( Pretty please? :) ) The [black Lion Voucher Dealer](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Black_Lion_Voucher_Dealer "Black Lion Voucher Dealer") bug is not blocking you from buying nor using the vouchers. The dealer was only meant to let users preview the wares. If you buy a voucher, just double-click on it to choose the skin you'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but some of us have been waiting for days to hear if the selection of outfits, weapon skins, etc., is going to rotate or not before we buy ANY vouchers. If there is going to be changing selection, I'll buy a 10-pack which is a much better deal per voucher. If there isn't, I'll buy a 5-pack. Until I hear, I'm probably not buying any.

ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted August 24, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted August 24, 2018 The items offered through the Black Lion Vouchers will not be rotated or changed.

It could imply that after September 4th, the Black Lion Vouchers will stop functioning and any vouchers players haven't used yet may become unusable. Please tell me this isn't what you meant.

Rococo.8347 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Im assuming they wont be defunct after the 4th and will be cycled in to the gem store in the 'big' sales, with new items offered. Does anyone know if the voucher prices for the glider and backpack/glider combo are competitive with the usual sale prices for those items?

Alin.2468 Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 So many questions about some strange vouchers. Isn't it better to simply not buy them?! Those outfits/gliders will appear later on in game as better offers for some other special occasions (Halloween, Christmas, New Year, and so on).

Those outfits/gliders will appear later on in game as better offers for some other special occasions (Halloween, Christmas, New Year, and so on). By this reasoning, if one had a bunch of questions about the game, it would be better to just not buy it. This voucher system has not had a good release -- vendor for previews disabled for days, misunderstanding from some/many/?? players how it works or for how long, and so on. Hopefully if ANet does something similar in the future, it's better explained for those of us who don't have gems to throw away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use the Wiki to see the items the NPC has to offer, and use the game links to preview. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just for the vouchers but the mount licenses as well. > > Gayle, twice in her forum updates, mentioned that the items would be available "in the normal way". Awesome if you know what the normal way is. So many people don't know about buying a ticket from the shop then right-clicking it. It took me awhile to figure out what "the normal way" was, and it was only because I was motivated and had time to research it. In the shop it does say right-click to preview, but when you right-click in the shop, nothing happens. It really needs to say that this is for once it's in your inventory. So many people in my guild and map chat have run into that issue and been confused by it. > > **The natural assumption is that if there is a vendor in the game, he is there to sell something. People see that he is deactivated and assume they can't buy any of the things, so they go away with their money still in their pocket.** If it hadn't been for stumbling across this thread, I wouldn't have bought any vouchers after finding the vendor inoperative. At the least, the NPC's message should state more clearly that the entire voucher system is not offline, just the NPC. A lot of lost revenue for ANET due to one text string.

BoMinG.1782 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 in backpack voucher why dont you guys ADD the Rest of backpieces that doesnt have Glider AS example Fire Quiver Etc,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binidj Two.9687 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Will the vouchers be returning? I am not a fan of these temporary things (because I usually don't have the money/inclination to buy until a week after they've gone) but I get that they are a fact of life now. Will I have to wait until next year's anniversary to get the weapon skin (Menzie's Agony) I want? Or is that it forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Only time will tell. I would not be surprised to see them return, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
