Tukaram.8256 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I did not realize it was ending so soon. Good thing I just got back online... I was off a few days while changing islands. I bought the gems before moving and just got my shared inventory today. I was hoping for the PoF prep kit, but I guess there will be a similar kit for the new expansion? Overall, pretty unimpressed with the sale... but I am not the target demographic... I do not buy skins - for my avatar, backpack, or mount.

I was waiting for the additional crafting licence and the lightbinder blade wings combo to go on sale, guess I'll just keep waiting. Good things that I'm not desperate for any of them, if it never goes on sale, I'll prob just forget about its existence XD The lightbinder was available from the backpack/glider voucher. I suspect they find it's easier to offer the voucher than individual skins when they want to have loads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they find it's easier to offer the voucher than individual skins when they want to have loads up. The voucher's offering price currently at 630 gems is not as cheap as when it was previously sold at 560 gems during the March sale. Too bad I didn't have enough gems when it was on sale few months ago (spent them mostly on account upgrades). It's fine if couldn't snap the lighbinder at a fair price (I could either keep waiting or ignore it), but for the addional crafting licence is what I was waiting for, just not urgent. I've already spread the crafting amongst 3 characters (2 disciplines each), just being too lazy to have a 4th character just for 1 single crafting discipline :persevere: (it was the scribing).

My point remains. Having an item that you release for 24 hours in nearly 2 years is hard to swallow. I still had an emergency at that time. The item really serves no point with the current schedule. It's not making money like this. Maybe they need to release a Black Lions Finisher Voucher? The "gem store unicorns" were not available during the sale. This is disappointing.

Tumult.2578 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Not sure what the point of a "sale" is when the cost of gems quickly increase by about 30%, unless it's to pay more for the same thing. Sure, you can plan ahead and buy gems ahead, like some of us did, but how many do? How many know it's coming? How many even look here, ever? Just sayin a "sale" aint always a deal for everyone so it pays to do the math. An in game upcoming sale system message might be helpful to players.
