Berelious.3290 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I'm loving the birthday gifts, and I can't thank ANet enough for the goodies! That being said, for next year I had an idea. How about a set of special permanent harvesting tools? Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 So far they've only given us cosmetic things and boosters/consumables as birthday gifts. Whilst it seems unlikely anyone would consider being given free gathering tools after 8 years an unfair advantage over saving up gold to buy them (which I'm pretty sure even without farming would take less than 8 years) it also seems unlikely Anet would want to break the pattern and start giving actual items as birthday gifts.

Konig Des Todes.2086 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 As Danikat says, they've only given cosmetic stuff for the account based gifts, while simple boosters and dyes for character gifts. I could see them giving us a choice of gathering tool _skins_ for 8th, 9th, and 10th. Though I doubt anyone would complain if they came as unbreakable skins, I just don't see ArenaNet as the company currently stands doing so. But when it comes to cosmetics, the things we don't yet have options for are: * Outfit * Novelty: Tonic * Novelty: Instrument * Novelty: Toy * Novelty: Held item * Gathering tools (x3) * Glider * Mounts (x8) * Trinkets * Aquatic helm/weapons I don't see the last four ever becoming a thing, but the rest are possibilities. > @"Inculpatus cedo.9234" said: > I wouldn't say no to a Knife Tail Hunting Bond.

That would be a waste, since people would reskin them anyway in order to use the fastest tools. I'd rather get a really cool classic fantasy outfit for hunters, like these: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/53789/suggestion-hunters-outfit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

draxynnic.3719 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 > @"Konig Des Todes.2086" said: > Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlocks not good enough for you? :o To be fair... I'm currently holding on to my Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlocks until I can complete the slow process of getting all the cheap stuff unlocked (example: crafting a bunch of bronze weapons the other day since the wardrobe didn't exist when I initially leveled crafting, and collecting a couple of sets of karma weapons a week or so ago). If you don't have all the cheap stuff unlocked, a Guaranteed Wardrobe Unlock could land you with something that's worth coppers or a few thousand karma - basically nothing, in other words. Knife Tail Contracts, on the other hand, are guaranteed to get you something black lion exclusive, which probably means something that's _at least_ worth a few gold. So I can definitely see people valuing the contracts more than a guaranteed unlock, depending on what's already in their wardrobe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Interesting idea. ANet could offer gathering tool _skins_, without any tools. Those skins can still be applied to ordinary tools, getting past the "cosmetic only" restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus Godrik.5841 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I think a full set of mount skins would be great. They can use the theme of the 6th year armor skin. And if you dont have pof then there is an incentive to buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenom.9457 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 I would say glider, outfit, and other novelty slots are most likely in the next handful of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mil.3562 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I wouldn't mind if we get another exclusive chair skin but this time please let us sit on it with a different posture from the other chairs. I need to sit down and rest after my squad constant running away from enemy blobs (or get wiped) in WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaoda.1653 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I'd personally like to see more freebies on special occasions. For example, wouldn't it be nice of Anet to give players a free name change contract every, say, 2 years? Or in birthday gifts that are over 6 or 7 years old? It would also be nice to be able to trade in old dye packs from birthday gifts because most of us have already unlocked every possible dye from them, and then they just sit in the bank wasting away. Or at least add new dyes to the old packs, to keep them relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPMN.1483 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I would like the T-shirt with an infinity symbol on it, with a GW2 dragon logo on the back. The number 8 turned on its side is an infinity symbol -). GW2 forever :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres My Mtn Dew.7109 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 wardrobe unlocks are great but when you get a plain old dye from it, I would have to say that it is pretty sucktacular IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean gliders that match the city themes of the birthday back packs. For example, a Black Citadel themed glider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 2 sites I know of which show your wardrobe * gw2efficiency.com You can use filters on your wardrobe to show what you don’t have, what they cost and how they are acquired. * [[Wardrobe Unlock Analyzer]](http://immortius.net.au/wardrobe-unlock-analyser/#browse) This is also very useful. You’ll need to get an API code which you can get from gw2efficiency. I used these sites and bought all the karma items and all the cheap items below a certain gold price. It costs a bit to do that but once it’s done you’ll be getting higher value items from your wardrobe unlocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
