I am a huge armor freak and i heard from a lot of people that coffer of whisper contains a key that gets you to an area to buy diamond armor. Well I spend all my gold I have to get a Margonite Gemstone 30k, Stygian Gemstone 50k, Torment Gemstone 70k, and Titan Gemstone 100k + 80ectos. When i finally got all gemstones i was so happy. i go to rewards guy get the coffer (so excited) double clicks coffer(still excited) and gets.... A ***** BEEP BEEP ***** SCROLL and the funny thing is i play guild wars to relieve anger and this doesn't help 1 bit. I am so pissed off. i want a refund.

So.. let's see... basically, you've spent 250k and 80 ectos on an XP scroll? Good job man. ^____^

That is the biggest load of crap i have ever seen Anet... well thanks for finding it out.. my guess would be there is a 99.995322123 chance it will be an xp scroll ... but there is that 0.004677877 chance it could be something else.

Dude, stay away from bridges and other high places.

tknorris · Dec 07, 2006, 12:56 AM // 00:56

Wow, that really does suck...

Oh, and that's the STRANGEST UI layout I've ever seen! Are you VERY interested in when you'll get your next skill point?

GODh · Dec 07, 2006, 01:08 AM // 01:08

I think the prices for gemstones will drop now... to 100g each or so :P

Arkantos · Dec 07, 2006, 01:09 AM // 01:09

Ouch.

Apple · Dec 07, 2006, 01:10 AM // 01:10

It's your own fault for buying stuff when the price is hideously inflated.

Racthoh · Dec 07, 2006, 01:10 AM // 01:10

10 minutes of triple exp vs. 10 minutes of double, worth 800 gold instead of 400... one time use only... wow, I never thought they would make a worse reward than the 50 Jade Orbs for those quests during the Dragon Festival.

Rera · Dec 07, 2006, 01:15 AM // 01:15

Which is funniest:
a) The fact that you believed rumors about a diamond armor
b) The fact that you paid 100k+80e for a titan gem
c) The fact that the Coffer of Whispers contains an XP scroll
d) All of the above

I'm still having a hard time deciding, but I'm definitely laughing really hard right now.

...

Sorry, I know it's bad to laugh at misfortune, but that Scroll of Lightbringer is just too damn funny. GFG Anet, GFG.

diamond armor where did u hear this o_O

Quid Pro Quo · Dec 07, 2006, 01:16 AM // 01:16

Ugh.. thats just.. wrong.

The Go Red Engine is the point of that?
Jesus Science Christ! I had heard it was a possible storage upgrade. What a complete let down.

Zinger314 · Dec 07, 2006, 01:20 AM // 01:20

I've heard (after spamming this horrble fact in GoA), that the Scroll is only a random item.

One person said he found a perfect "Deathknoll" sword out of 3 coffers, which he wouldn't show me because he sold it on Guru auctions.

He showed me a staff which he received, but it was Req 13 and non-max inscription, and a basic Smiting Staff skin. I'm still skeptical. (mainly because the person bought 250 ectos worth of coffers!)

But I can't believe that the EXP scroll is the only reward...

chessyang · Dec 07, 2006, 01:22 AM // 01:22

just WOW.... WOW ....ouch...

Edit.. just said somthing about this in the American server.. and the room got really quite....

Insuscient Ranger · Dec 07, 2006, 01:24 AM // 01:24

Rofl... That is kinda funny man, try out the scroll... it may be like reuseable or something. That be cool... If oyu power levels poeple........Im sorry...... but its so funny....... GG Anet GG

TechnoSword · Dec 07, 2006, 01:24 AM // 01:24

time to create an anet wtf petition rofl im still laughing

Rera · Dec 07, 2006, 01:26 AM // 01:26

I imagine that the Coffer works like a high-end chest with a wider variety of drops.

The problem here is that, in order to make it worthwhile, there has to be a reasonable chance of some really incredible drops, or, barring that, the ability to get an item from the Coffer that you cannot get by any other means. The second solution offers its own problem though - massive price inflation.
