Ranking in gw2 is actually rewarding with skill unlocks so you need to do it, to suggest that if you didn't rank in gw1 you wont want to in gw2 is as stupid as your comment, shoo be off with you.
@leebbuk accidentally granted xp for that post when I meant to hit reply. Your post completely ignored the topic and it seems like you don't understand the principle at all. It has nothing to do with the "me, me, me" attitude, if anything the people who want the Unicorn Chomper handed to them are the ones with that attitude. This was a REWARD FOR LOYAL PLAYERS. That's what it has always been labeled as. For people to say "go back on your word now just so I can have something and be included". This has been advertised as a loyalty reward from the start. What does foresight have to do with it? There's no reason that releasing Unicorn Chomper as a Hero Showcase character periodically isn't a fair solution to the issue.
I 100% believe that ANYONE should be able to hit max rank, but I don't think others should be given a reward for free that others have worked for and are continuing to work for now simply so that they can feel included. I stand by that 100%. I don't care what level I am, if I want the Unicorn Chomper I will grind the first game out to get it because it really isn't that hard. Don't want to do the challenges? Play, save coins, use skip challenge stars. The leveling system in Garden Warfare 1 really isn't as challenging as you make it sound. They basically give you the option between doing challenges or just playing the game for a certain amount of time. It literally doesn't get any simpler than just playing the game to level up. If you don't want to grind for it like everyone else, then you probably don't want it bad enough anyway. There's no reason you shouldn't have to do what the people who have it now did to get it.
Bottom line, I don't think anyone should be given something that was specifically given out to loyal players. And that has nothing to do with what rank I am or anyone else. It has to do with what the character was designed around and what the character was intended to be. I don't have any legendary characters from packs after spending 21 million coins and I'm not begging for them to be handed to me. I will do what everyone else did and play the game and spend coins on packs until I unlock one. It's the same principle.
