No free key ):
4
I'm guessing it's the same one that they offered last week.
11
i think it's the same key that was free last week. 1 per acct.
2
Well, darn. Got my hopes up for a free key.
2
I know, I need another mystery tonic to go with the other 300
1
Yeah, its nice of them to give away another free key, but I don't see it either.
1
It would be nice if they gave away a free key every once in a while or included one with the monthly. I doubt it would hurt their profits much and it would get rid of some of the ~5.5 million on the TP.
1
Nice of them to drop a reminder about the gems to gold exchange ratio. :P I'm dirt poor in Tyria and recently bought a bunch of gems, which I intend on using on items, thank you very much. Don't remind me, ANet.

Kitty!

Horribly proportioned kitty!
7
Bobblehead kitty*
2
I was excited for an orange kitty, my cats irl are all ginger! But it looks awful :(
1
Orange tabby cat from hall of monuments ftw! I also have a ginger cat, they're the best !
1
If you are interested in buying the orange kitten, don't forget about the original! (Hall of Monuments reward.)
4
why would they advertise 50 gold for about 720 gems...
3
Gems -> Gold, not Gold -> Gems - It's a much worse conversion ratio
1
Hoped they'd add the bloody prince outfit for this week. Ah well next week hopefully. :)
2
I want them to bring the Phantom's Hood out <.<
1
You can't wear it with Mad King like you used to be able to, but it still looks awesome with various armors :P
1
I know thats precisely why I want it.
1
Yeah, I'm waiting for that one too.
1
Currently, you can get 10 gold for about 145 gems and 50 gold for about 720 gems!
That didn't happen for a few months though!
2
"and More" meaning 'and overpriced, under-refined minipet'.
2
Is the mad king outfit a potion or armor skin?
1
It's a costume. You can wear it over your armor but you can't mix&match.
6
You can disable the Mad King Helm to show your actual head (Looks hilarious on a Charr), but unfortunately you can't mix and match :(

It would be really cool if the Llama was hinting at background fauna of season 2's expanding into Maguma jungle.
1
The real-world llama is a South American creature, and the Tarnished Coast certainly has some design influences from that region of the world. So that wouldn't be unreasonable.

Dry Top as an analogue of Machu Picchu, and a dig site revealing an ancient above ground Asuran colony would be cool.

Still didnt get mine from the tournament o legends

This is the top post already.

Now... if only they'd release some content instead of more gem store things.
EDIT: Love the down votes for a dissenting opinion, thanks for using reddit correctly!
-16
In the last year they released 23 content patches.
You should try other MMOs that only give you one or if you're lucky 2 patches a year and put mounts in their cash shops every month lol. And charge a sub fee.
13
As someone who has and does spend money in their gem shop on a regular basis ($20/mo usually), I think you are missing my point. They've not released that much tangible content. Fractals, EoTM, some minor improvements to WvW, improvements to the UI/Achievements, one dungeon path, several jumping puzzles, and the very recent improvements to sPvP. If I hadn't participated in the game, coming in from the perspective of a new player, I would not know they had any of the living story patches in the game. I don't think it is unreasonable to want more content that remains in the game.
3†
I bet I clocked close to 1000 hours on what you are calling intangible content and judging from the masses of players I see everywhere playing it, I'm not the only one that considers it tangible.
That's why you are getting downvotes. They do release content, plenty of it. Whether it's content you enjoy or not has no bearing on the fact that they have issued more content patches than any MMO on the planet. It seems you just wanted to roll your opinion about the content up in a snarky remark about the gemstore.
4†
It is tangible while it is in the game, but when it is gone it is gone. The story aspect I can appreciate, but when they make such good content (they do make good content) and have it disappear after, it just seems like they're wasting man-hours. I understand the logistics of a "living world" prevent them from leaving some of their content in the game, but they should be concerned with adding more to their game that doesn't go away with the next chapter of their story. I too have spent my fair share of time with the living story: I've completed, probably, 95% of the living story metas that they've done, easily hundreds of hours.
4
And by tangible you mean shit you'll play for a week and then never touch again? If Bazaar, Pavilion, or SAB was still in the game it would be dead. Whereas if they keep it limited and bring it back every now and then, it will be packed every time.

FFXIV has put out two major content patches in 6 months, not to mention the minor QoL patches in between, and they're working on the third. The total content added has surpassed everything GW2 has done.

Nah, in fact, I'll continue to spend my money in their gem shop, I support ANet, I just want more content that I would enjoy and less of the fluff that is "living story."
1†
Living story isn't fluff. Its the game. People need to accept this and stop acting like its something they can whine about until it goes away. The past year has been spent restructuring the company to better produce living story content. If its not for you, that's fine, leave. But there are plenty who think the model is amazing and want it to stay

Wait a minute. I don't pay a sub. How dare they now I can't cancel it in protest.

This is an automated message from the ArenaNet Team*:
"Thank you for your concern about our content. Unfortunately, our Content-Shooting Ray Gun is currently malfunctioning. We have our top engineers (and Scarlet's voice actress) on the job working to repair it, and they estimate that they will finish sometime in the next few weeks.
Until then, please be patient. Or don't. Your complaining certainly isn't going to make us develop any quicker."

I see you're one of those types of people that takes a comment on the internet personally. Thanks for the downvotes, though.
-1†
Nah, I just enjoy correcting people who think that yelling at a developer to work faster is going to make them work faster.
-6
Actually, it tends to, if the developer is slacking off.
-- A developer.
1†
"Correcting" an opinion-based statement is basically just you being a twat. You clearly don't understand how tone works on the internet, you may want to stop being so arrogant.
-1†
Telling us not to forget that you can convert gems to gold? With exact figures of how many gems get you 50 gold?
Is that some kind of response to all the gold selling spam?
Yea probably was brought up due to the seemingly large increase of gold sellers in game.
while GW2 may not have suffered due to heartbleed, seems like a LOT of people broke the first rule of passwords: never use the same one twice.
There was also a post a few days ago saying that it appears all of gamestop's gw2 e-codes have been compromised.
