Yeah. Well, this was kinda expected, and since American Thanksgiving (which is the inspiration for this event, before anybody from Europe, etc asks) is on a Thursday EVERY year, we can even predict precisely when this event is going to occur ever year.

A shame there is no new party points item as well (or maybe there is but they are just keeping it secret till the event).
And I still wish pumpkin pie was useful to casters somehow (ie, give it an attack bonus and a spell casting time bonus).
Hmmm... I still have a few stacks of grog to drink and Wintersday lasts for like 3 weeks so... I'm spending the time studying for exams instead. Everybody else who needs it, enjoy the event.

What do you mean? "Skill activation times are reduced by 25%." That's not helpful to casters?

Hmm... yeah your right. Thought it was JUST an attack speed boast and was suggesting it get a cast time boast.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in Jaga Moraine, butchering vaettirs....

Ty Anet, I really dont have a jillion dollars to spend on my sweet tooth title so weekends like this are ftw! Also, I'm Canadian, so I've got no pesky family business getting in the way lol.

If anyone would like to see the run or is dying of boredom and looking to chat at 4am this weekend, my IGN is A Darker Shade Of

Happy Hunting

Time to farm more Raptors and buy more pies.

You'd think I'd be more focused on finals, eh?

Time to switch from "quality > quantity" farming back to "quantity > quality". Perfect excuse to work on titles and make some money, especially considering in the next few days I'll be buying Obsidian armor, sinking me into the poorest category of GW players.
