It's not that I don't appreciate going through harder loops to get an item that's worth it; the collection itself is fine. I don't even mind the time gates for like an hour or so. Something to make people slow down. But a whole day feels like over kill. Especially for those of us who have full time jobs and irl commitments. There's nothing wrong with appealing to a casual crowd, which is why so many people love GW2. No one is saying they don't want to work for their items. It DOES feel like an accomplishment when you work hard for something and get it. The only thing I feel needs to be nerfed is the time gating, to perhaps a few hours at most if it's a mechanic that must stay. I'm just hoping when it's over we'll get something worth while.

I just have to add... I used to spend a LOT in this game. Back when I had a higher paying job, I could have spent a good $1,000 on gem store purchases alone. I no longer have that high paying job but I still spend money in the gem store when I can readily afford it. This being said, I am no longer going to pay for any more gem store items until the mount RNG and forced bundles have stopped. I've loved this game and have played since early 2013. I have 3 accounts, all 3 having both expansions. I've probably spent more on this game than what's wise, but I can't condone this behavior? It's RNG cosmetics now, but tomorrow it could be armor stats. We already have boosters that give better rewards/gold in WvW and PvP. Many MMOs start out with "innocent" cosmetic systems that are a bit unfair, but hey, just cosmetics. But then they travel further down the rabbit hole. I really do not want to see my favorite MMO become like that.
