Looking at the official wiki this morning I see that todays rewards (16th May) push the zoin count past the 15 gold needed to acquire the Heavy Equipment Pack if you were using a single player only. 24 days 72 challenges. Not something that I did myself (my biggest pack is 10 slots) but did anyone actually do all the involved challenges to get the pack on a single character.?
I think they should start to become more common soon. I have seen a couple for sale but people who play a lot should start to get them soon and people who play casual will be waiting till christmas lol..
Of course there is always the people who could care less and thats fine too.
Just curious.
Heavy Equipment Pack. Possible on a single character from today.

Good for them.

It was possible from the day they made PvP daily repeatable. HA and GvG quests with all bonuses give 350 zcoins.

That would be true assuming that each quest could only be done once per account, and someone was to complete each of those quests to their maximum. Since the PvE quests can each be done once per PvE character, and the PvP quests are repeatable, it would have certainly been possible for someone to have gotten the Heavy Equipment pack before today. Probable, maybe not, but certainly possible before today.

why rush when its obvious they designed it so that you would be grinding all the way until GW2 is released.

I sold one 15-slotter, but now I think I'm just gonna stockpile the coins and wait for some other cool rewards to come out, maybe in the next content update, rather than just converting them into ectos.
Zahr Dalsk
I might buy a pack once they've become common and cheap. However, I don't actually need one, or indeed, even particularly want one.
IronSheik
I have 2 heavys already, 1 from Doing PvE quests on 3 chars, and the rest from HA repeats.

I'll be getting one, though only through my own earned Zcoins, and only through my normal play rate(Which is pretty casual). I don't care enough about anything in GW to bother grinding for it.

I got my first Heavy pack today. I didn't get a single coin from PvP, but I did repeat various missions/bounties on each of my 10 characters, and skipped others. I pretty much ignored every quest that had a reward of under 50 copper, as well as any that would take more than 30-40 minutes to complete. Now what I'm really wondering is if I'll have the drive to get a 2nd heavy pack...
Yichi
got a ten slot pack in 1 day of doing the ha quests. all I need.
dansamy
I haven't done very much of the zquest stuff, but I had enough to get 3 10-slot bags. Truly, most of my characters need only a 10-slot. Only my monk truly requires more than that.
Yawgmoth
I doubt anyone who cared about getting a heavy pack would do it by all quests on 1 char.
Not only there were plenty of far more efficient ways to get the ZCoins, even without touching PvP, also getting a Heavy as your first bag is also a pretty bad idea - Why not go for a Large and 10 Light for all chars on account, or 2 Larges+5 light instead? The Heavy pack is something to do when you already got everything else, a pretty long term goal.

Also, I doubt that anyone who gets the pack today got it because they did all the quests every day.

If, I for example get large pack today, I will be 5 gold zoins shot for heavy bag; that's 20 more days till heavy for me (a bit more with 'having life').
Ofc, I do not 'farm' zoins, but rather take quests as excuse to finish up NM protectors for my secondary chars.
Sword Hammer Axe
I'm getting it. I just play when I feel like it and so far I got 5 gold coins. I don't really care how long it takes anymore. I mean I play to have fun and doing missions are fun I think ^^

If you plan to get 20 slot bags inyour characters, getting the rest just hinder you from getting the bigger ones.
If the items in collectors were the upgrades to transform each bag into the bag of the next size, then people could get the 10 slot bag knwing they can turn it into a 15 slot bag later.
Being fixed that way, getting a 10 slot bag is like getting a an armor with 30 AL when you are level 20 and can get an armor with 60AL, you can't upgrade it, so why get less when you can get the max?
People wont complain so much if the prices were lower, and much less people would complain if they were upgradable.

You really aren't losing that much by upgrading in steps rather than waiting for the largest bag.
You lose out on 1 coin if you get the 10-slotter as soon as you can, rather than waiting until you can spend 5 coins for the 15-slotter. That's only adds 20% longer onto the total time, and in the mean time you do get to enjoy that extra storage, which by itself does have some intangible value in terms of convenience and time saved moving stuff around.

Dante the Warlord
I will need at least 9 zoins to get my 1 large and 4 light - but I am debating over whether I would just go for 6 more to get the heavy. At my rate, i can get 1-2 coins a week - depending on how much free time I get and how many quests are runnable. The UW quests have been a godsend since most of them could have been run in a few minutes letting me do other stuff and the charged blackness was great - 15 minutes for 105 zoins, just in a regular and not meta group. I think this week I spent a solid two hours doing those to get 2 gold coins!
I hope ANET continues to release more quests like that, but i doubt it. So far I have 7.2/9, so im getting there O-o. Heavy packs just don't seem to be getting any cheaper though it seems to level out at 80e, but perhaps it may lower just a little eventually.

One week less I can use it.
Gigashadow
Then it's also 15-30 weeks you don't get to use a smaller bag, while you are waiting.
I accumulate coins at a slow rate too, it'll probably be many months before I get the 15 slotter, so I'm going to get the 10 slotter as soon as I have enough coins.

My Nec needs a Equipment pack of 40 slots.
Got 4 armors+1 on me and various weapons.

I am saving for a heavy pack so I can buy PvP armor for my PvE necro. With a few shield sets, a few different headpeices and the standard 40/40 curses and now 40/40 soul reaping sets, I will need every bit of the 20 slots a heavy provides

Five of my chars have at least four sets of armour. So I'm getting the heavy on those. On the others I might get the large (they're mules). Anyway I'm on 11G zcoins and counting!

I'm gonna work towards a heavy equipment pack on each of my characters. I've already got 1, and that combined with the free storage pane will handle me for quite a while. I figure if I can <b>average</b> 150 copper coins a day, over a year that's 7 heavy packs. And I'm only gonna do the quickie z-quests from now on, or arenas I used to do b4.
If I don't happen to be playing in a year, well I guess I won't need them.

I haven't been grinding them out but have done enough to get 6 gold coins so far. I will get one heavy for my main char so I can clean out one pannel of storage that is full of armor. The rest of my chars will likely get 10 or maybe 15 slot packs.
Since its very simple to farm the small packs in pre you can equip every char with one for free to expand your storage a bit until you farm what you need.

Yawgmoth
Farming small packs in pre = wtf? It's 50 flowers, ~30 minutes, why would anyone want to do that and then spend some more effort transfering them to post when farming 2.5k gold takes a tiny fraction of the time? Or getting 50 bronze coins for a simple zquest.
First thing I did was getting the 10-slots for all my chars and mules, now I'm in the process of getting 15-slots for the more heavily played chars. Seems the most logical way to go, giving most space for least effort. I won't even think of getting a 20-slot for own use before getting a bunch of those, and that's won't happen soon.
