Up until now everything in this game could be obtained just by playing the game, not even having to farm for long periods of time. That's one of the things GW2 has had over not just every MMO, but every game that has micro-transactions. You had the ability to pay once and get what you want. With this loot box system you're going to spend your real money many times on the CHANCE that you might get the skin you like. How many times is it going to be? 4 times? 10 times? more than that? $120 dollars? This wouldn't be bad if you could pay once, take your 400 gems, grab the skin you want and off you go... but no. You had to put this garbage in a perfectly good game that had a respectful micro-transaction system. Please take this system out ANET. If there are players who have paid for multiple individual adoption mounts, give them two options: You can pick whatever skin you want for as many individual mount licences that you bought OR choose to have you money refunded and the skins you didn't want become locked. For the people who bought the whole friggin thing, that will just depend on whether or not they want anything refunded. I know that there are going to be people who jump on this as an opportunity for pro-active shenanigans. Flaming, being needlessly rude to ANET and it's employees, etc... I really like this game and as an MMO, this is my home. I want people who don't like this adoption mount system to be pro-active about voicing their opinion, but please(please) don't take the potential for making a change and ruin by being vile. If they want to make money off of mount skins that's absolutely fine. But not with this poisonous, loot box, gambling system. Give people a choice to choose the skins they want.
