UniChomp Opinion & Solution!
This is in response to seeing what I heard at the end of the recent 'Live from Popcap' stream and what I've seen being talked about in the forums.
I'm assuming the only reason they are considerin...

It was their reward now being offered to everyone. POPCAP decided to acknowledge maxing your rank as an achievement even though it doesn't show up in your trophy list with the others and reward players. Since those players did not ask or expect anything for their efforts no one can.
POPCAP took the time to reskin the chomper and give it magic when they didn't have to just like those players did not have to max their rank. That is the value of the UniChomper, even if it had 25 HP. Some players will never appreciate it because they only care about increasing their precious rank in GW2 and toss it aside.
I feel like for some people it'll just be more on the sides of those who are just compulsive to max out everything and then never use what they hate again. Like "ugh I finally got this stupid chomper to Master rank, now to never use him again." It goes right with the appreciation thing you mentioned. Some see it as a reward for their work and something they have, the few who earned it. When it becomes available to everyone it just becomes something else to level, to some.
I edited my comment a few times, but that is exactly how I feel. Until people stop looking at the UniChomper like its another pair of socks, I'm not willing to change my stance or compromise.
@IronCatFish47and that is why my stance is the same. For people who want it because the ranking was tough in GW1, I say oh well. It was no easier for us, but we did it. It's a unicorn chomper for a reason. It becomes available to all, it may as well be a rainbow albino chomper. Take the horn off, cuz it's not as rare as a unicorn anymore.
