Not the point and this shield is used far too often to excuse predatory business practices. The fact that companies have players actively defending them with this nonsense is probably one of the more troubling aspects of the loot box craze.While I'd otherwise agree on pointless corporate greed and crazy cash cows companies put in for gain, I'm fine with it when it's done in the right context.Vanilla GW2 was the best bang for your buck you can get out of 60$. Nowadays it's just 50$ for Vanilla GW2+HoT+PoF, which is by itself thousands of hours worth of good playtime, for just 50$.Not only that, they're also consistently releasing Festivals, Living Story episodes and (Less consistently so) Endgame content (Fractals+Raids), all done in high quality, and FOR FREE.Anet's business model only has one consistent money maker year-round and that's the Gemstore, which keeps the funding the rest of the game for you. It's their one and only place do whatever they need to keep the running, so they have my blessing to go nuts on it and do whatever they want so long as it doesn't affect actual gameplay and just give us pretty stuff. @Lucciana.6809 said: If you don't like this discussion, don't be part of it. O But I want to. I think Anet has been more than fair with us (For reasons mentioned above), and I'm gonna explain why, since Anet damn well earned it imo.

Would you stop being so butthurt?You don't like that method of gaining skins? Don't freakin' buy it.The beauty of the Black Lion method it that it's all cosmetics and has zero impact on the game itself, It's purely for the ones who want to spend money on that.Are you not one of those ppl who want to spend money this way? Don't be, it's as simple as that. You don't have to put any lines for anyone, the game is still the same.
