Make the Chomper Great Again

This is true. But, in this case I think there is more to it than that. For starters the Unicorn Chomper is being waved in peoples faces, either by an empty pot or by the various promotion announcements that are now very out of date. (Is it that hard to take them down, or is that too much work?)

Second, it was listed as a "loyalty" reward. So for those of us who purchased GW1, played hundreds of hours, or even reach 313 outside the promotion, it is a slap in the face. As if to say, Sorry, if you didn't do exactly as we asked you are not loyal. Could have easily called it a bonus, but they chose "loyalty".

My other issue is how it belittles people who earned rank 313 out of desire to reach 313. EA listed the promotion and advertised it for a year, putting bait on the hook to get players who otherwise wouldn't care about 313 to reach it. How many stories are there of people begrudgingly reaching 313 and saying how much they hated it. That isn't how you reward people. In fact, it is that frustration that is often cited as the reason the Unicorn Chomper cannot be offered any other way. (It would make a mockery of the work people put in to get it.) Not that everyone even put in the work, I wonder just how many Unicorn Chompers were bought on Ebay. (The process took minutes, they could process 30+ in a day.) Regardless how they got it, players can't even show it off, unless they play Unicorn Chomper all the time. As one person put it, they only play as it until they get bored. But, with 5455 levels to earn and each variant capping at 50, it is no wonder people aren't playing as it. (It will be months before I cap everything and get to a point I can play as variants I like.)

I say again, (from another thread) it should have been a hat like Gnomish Perspective. Legendary ranked, maybe a fun GW1 animation/sound effect, and usable by all variants and classes. That way people could show off their accomplishment every match they play. More importantly, it wouldn't be a playable variant. I can assure everyone here that if it were a cosmetic I wouldn't be upset. Heck, I played the Unicorn Chomper, mastered it, and found it boring. But, I now have an empty diamond lined pot mocking me every time I go into the stat room. For me personally I'm sure the frustration over the Unicorn Chomper will eventually fade. But, I will pray to Crazy Dave that they do not do a promotion for 5455 in GW3. (At least not a variant)
