The difference is that you can earn achievement points by playing the game. You can't do the same with exclusive birthday rewards which is why birthday rewards - at least in the case of GW2s personal rewards - are fundamentally stupid since there is no gameplay whatsoever involved. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Seems a bit underwhelming to me. I guess the proof of legend is used to trade it for the remaining weapons (where you get 2 of each set once per account from the account-wide gift). I do not really like the weapon skins. More statuettes would have been fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not getting an instant muscle pack sent to you because you kept having a membership card for 10 years without even showing up. Similarly you get majority of the rewards for consistently playing the game, not just for creating account 10 years ago and passively waiting for some ridiculously expensive rewards.

Valaraukar.7652 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I can understand why some people are complaining about the fact that the 10 birthday gift isn't really unique. I mean the eight birthday gift was more unique than 9 and 10 in some way. But Aat least we go something, on some other game, we got nothing. So we should be happy with what he have in comparaison of these games ^^ At least, we got a title so it's not so bad no ? ^^ let's be positive on this birthday day ^^ 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, membership card means nothing, only work, actual effort does, and also yeah, expecting a legendary weapon is nonsense, since it would just make them irrelevant, but you gotta admit that just a title is underwhelming 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People must truly have no faith at all in Anet. I'm surprised people play at all if "just be glad we got something" is a true statement in this case. GW2 is not like other games, its a mmo different to other mmo's, at least it was before EoD dropped and they started to break the once good combat systems with bad balancing (fingers crossed that is truly fixed with their promised changes to the team!). But like, you must have extremely low expectations if just be glad we got something is good enough. The True issue of the case here is the dye was made per account instead of per character, and we lost our level insta to 60 scrolls which is useful for alts and saves a lot of clicking tomes of knowledge. And then we find out that the proof is something we will all be getting anyway with the event, so it is not special in anyway. 2 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like the duality of: Unique skins and dyes? Bad, because dyes are once per account, we should get more and faster! Proof? Bad, because... too many and too fast, so not unique enough! Can't win. Edited August 23, 2022 by Sobx.1758 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zityz.6089 Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Something I've noticed is that the Decade Weapons is heavily tied to the shaders option in the graphic settings, which I cannot think of any other weapon that relies on that. So if you have say your shader option on low, there are basically no textures on the weapon and it looks like a brown hunk of junk. Very odd choice, given that even legendaries are not super effected by this. I wonder if that is just a bug or an oversight on the weapons itself.

Wouldnt want newer players to feel disadvantaged simply for not playing as long. I do sort of agree, but I also think new players seeing how much Anet rewards their dedicated player base might also gain trust and make it seem like a good place to spend some time. Nothing too epic, like you said., but at least something useful, useful for new players too like the birthday cake, would have been nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
