Well, all I can see is I'm a gambler and I had way too many reward points.

I was hoping for a new skin really; not one I could just get by buying it off people.

Whoever thought it would be funny for the chest to toss out creme brulees needs a swift kick in the arse. You listening Anet??? You could at least toss out stupid/silly/useless weapons, like mixed attribute caster weapons, but creme brulee?

Thats a big F-you to a lot of players who go in to try out your PvP. It's bad enough the psychotic flamers and team-quitters you have to put up with in there.

You are kidding right? An F-you??? This is just a BONUS for PvP points...for over 2 years nobody got any rewards of this type at ALL for balth points. Now we get a chest and you consider it an insult that it's not good enough by your standards? Get over it, grab a spoon and eat your yummy sugar lol. Try PvP for fun's sake sometime, not to get stuff....

So... Tyrian/Factions skins that were once not inscribable now are? Meaning... ALL weapons are now inscribable, depending on where you get them?

Awesome.

For fun's sake? Ratio of fun minutes to crappy minutes in PvP for a lot of people, especially new guys, ironically resembles the Zaishen chest drops. And I'm not just defining "fun" as "winning".

New PvPers face the PvP equivalent of the "crappy PUG in PvE" problem; random arena has a ridiculously high population of flaming arseholes. I don't mean noobs - I'm a PvP noob myself - but people who just run around cussing people out and throwing hissy fits without offering any constructive advice. You say, hello, they say "shut up". You can see the same sort of behavior in the build threads on here, full of "stfu noob! you can't play <insert class here>! only people who suck use <skill>! What happened to just playing a game and having fun?

So I trudge through all that. Basically learn how to do what I need to be doing, so we're winning more often than not. I have access to the team arena, but that's pointless because no one wants a relative noob on their team.

I'm still learning, and it's something to do when I'm bored of doing other stuff, at least. But, the chest; they might as well do away with the consumables and just have a big jack in the box pop up holding a "HAHAHA YOU LOSE!" sign. They could put all manner of worthless stuff in there for the "bad" drops, but the creme brulee just seems to be rubbing it in. It's like getting coal in your stocking. Just look at all the replies in this thread that have some flavor of "screw that, I'm never doing that again".

So.. summing up, PvP has -
- a higher than average amount of hyperactive foul mouthed 14 year olds
- fewer people actually interested in working together (you'd think the opposite)
- faction that can be used to unlock stuff, which is pointless to a PvE player who already has access to that stuff anyways
- faction that can be used for chest keys that make you certain some game dev somewhere is laughing at you.

I saw some video of game devs once talking about how they wanted to make PvP a large part of the gameplay - they're certainly not going out of their way to draw anyone in.

3 keys, 3 foods.
