1.7.5 Content Update (75561)

[Ruby!!!]

First of all thank you for the new load screen. Love it!

Now Xmas... I think for the majority of players this Xmas event is a great deal. You pay 4 plat (you can easily earn with tapjoy) and get two vanity hats, an awesome vanity armor and two random Xmas drops. I bet most ppl don't care much if their funny looking candle wands are green or pink. So I assume most players are really happy with the update.
Even merchants with 1000 last year Xmas items in their stash should be happy about the new gear. 2010 item will skyrocket now - and I think the new items are a reaction to this year's Halloween rage.

But for me as a non merching mass consumer the pay per run model is just to expensive to spend much time. I spent some plat plat for dotd, vanity packs, entry and luck elixirs. My level 10 has a pink wand and bracer now and I had some pink and purple bycatch. But I think I wont do the same for my 15s and 20s - it's just not fun enough. The plat entry makes things so very serious - in pugs everyone rushes the boss no matter where the rest of the team is to make sure to leave map with a drop. So password protected small group runs it is. And ending up paying 2 plat to solo a map isn't my idea of jolly Xmas fun Oo

So thank you for the town decoration, new drops, new and old vanities. I like the holiday content but I wont spend as much time with it as I thought I would.

Edit: Just an idea... Just like the free daily elixir how about 1 free boss kill in each map a day? This way everyone could get some Xmas experience

Nice idea, even just once per account or toon would allow people to at least participate in a small way.

sweet idea.
