Skritt A: Oooh rare Shiny!

Skritt B: Oooh same Shiny!

Both: ....

Both: ...... just common trash.

 

Yeah, Skritt aren't really like that. But guess people sometimes are ^^
They want the Rare and Super Secret Rare things that nobody else has.. and not the commons and uncommons.

 

This actually makes everything comprehensible.  

Oh, and, umm.... you gonna keep that shiny?  I'll trade ya.

I brought this issue up the first time they did this with Alienware. Sufficed to say, this whole situation is very irksome. It's also very apparent that those who didn't buy the statue don't quite understand the frustration.

Why they don't just alter the texture/image, or give it some variance from the statue version, is beyond me. You're talking about, at most, a texture change with some work on colour channels. You're not talking about an entirely new mesh/model where you've got to re-do all the animations and deal with culling/clipping issues.

(omegalul I'm ready for the confuse spam squad)

Some of us who got the celebration cap at launch do quite understand the frustration....nothing is really sacred in a game I suppose.

Hrm.  Language like:  You can currently get the _____ in this bundle, be one of the first players to get your very own _____! 
They could also advertise limited time bundles but stress that it is the first time that the items have appeared in the world of Tyria. Grab your whatever bundle before time runs out!  At least by saying first, you imply that there will be more than one... eventually. 
But yeah games rely heavily on FOMO to push sales.  It is a cheap but effective tactic, no matter how annoying it is.

Why is it so important that nobody else has what you have?  

 

 

That's how it works with item rarity. Why do people want gold, gem stones, original works of art? Yes, because they're beautiful, but people want genuine and original items, not copies and remakes. They are wanted BECAUSE they are rare. Same is with in-game items. Item rarity makes items wanted more.

I know, I know, nothing is 'exclusive' forever--but on the off-chance this actually gets read, is there a possibility those who bought the actual statue have some small difference in the cape? 

As at the moment I feel like all those 'previously verified' people on Twitter when some rando with $8 comes in and gets a blue check mark =\.
