Selling a lot of skins in a bundle is fine, and mount skins are a great cosmetic to offer with good potential for monetization, but COME ON, Anet. There's no need for this kind of pointless randomisation! If the skins are good, players will buy them. Sell the flashier ones for a higher price if you must, and the pallete swaps for less, but the method chosen here is just insulting and clearly designed to prey on people with addictive personalities.

I loved the expansion in terms of world building, content density and overall feel, but have some issues with its longevity. You've already heard the positives plenty of times so I'll get straight to the few things I didn't like. Heart quests can be repeated, but there's very little reason to repeat them. I can't buy anything useful or unique from them repeatedly each day as I would a S3 living world map. Lack of rewarding map-wide metas means that ultimately I'll be going back to HoT maps in the end. These maps are good for solo farming but really don't inspire me to hang around. A lack of unique items to purchase or craft with makes it all feel a little pointless in the end. Oh yes, and Holosmith has problems. Hoping for a balance pass real soon.
