Unfortunately, you're probably right....

Linsey Murdock is running one last build before bed. Spawns, I'll see YOU in the morning. Right where we left off. Oof I'm tired... (March 25th)

Linsey Murdock is liking how this stuff is developing...[link to Obey/Dismantle article] (March 23rd)
So, there's a chance it may not be terrible. I'm trying not to get my hopes up. Honestly, if it's as good as last year's anniversary content additions, I'll be pleasantly surprised.

If it's all summoning stones and costumes, I'll just sit out for a while.

Ooze Everlasting Summoning Stone

You summon an Ooze companion for 10 minutes with your current skill bar and attributes set to 12. Consumes 1 skill point.

And a tied idea: Relics

Infinite-use items that consume skill points for personal, temporary benefits. All give 10 minutes of summoning sickness, and you can't use them while under that effect.

Norn Trophy:
For 10 minutes, your Norn skills are boosted to maximum power. Whenever you miss with an attack, you gain 1 adrenaline. Consumes 1 skill point.

Asura Doodad:
For 10 minutes, your Asura skills are boosted to maximum power. Whenever a spell you cast is interrupted, you regain the energy, and it recharges 50% faster.

Ebon Commendation:
For 10 minutes, your Ebon Vanguard skills are boosted to maximum power. You gain +5 to your primary attribute (max 15).

Dwarven Stein:
For 10 minutes, your Dwarven skills are boosted to maximum power. whenever you take damage more than 10% of your health, it is halved. This effect can only be triggered once every 5 seconds.

That's quite a neat idea! Just need balancing. More good ways to use excessive skillpoints is much needed and in this solution you cannot just farm massive amounts of them on one character to benefit all others with them. This can make them an actual resource on secondary characters that don't farm and at the same time offers them a great but fair boost to the PvE skills.

Balancing issues: Norn Trophy, Asura Doodad and Dwarven Stein offer fairly minor bonuses outside the skills boost, but Ebon Commendation's +5 to primary attribute effect is absurdly overpowered and would change the way many builds are constructed, making this a must have consumable for many many builds, so nerf to +2 imho.

Now just the means of obtaining, imho they should be either tradeable rare drops from appropriate dungeons OR untradable free for any character who got to rank10 in appropriate title, usable on whole account.

PvE-only skills and Consumables already wrecked the foundation GW was built on. I sure don't want nor need more of them.

Wow, 21 expertise would pretty much drop a 10e skill down to 2 energy. And of course +5 soul reaping and leadership would just be sick. And +5 fast casting would be....well.....still a worthless primary attribute...

A REAL content update. Involving a reworking of all PvE aspects to make it rewarding without grinding,involving things like making dungeon chests much better. On top of this,good skill updates for dervish and paragons.

But nevermind that,only stuff probably worthwhile will be the cupcakes. Omnomnom.

An update making gameplay rewarding in itself (better dungeon chests,higher gold rate in general etc.). Help dervishes and paragons. Update/balance crappy skills.

Hmmm no. Useless. And costs a skill point (...wtf)

Interrupts in PvE are serious business.

Yeaaah. Boost the primary attribute, who cares some of them are useless...

Again, useless. The second you get hit for a lot of damage (60+ if you have 600 hp), a monk should (a hero will) cast PS/SB and you wasted time using Dwarven Stein.

The Birthday Celebration is only a weekend long, if I remember. I would expect it to start this Friday afternoon and go until some time on Tuesday.
