This kids nowadays don't want to work for reward ... Anet should add the "Gift of Twitch" and require it for every new legendary with limited functionality, no more freebies 😄 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frazazel.7501 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Oh, I was expecting some discussion about what might actually be coming in the next twitch drop. I expect we'll get some combination of: outfit / glider skin mini low-impact gemstore items (character build template, stack of single-use teleport to friend, hairstyling kit, stack of unidentified dye) I would love to get a character equipment template, a bag slot, or something else that actually benefits at least one of my characters.

kharmin.7683 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 You know Anet would never do that. They make too much bank on those things to give them away for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got bag slots from Twitch drops last year. We were all pleasantly surprised. So I don't expect something nice like this, but I can hope.

Then we'd get threads how pressing said button is too much work and how we've already paid for the game after all so some one should have pressed that button for us already. 😉 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazazel.7501 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 If they did that, everyone would push that button and then stop playing the game, because there's nothing left for them to collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsanrb.1570 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Lets be honest, all Twitch drops do is bring the afk bots to streams for the free items, then they leave. The game gets LIMITED exposure for a week, Arenanet spends money on the advertising budget (I heard they do pay pretty well for streamers to play the game) and then in two weeks they don't really get anything at the end of it. Most of the new streamers don't come back, and most of the streamers who stuck with GW2 get free money for advertising the game to the same viewers who already watch them play it. If you are posting on this forum, chances are you don't need Twitch drops. Twitch drops helps get NEW players to try it by offering that free loot so when they get a drop they might walk into the store. It might offer a reminder "Hey look at me, I'm Guild Wars 2 and I'm still alive, come back" to bring a possible returning player back, but then you get the complaints about "Why can't I just skip the stupid Twitch site and give you $5 for it..." 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frazazel.7501 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Haha, you got me. I log in to Twitch only when drops are running. I choose a suitable stream, then mute my phone, and check on it periodically until I got all my drops. I'm not interested in watching someone play GW2. I'll watch a YouTube video of someone talking about specific GW2 content, but I have better things to do than actually watch someone's screen that's flashing crazy spell effects where you can't really tell what's happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving those away for free, ensures future expansion purchase because "Legendary Relics in Future Expansions Legendary Relics will work a bit differently than other legendary equipment, in that players will need to unlock new relic effects for future expansions in order to make use of them with their legendary relics...." I tried to help, bit too late now I suppose. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuickFox.3826 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 I'm not too keen on these because it requires a third-party account (Twitch) to get your drops. I rather see the rewards to be earnable directly in GW2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I have sooo many Trading Post/Bank/Merchant Expresses in the bank. I think I even have a Mistlock 2-week Pass from before in the bank.

I mean we started with a skin that was somewhat exclusive and hasn't been available in years, went to outfit vouchers and have now arrived at Trading Post Expresses? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flowersunshine.7385 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Who needs the convenience set when you already own a permanent pass? Only time I ever use TP express is when scribing, you can imagine how often that is. The others I never use.
