If we are talking economy, the randomness makes no sense because the price of candies won’t reach the price of alternate boosters no matter which way it works (random or not) alternate option for the same XP booster is 3 BL keys or 100 Gems for 2hrs. That’s about 45 gold-ish? Even with randomness, a 2 hour worth of XP boost from gobler will NEVER be close to 45 gold. So what’s the purpose of randomness other than being annoyance to players? Someone who wants to boost XP is not suddenly gonna RP because “they are now a ghost”. (Not considering the laurel xp booster because that’s a limited currency and one would be mad to use that for 30 min XP boost). Agree that the gobler was originally designed as a fun gizmo with xp booster as one of the options. But players (customers) repurposed it over the year for XP boost. Now the same customers are asking to further improve the item. Why would there be any reluctance against that?

Is it possible to have options in the new window to select which booster we need? Take the randomness out of it completely. So XP booster for those who wants it, Magic find for others and if someone wants to RP as a spider, that as well.. ??

This is still continuing. Lagging so bad that I can't even way point now. Pls Anet team, for the love of 5 Gods, pls help fix this. I am at my wits end.

Same here. ping spikes upto 1000 and even 3000ms randomly. Other times just throws me off the game. Got dc twice from a raid today, yesterday from The First City story instance (pain the bottom), and extremely frequent disconnect in PvE. Not even able to mine a node! Last Error Code: 7:11:3:191:101 There is indeed some bug in the system

Firs of all, thanks for reaching out to the community.. One area you should definitely focus is on the music. While the PoF music in itself is good while we play the game, for me, its not upbeat enough to get goosebumps in a 1 min promo video. You need to get the sense of ever present danger, extreme urgency, elation, curiosity, the unprecedented wonder & magic that GW2 has to offer. And tbh, PoF music is too calm for that. If you get the music right, you make the new players watch the video twice/thrice and make them see/read all the subtle things you put into the video. This is what how i feel about all the promo videos ever

I know where this is helpful.. HoT HP runs.. With all the bling and griffon and raptors, I can't darn see where I am going, or where that big kitten gap in ground is, or even who the heck is my PC in that crowd. I swear I have wished for this.

Tl;Dr - I won't suggest boycott to others. I won't buy THIS skin at 2000 gems. But will buy a pterodactyl Griffon. Since I am earning decent at work, I can afford to spend $25 on this skin. But I choose not to, because I don't want this skin (not worth the money, didn't like it, never needed one etc). That's individual "boycott". I won't ask others to follow, because someone might like the peacock and be able to afford it too. OP is asking for everyone to boycott because (s)he can't afford it? I don't agree with that logic. These transactions are what allows Anet to price the original PoF low (setting a low entry barrier to the game). So do not think low price of PoF automatically leads to low price of Gem Store. It's the other way around. Optimum pricing of consumption basis items (read: Gem store) allows Anet, to price PoF low and keep the LS4 free. And if this pricing strategy is indeed profitable for Anet, I am ok to have others buy the kitten peacock or that lava goat, so that I don't have to, still playing this beautiful beautiful game. On the other hand, if you really wanted these skins but can not afford it, then Anet didn't make the skin for you. Harsh, but simple. Anet is a company with real bills to pay. They will price EVERYTHING at the optimum price they BELIEVE will make them the most money. I am not from/linked to Anet, but I can assure you they wouldn't have come up with a magic number of 2000 gems in their sleep. And again, it will NOT be as simple as - WoW is selling at this price, so let's too. IF Anet is wrong in their calculations, and if they don't make enough profit off these, they will adjust their model and you will see future mounts with different pricing strategy. They are taking samples. That's why the first mount was for Firey Jackal, and Second was for bird like Raptor. Next might be a Pterodactyl Griffon (which I might buy for 2500 gems)
