Replace Macabre Tonic?

I have talked to quite a few people, and have seen the results in-game with the macabre EL tonic selling for 100k-this tonic is ugly and very few people like it. Not sure if this is an easy thing to do, or what it would do as far as the cost of the already existing el macabres, but i doubt it would be a huge impact.

Maybe replace that month's tonic with....

EL Kanaxi, Aatxe... Ghostly Hero?

Or maybe add the above in there as a random EL - same as sinister or transmogrifer.

Why would you want to do away with one of my favorite tonics?

/notsigned, no matter what you'd replace it with.

Just because it isn't some glowing super "leet" looking monster that 13 year olds would like, doesn't mean it's a bad tonic.

Should we remove all bone dragon staffs because they have a heart, which being represenative of gore concerns many parents?

reading your post was a huge wast of my time; not only was it off-topic, it was dumb as hell. criticize or agree, but don't put in useless banter.

Aww, don't be a poor sport. We're only showing you how this idea is rather bad.

Oh yea - /notsigned.

"quite a few people" is not everyone. Even if you had talked to EVERYONE and they ALL agreed with you, I don't think Anet would change it. It isn't needed, and SOMEONE will like it, so why would you get more pull than the people who like it.

Yeah, no.

How about instead of doing away with it, just add some new ones like the ones mentioned? Then everyone's happy.

If your neighbors car was ugly would you call up the car dealership and tell them to make a different car?
Don't like something don't buy it, that's how the world works...

Anyone else think he must read REALLY slow if that was a huge waste of his time?

I like the Macabre tonic.. kinda funny when you move around as one

P.S. Sorry if that's a bigger waste of time to read than "/sign"

I like this thread because it isn't another stupid joke thread. There are probablu more of those on the main page then are are serious suggestions.

@OP. Unless you surveyed 95+% of the population, you can't really make a judgement on what people like and don't like. /notsigned.

actually, when the dealership sees that noone wants to pay much at all for a certain model car, or it is not wanted, they stop selling it and make another.

Actually i sat in spamadan and ToB for a while asking how many ppl got one, how many ppl even like it, etc. I won't just randomly throw something out there on a whim, i'll ask first.

either way, thanks for the input guys, I was just curious

It is Ugly

Most of the tonics are ugly, and i think we could use some new suggestions since anet is half *ssing tonics.

Personally i would like to see a togo tonic.


Wait ...What's that?

OHHH ....of COUrse you would have dragon empire rage as an emote.

The only way I'd agree with the removal of any monthly tonic was if all monthly tonics are removed and replaced. Though I'd rather have no change at all.

In other words, /notsigned floating heads are nice

It's horrible. It should have never existed. But it does. Now you can't remove it, only add more. Period.

Easy:

If you don't like it, don't buy it.

It's not one of I like the most, but EL Kanaxai or EL Ghostly Hero will f*** (even more) the GW trades. I'm imagining it:

w.t.s Mini Zippy. C/O: 5 EL Kanaxai.

Please, NO.

/notsign, of course.

Instead I think they should use the actual in game model for the awakened head instead of the one they have on the tonic. No need to get rid of it.

I actually like the tonic and am probably about to buy one.

On a side note, where have you seen them for 100k? I can't find one for less than 35e.
