like that sometimes, but now, after grinding the currency and barely getting any, and already wasting so many hours of precious time I should be spending on something else, I'm angrier than ever. Every time I thought I was close to getting the Skyscale, it was always one more collection. It's that feeling of thinking you're almost done with something only to find out you're not, a feeling I've experienced way too many times while doing these collections to the point that I couldn't even find within me the strength to get the Rolling Beetle when I saw that I needed to finish yet another collection. I do not usually read twitter, reddit, facebook or the forum, so next time, if I'm still playing the game by then, I would appreciate it if Anet lets us know beforehand that stuff that most of us assume to be just another regular thing is in fact supposed to be some Legendary item. If I knew Skyscale was some legendary mount, I would've chosen to instead spend my time getting Aurora, since for me it's more important to be able to change stats easily than some mount I can't even use in WvW. That being said, I just can't do it anymore. Even if I manage to get the mount eventually, I will never be able to enjoy it because all I can think about is the repetitive boring collections and the unending grind that took to get it.

I almost rage-quit the Skyscale collection a few times so far but I think that the saddle is where it ends for me. I thought I was getting another mount but somehow it turns out it's some legendary mount or something. I have close to almost no currency from the new maps because I only did the story (maps were unplayable on my laptop), and I just don't have the energy or will to keep going at this point. I'll probably take a break from the game and play some other games and then maybe finish it one day.

I'd rather pay 20-25% extra if I can have an item now instead of waiting for months until it's back on sale again. =/

I find the collection within collection within collection thing for the Skyscale, as well as the whole thing, to be soul crushing, and that's all I'm gonna say about it.

Phalanx Armor skins. I want the boots for my guardian but they're not on sale. =/

Anet owes me a key and a TC since I only ever did one map completion on one char and I didn't get either of those. EDIT: The map is Dragonfall.

Or how about just let me buy an armor skin whenever I want instead of having to wait for like half a year until it's back on sale, thus making me lose interest in it by the time it's up again.

I got nothing good in 160 boxes. This event was a waste of time seeing how they put all infusions under Super Rare as opposed to some of them, at least the cheap ones, under Rare. EDIT: I stopped at 164 boxes. My only regret is that I wasted so many hours on this garbage event instead of wvw-ing. EDIT2: Achi panel says I killed 177 bosses (not 164 like I thought), so nothing good in 177 boxes, lol.

I love it but I don't understand why all the new weapons are so big. They look ridiculous. =/
