Feedback:User/Agaetis Ros/One-time pre-purchase items

First I would like to thank Arenanet for rewarding players dedication to the game. I appreciate the idea that this love relationship is mutual, and I hope it will last forever. I love the idea of having special items rewarding my time spent on GW1 (HOM). I also love the idea of having special items for helping Arenanet by pre-purchasing the game and participated to the BWE to provide invaluable feedback about the current state of the game. However I have a kind of “never enough” feeling concerning some of these items. The special elite skill, the hero's band and the miniature are fine, because (as far as I understood) I will be able to use them as many times as I want. However the golem banker, chalice of glory and tome of influence are one-time bonuses. I do not see the point of one-time bonuses as a reward for pre-purchasing the game. Why not providing items we can use forever? I think these items should be souvenirs of this era, that we would be proud of in 5 years. Just like the HOM items.

I see several problems with my request:

  • items have been announced and players bought the game knowing that they would receive this. There may be legal issues of changing them.
  • changing one-time use to any-time use will give too much power to these items.
  • unbalance the game between users

I have suggestions regarding that:

  • for instance the golem banker could be used once a month or something like that
  • keep the same items, but change the effects
  • give more cosmetic items (minipets, skins, dyes)
