Will.9785 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 You sacrificed all of the wintersday foods that used to drop from the gifts on the altar of research notes and now the items you need to wrap gifts are 4-5 silver a pop (and rising) on the tradepost.

Will.9785 Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 You used to be able to get them for basically nothing with foods that you got from bags. 4 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Ummm you can buy it with karma, wrap the presents, and distribute. It's lame to lose the food but not exactly Tyria shattering. 13 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the one next to him actually. But still, now you have to spent over 1k karma just to BUY the gift and wrap it. It seriously cuts into the rewards.

Rokeb.3815 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Well, your post is a bit hyperbolic, but you aren't wrong. Propping up a bad decision - research notes - by making existing good content worse is a very poor decision. There were any number of ways to make EoD crafting more expensive and annoying without making non-EoD content less enjoyable at the same time. The only real thing of use I ever got out of Wintersday day were karma (nerfed) and the tuning icicles and tins of fruitcake (both removed). Makes me wonder why I bothered getting a wintersday tree for my home instance. 15 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arianth Moonlight.6453 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Quote Dear ANET thanks for RUINING the Wintersday Karma farm for everyone except rich players dunno what are you talking about, but have you considered not doing it? If you can't skip it then pay the price, it's that simple. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mythical.6315 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) What’s the total karma cost if you bought the items from the vendor with karma? My guess is that it would still be fairly small relative to how much you make with karma boosts. edit: Looks like an additional ~15K karma. Not a big deal considering that you get like 120K per day from it. Edited December 14, 2022 by mythical.6315 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zebulous.2934 Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 eh, someone noticed that the food had been removed from the Winter's day boxes months before Halloween, and they did post the topic in the forums. They even mentioned that the trick or treat bags didn't have food drops either. People didn't seem to care too much at the time. Go figure that drama would only occur when those events actually went live in-game! Y'all are late to the party! I would offer you refreshments, but they are all gone, sorry. 5 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
