Except that it is 400 Gems for a gamble or 9600 to avoid the gamble. It is underhanded and dirty. Had you been able to directly buy the skin you want for 400 Gems instead, the forums wouldn't be overflowing with hatred towards Anet like they currently are.

Just like there's one for gliders.Oh wait... still waiting on that kitten option. Max-sized Norns using the Raven glider skin ftw! I remember looking through glider skins and seeing one where poor chickens are trying to fly while their broken legs are holding the player up.Can only imagine max size/buffed male norns with them would look/feel.Oh the Raven is so obnoxiously huge that I pretty much cannot use it on my Norn - it obscures literally everything. I can imagine me using it would annoy the heck out of nearby players as well.

Not to mention it is a sneaky, underhanded "Want to avoid RNG gambling? Well then pay up, sucker!"-bundle, too. And you STILL need to buy one extra after the bundle.There's 31 skins. The bundle only has 30.REALLY? That's just hilariously tragic.

I admit, I do feel like an idiot and am full of buyer's remorse over the spoopy skins now that I see these. Don't feel bad. The sp00py mounts were objectively a better purchase because, y'know, you get exactly what you paid for.

As would I.

From the update page on the main site : Still doesn't make it any less terrible if you ask me. The very fact that they underhandedly added a "bypass the gambling"-bundle speaks volumes, for example.

Buying permium content I am completely fine with. Gambling for premium content I am vehemently against. This is a kitten and greedy move Anet, and you know it. You thought you could get away with it because of Shadow of War and the new CoD game doing it in their AAA-games right? Well no siree, you get no such pass from me. You're now on the level of those scummy developers, or rather publishers - you're just as bad as them. I'm extremely saddened and disappointed.

Yup. Definitely lowered Anet's standing and good graces in my eyes.

Loot Boxes is (currently as the law hasn't quite caught up with it yet) _technically _not gambling. I mean, it totally freakin' is gambling in every sense of the word but not technically nor legally (at the present moment).

Exactly this. I have no objections towards buying premium content, but I have massive objections towards gambling for it. Anet just became a lesser company/developer in my eyes.

I'm extremely saddened that the Loot Box Bug has bitten Anet, too. They became a much worse developer/company in my eyes.

I have no issues whatsoever with supporting you guys by buying things for Gems in your Gemstore. I do however, have massive objections towards gambling for items. Make these mount skins directly available for Gems without the gambling aspect tacked onto them. It really puts you in a horrible light and I won't lie that I am both saddened and disappointed in this change in direction towards your premium content...

The loot box gambling method of aquiring them, however, is the literal opposite of "awesome".

Plot twist: They give us Staves as a ranged option - in the form of throwing spears!

Fist-focus would actually be a cool idea! But weird too with some of the existing focus skins :D Just have the collection for this hypothetical new spec unlock a real wicked looking fist weapon/brass knuckles-looking Focus. :3

Focus because I've noticed a trend of Anet making a lot of them look like brass knuckles or other kinds of fist/punching weapons as of late. For example, go to your wardrobe collection and look up the "Privateer Focus". :D

The girl tricking the boy around the bank into Playing Lesbians so she can steal a kiss.

This is more of an idealized way my character would look if it was actually possible:

That's true when you're just talking about unbreakable regular tools, but when it comes to the special ones such as the Unbound Magic or Sprocket mining pick(the latter is apparently quite profitable) I'd say it is worth the hassle.

No, you get a set of complete tools that are account bound so you can juggle them around all your characters.

Now that we have the fancy image code...

I'm a Norn Warrior and contrary to popular belief Norns are not simply "big humans" but actually akin to mythological giants that are way, waaaay stronger than a human being. A Norn character should be able to annihilate any other race (with the possible exception of a Charr - maybe) in PvP if you were going by the lore, heh.

I accidentally crafted a ton of Gossamer Patches rather than Bolts of Gossamer. Which sucks super hard because it ate up tons of valuable leather in the process. Felt really bad, man.
