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.

Count me among that number. I'll be getting the large packs. 45 slots > 20. I have 2 so far.

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

And that's the only sane way people have gotten everlasting fireworks already.

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'm pretty happy with my 10-slot packs on every character.

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.

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.

Hmm good point. The zoins are something that a.net could expand on if they want to.

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.

That's why he said "if you only did the quests on one character."

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...

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.

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.
