This moneygrabbing is getting out of hand

[cursE.1794]

So I would like to buy Kasmeer's staff from the gemstore but it's bound to a bundle. I already have the phoenix glider skin and the bloodstone color I want, so basically you want to make me pay again for something I already have?! Are you kidding me? First this lootbox fiasko with the mount skins where you can't even decide which kind of mount you want to pimp and now you want me to pay 20 bucks just to get an item that costs around 7? No, not like this ArenaNet, you're not getting anything from me that way.

The staff has been sold separately for 600 gems and almost certainly will be again.

 

I can't remember when it was last offered but I'm fairly certain it wasn't long ago, maybe August?

What Danikat said. The staff is sold on its own and will almost certainly be back (alone) at some point.

 

Edit: According to the old forum archive, it was last sold alone in May 2017.

Um, things recur ... just be patient.

I thought if you already purchaced a part of a bundle, you didn't get that bound item a second time and the price was reduced by that amount?

Maybe in this instance things are different.
