Josiah.2967 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Anyone else feeling incredibly let down by the anniversary sale? I bought hundreds of dollars worth of gems in anticipation for the sale, and have bought almost nothing. I hope it ends with a bang because it started with a whimper.

Luthan.5236 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 You could just buy the gems as needed. As there doesn't seem to be a sale on gems and the real money : gem ration is always the same even for bigger packs. (If you buy with real money instead of trading gold.)I'm also waiting for char slots, maybe HoT and the living world season 2. Not interested in skins. But someone mentioned that they wanted to get out the skins first - to get people to convert gold to gems while the exchange ratio here is still better. In the end making it more expansive to exchaneg gold for gems by the point they really release the important stuff. (= stuff that is not a skin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 This is actually a marketing tactic. Some players will still buy these 'less exciting' items and the gold to gems ratio will creep up and people will use up gems they have saved, then when the most exciting "must have" items are released players are more likely to exchange gold at the higher rate or buy additional gems with real money to get them. Whereas if they did it the other way around more people would only buy the stuff they really want and skip the other stuff.They do it every year for the anniversary sale, and quite often with the spring sale as well.

ProtoGunner.4953 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I won't buy anything. I don't get it. I want the warclaw skins and they haven't put it online for like 4 months now, but twice within 1,5 months earlier this year.

Turkeyspit.3965 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 All anyone has to do is check the wiki and see what last year's sale looked like: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Gem_Store/Anniversary_Sales#2018_Anniversary_SaleSeems to be following the same pattern, but that all depends on what type of gem store item you're waiting for.

I did that when I saw it go on sale, hoping they'd be kind but suspecting there was a policy. Didn't get a credit, but I knew it was a long shot.
