I guess my hopes and dreams of getting a cool charr helmet is out the window

Lets see how ridiculous it can get and if anet ever does anything about it :(

Very rare drop chance for the infusion i understand, but for a charr-only helmet the drop rate seems way to low. The 4 other rare drops can be gotten from other sources, so why can't the helmet come from somewhere else as well?

extremly low drop rate items exist to fuel the gold <-> gem economy

welcome to the real world, where companies seek profit rather than feeding on joy-joy feelings and rainbows

I should have bought it when I saw it at 300 two days ago :'( ... but it was pretty much all the gold I had.

Still, they could placate us (at least those wearing heavy armor ) by releasing the two new heavy helmets I saw on a few Blood Legion NPCs around the map...Us Charr players aren't used to having gear custom made to fit our head and neck, anything that does becomes highly sought after ;)

I want those 2 helmets so bad. Hope they get added in future episodes.

Do you want it because its a status symbol, thus making it common devalues it? Or do you want it because it looks good, in which case market demand determines the price?

Because either way..... its the only 2 of 3 possible ways I can see it retaining value past the window of the next episode, where a new, better shiny grabs our attention. Remember when Koda's Warmth was all the rage?

Its the fact the drop rate has determined out of every doing the meta only 12 has been sold/bought. With it tied to 1 extra ap for getting all 3 sets which would cost 9k gold.

You would think that the box was supposed to be regular drops through events with how crap RNG is in this game.

[mindcircus.1506]

It's ok for some things in a game to be rare.

[deffy.1320]

Ye it's so rare no1 is even selling it not on that screeny anyways lel, i've never seen the point of being so rare it doesn't exist, the RNG in this game is terrible, take chak egg sac if u want that you have to go outside the game and buy it now thats just plain wrong and anet should've changed that asap, what's the point of barely any1 in the game showing it off.

The helm drop rate is ridiculous and should be changed.

I think most people don't want it for "status" but because it is one of very very few decent looking charr helmet skins in the game.

Maybe they will put another way of getting it easier tomorrow, with the balance patch. Or via pvp/wvw tracks as well, as an accbound endreward

I have you know that there is a new, yes, NEW reward track. Ok, it is bugged and any progress you make resets on daily reset but still. It is NEW!

?. Lies I tell you!! Lies!!

But back on topic, I am not shocked this is the case. We saw the invisible shoes go up in price, with very few ways to get it.

When you actually put some effort and make a decent charr helmet.. then you make it so hard to get that you might as well not bother. Charr feature only.Also wheres the other 2 charr helmets that npc wears?

[MetalGirl.2370]

A lot of things people ask Anet for are out the window. Unfortunately.
