My first elite spec was the Reaper, and I still have a soft spot for it. But I decided to try an Engineer to see what all the Mechanist hype was about, and was shocked to see all the icons appearing over the 6-0 Action Bar, until I realized that I was buffing the Hell out of myself, and that an Engineer with a Rifle made a Necromancer with a Staff look like a sad, sad joke. And then I took them both into the Mad King's Labyrinth, and my Necromancer felt like a sad, sad joke, even though the Necros is in Ascended and Exotic gear and the Engineer's only in Exotic and Rare. And that's before the Engineer started working on Mechanist. Right now, why would anyone play a Minionmaster Staff Power Reaper when they could play a Mechanist Rifle Engineer? There's simply nothing the minions bring to the table to compare with that bot. And, exactly what does Reaper "excel" at, besides having extra health? Or is the Necromancer in general considered to be the Honda Accord of the game, able to do everything more or less average but having other professions be able to do any single thing it can do, but better?

Thank you for the extra week. It's most appreciated!

Digital Deluxe Upgrade, HoT Digital Deluxe Upgrade, PoF Digital Deluxe Upgrade, EoD Digital Deluxe Upgrade (2,000 Gems / 2,400 Gems / 2,400 Gems / 2,400 Gems) The game's been out for ten years. It's safe to assume that everyone who really wanted these upgrades have picked them up, and everyone else is content playing without them. Knock 'em down by 50%, and tap into someone's Fear Of Missing Out on the sale. You might just land some players who have been thinking that the original price is a bit steep, but for half-off, they'll take the plunge. Living World Season 2, 3, 4, 5 Packs (1,280 Gems / 960 Gems / 960 Gems / 960 Gems) 4160 Gems is $60.00 (with 640 Gems left over)... want to get new players who are thinking "Hell yeah this is awesome!" thoroughly hooked? Package them at 20% off, 3328 Gems, or better yet do a package of all four Seasons for a nice, round 3200, or $40.00, and get them striking while the anvil is hot. Season 3, Season 4 Expedition Contract (1,000 Gems each) Same logic as the Digital Deluxe Upgrade. The hardcore crafters already have them, everyone else decided to live without them. Go get some fencesitters to spend Gems! Home Portal Stone (900 Gems) New players barely learn about their Home instance during their initial foray into the game. Want them to start thinking about playing the game every day, and going into their Home to hit the daily nodes that most of them don't even know are for sale? Put this on sale. Maguma Pact Operation Portal Device / World Boss Portal Device (400 Gems each) Continuing the trend of "Something cool for older players, something cool for newer players", we're back to older players, and these are the type of "Man, that would be convinent" purchase that many players with an 80 or two under their belt still don't know about because they haven't dived deeply enough into the back shelves of the BLTC store. Blow the dust off, let the "Oooh, shiny!" catch their eye, and put them on sale. Held Toys Perfect opportunity to get new players thinking "Hey, that looks fun!" Six suggestions to get old and new alike to buy something at a bit of a discount, that will give them reason to remember the 10th Anniversary with a smile on their face, every time they use it, and that won't cut into the profits that Fashion Wars or Chest Keys brings the company.

I am both thankful to see you / Anet draw a line in the sand, and sad that it had to happen in the first place.
