What is everyone's opinion on the addition of this collector to pre-searing?
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Nicholas_Sandford
I find it interesting but not exactly an effective way to farm drunk, sweets, and party points ;-) nice way to get at least some point items in pre that is not strictly limited to farming weekends.

its nice have way get party pts etc, and its nice it has 5 gifts/day limit so cant be overfarmed.
Also its allways nice have some new content atleast on pre-sear when so many ppl waited for someting like that.

I think its a nice surprise for the Pre Searing community. Also Professor Yakkington is probably the coolest Yak ever.

I agree, think it's a nice addition. Let's hope for more nice things to come in this month's update...

I think it's a nice addition. I don't spend much time in Pre, but I still like it. I also think it's interesting that he's a level 20 NPC, wonder what that foretells.
On a side note, it would be nice to have collectors like this in Post Searing as well so you could get fireworks and other goodies year round.

I think it's a pleasant addition for the pre-searing community. However I have to laugh at the way they held back with skill balances so due to stretched resources but they added this content instead.

skill updates meh, they can be caught up on. Now a Yak in pre-searing, that's the cat's meow!

Am I the only one that thinks this is a reference to Hot Fuzz? Main character, Nicholas Angel, in the town of Sandford. Think about it.

i agree! makes me wish i hadnt left pre so quickly lol. but not enought to reroll a char just for that. and it makes me wonder if they can add that but a few skill updates. or even what him being in pre at that lvl and with a yak means.

yay for farming titles!

however, there are no collectors for party points in post*---hope they put one of them in, would really help with my party titles.
just got my first 5 jars of honey, yummmmm
(*except during festivals and special weekends, or from the snowman dungeon)
when is the eater bunny gonna get here. (got my easter basket yesterday with all the yummy chocolates and a cute plush bunny from the hubby from godiva.....and got some new shoes today...only need a nice new dress and I am set).

I think that it encourages perma-pre characters. But it's not a bad idea to add him. A nice little gift for those that have already had perma-pre characters for awhile.

Thx for the reply Regina. Hopefully that'll straighten out some of the ignorance floating around.
Oh and this...

Thank you Regina for posting!
It's good to see that Pre-Searing has gotten some love, since so many players have been asking for renovations. Of course, this will also probably encourage many players to buy a character slot
*Awaits April Update*

I hope you mean with your last post that also the skill update will be very big?
Spiritz
Im sure some new and old players will agree with me - was a good idea to add him.
At least now in pre new players do have a chance to earn some money - money at start in pre has always been difficult and it may cut down on the usual cry in chat - can anyone give me money lol.
So a small addition within gw but a good 1 in my books - Regina let the staff know some of us do appreciate the addition and ty.

Nice surprise addition to Pre, Nick is a nice model and the Prof is great!

Now I just need to make a new pre-character! Nice update A-Net!

I just hope that the April update is not for pre.

I hope it means Ritualists will finally get a buff instead of incessant nerfs.
How about making Spirits mobile, or giving Spawning Power a tangible effect?

Nice that they added in a new model they had just sitting around.
Makes me think the April update will be all the better.

I think it is one of the best parts to pre searing ascalon and fort ranik will finally see a few people now too.
I have been in and out of fort ranik farming the odd skale for a long time and most days euro english district 1 is empty at least i can talk to some people now

I actually like the new collector, it gives me an excuse to go back and enjoy the beauty of pre-searing without feeling like I'm wasting my time.

If Anet just keeps adding small things like this, I could hold onto Guild Wars until Guild Wars 2. Small fun stuff like this is awesome ;D

Yaks for GW2 as pets please...

The addition is a big plus I think and hopefully the 5 gift limit a day and rotating collectors item are ideas to be used for the future (maybe even April in post??)
a) New players can now get decent cash for the 3g collectable items to help them start off
b) Means the perma have a true source of getting the consumable titles without having to just go mad on weekends
c) Controls the prices of consumables in pre from going silly and hopefully discourages people from trying to buy off the unaware cheap to sell leter for much more.
Like Lindsay said, I expected this was one of the first additions that was made and well before any skill updates for the month would have been considered anyway. To suggest the skill updates were put back because of this is kind of silly.
It will be interesting to see the effect on the pre/post gold trades by this new npc.

Props to Regina for the passive burn.

Hmm.. Should be pretty easy to 'abuse' I think.
1. Farm tons of crap.
2. Have a lot of accounts.
3. Turn in 5 things a day per account.
Looking at it in that perspective, should make it a decent bit easier to work on certain titles, assuming you have several accounts.

1) Farming "tons of crap" isnt that easy in pre, its not like raptor farming. Ive been getting 2-3 baked husks per run today, so that would need 10 runs just for 1 char. If you really are into soul destroying farming it could be possible to farm 250 a day I suppose, but to do that every day.. I think there are much easier ways to earn more cash than that.
2) anet love people with lots of accounts as it means more money for them.
3) you can turn in 5 things per day per char, therefore on a normal proph only account, you could have 4x5 things per day per account.

There is another level 20 NPC in pre-searing, Captain Osric is level 20.
