RUX SUCKS
How about giving us items we don't already have Rux used to do that but nooo Rux is a stingy * *!
Forum Discussion
Four of the Five items offered from RUX's new visit are ones I already have at that point. The only item I didn't have at that point was Bling Iron Maiden. This particular visit from RUX is catastrophically terrible. No joke.
I think the dev team is being too used to offering us items we already have as a community, so realistically, they should offer items based on the individual player's requests, rather than just for the whole community. If they can do that, the dev team will offer us those items by our request. We - the community - need to list those specific items by our individual request, and I have a few ideas on what the next RUX visit will be, by my request:
1. RUX-Exclusive Legendary Hat for the Peashooter Class as part of the FLF DLC
2. Legendary Consumable - DJ Uplink x10
3. Multi-Shuck for the Corn class
4. Legendary Hat for the Rose Class
5. Random Classic GW1 Item
Well, here's the thing. Were we to poll 50 players for their choice of the five Rux slots, we would get 50 different answers. As I already stated, no matter WHAT Rux brings, lots of people are going to be unhappy and complain.
I too was only able to buy the one item. I took the million coins I had left over to the sticker shop and got three legendary hats. When life hands you lemons, and so on.
I'm not suggesting we poll 50 players, I'm suggesting that everyone playing GW2 should select the ones they're interested in, or the ones they need, from their perspective. It's better than just showing the same five random items selected by the dev team that are in turn seen by everyone.
What on earth are you talking about? Rux this week was the best delivery from the developers so far. 5 items at once? They should do it again next month... I hope it has Roses healing enigma and the all star tackle shield.

Well first off, one of the main premises of Rux, in fact the main premise, is that he offers you items you don't already have. This premise has been abandoned to a small degree in recent visits, and altogether this time. Lots of people are upset about this.
Second, I think it is safe to say that a large percentage of players have neither gathered 2.5M coins on hand to spend nor the time to do so, so offering all of these items at once is almost cruel to the average player. When Rux brought three abilities several months ago, it was a big stretch for most of those interested in the abilities to grind up 1.5M. I managed to do it, but it took some work, and ever since then I've made sure to have 1.5M on hand for a Rux appearance.
I'm glad you and everyone else got the opportunity to get these abilities. But I'll stand by my statement that it's not likely going to please the bulk of the player base, which is all I said. To take a slice of the player base opinion, a thread on the reddit sub entitled "screw you rux" has 71 replies, compared with 19 replies for another thread called "count your blessings" complaining about the first thread.
I made no complaint, despite only being offered one item I don't already have. I'm a happy man this week. Long live Bling Johnny.
