So after I've read a few of the comments here (not all, because that's just too much) I want to answer some of the statements that were made by people who are defending Anets RNG nonsense. "The Gemshop only contains cosmetic Items, it isn't pay to win."Yeah you are right, but that isn't the point. People are freaking out because if they want one specific mount skin, they need to buy licenses for 120$ in the worst case. Guild Wars 2 had one of the best Gemshops, because they had just a few RNG aspects. You knew what you were buying. You have the chance to get one black lion chest for free every week and the exclusive dyes can be bought and sold in the trading post. So even if you didn't get what you want you still have other ways to get it. "ANet needs to make money, you are just to dumb/lazy/greedy/whatever to acknowledge their hard work"Yeah they need to make money, they do hard and good work. But it isn't the point. People don't want to pay more money for a guaranteed chance to get like 3 or 4 skins they want, than they paid for the game itself. And with these RNG methods ANet wont earn more money. There are ppl buying the licenses and they maybe buy 10 or even more, but there are enough ppl which would pay even more gems if they could decide which skin they get. ANet could sell RNG and non RNG licenses and make more money, now they lose potential buyers. "It's ANets game and they decide what they do!"Again you are right, but a lot of players aren't happy with content like RNG Skins and they speak out to change something, or at least stopping ANet from doing such things again. To give Feedback is something really important for every kind of content creator and negative feedback is a chance to learn and to offer better options. We are giving feedback as it is our right, to make GW2 a better place to be. So what could the devs do?There are a few things they could do, They could lower the prices, but everyone who already bought licenses would be angry about this.They could remove the RNG aspect from the licenses and give everyone who already bought licenses the chance too choose.They could add a non RNG license to the GemShop, a lot of players stated they would even pay MORE gems to decide which skins they get. They could make the skins sellable, so you can sell unwanted skins in the TP and others can buy skins they want.

If you don't like this discussion, don't be part of it.

The prices would be okay, if the skins weren't random. I'm not ready, willing and able to spend almost 10k to get the desert loop. I like about the halt of the skins, so I won't even try. The danger to get skins I don't even want and can't sell.
