The choice you have made, ANet, in making these mount skins only available in what is essentially a randomized loot box is very concerning, regardless if we can't get duplicates. It is showing me that you are willing to participate in, and promote, what I can only call a cancer that is currently plaguing so many game developers right now. Look at the amount of backlash games like Shadow of War, Star Wars Battlefront II, and Destiny 2 received for their decision to strip down theirs games just to implement a randomized loot box system. Sure, we have had Black Lion chests in-game since release, but the only difference is we can earn the keys by simply playing the game; hell, even just straight up buy the items that are likely inside the chest if we want. With these mount skins we can only get them through the licenses. I have spent a few hundred dollars to support this game that I love, but this is just a predatory and anti-consumer tactic that I cannot and will not support. I love these skins, some of them are very well designed, but the way you approached it is very, very, poor and many other players who genuinely care about this game agree. If this is the direction you plan to go, predatory RNG loot boxes, then I will not support this game anymore. I viewed Guild Wars 2 as perhaps one of the last good MMOs out there (And this is coming from someone who has played WoW for over ten years), but I guess the cancer is starting to reach here as well. Please ANet, I beg of you to rethink your approach to these skins, and future cosmetic additions to the game. This is not the way to go. Please allow us to simply buy the mount skins we want directly, and not through this "glorified gambling" route you have chosen to pursue. I am not mad, just very, very disappointed.
