Loved the Fireworks Crates

I've seen various threads where people were disappointed with the crates, but none yet where people were happy with them.

Myself, I set off a few in our the Guild Hall and just loved them - the fireworks display was absolutely stunning. Wound up taking more than 100 screenshots of the display before I was able to leave the screenshot button alone

Had a dance party for about 30 minutes with fireworks going, was very pretty!

So I just wanted to say thanks for an awesome gift - one that is fun and visually stunning, and that won't take up several of slots in storage/bags for a year (which is pretty much what the mini-pigs did).

Thanks Anet!

If I had known that it was going to be the reward ahead of time, I wouldn't have bothered wasting hours collecting items.

Considering all the bitching done elsewhere in Riverside (and yes, I've done some of it too), we can stand to have an appreciation thread.

My tiny guild isn't exactly hopping, but it's nice to have such an effortless bump for my Party Animal title. I can still win it easily just on hoarded transformation potions alone, but this just helps me get that much closer to Life Of The Party.

I wish I could set them off in explorable areas, but it's still fun enough to have little guild parties!

Well thats your opinion of anet giving us something terrible, my opinion on the other hand is that i like the fireworks crates verymuch, Ouch but thats not what you want to hear.

The message is already sent with al the people not being happy with what they got, and honestly i dont really care how and why these people dont like it.However it doesnt matter what you guys get with any event its never ever good enough, and that just pisses me off a bit, anet did put some effort in it and all they get back is complaints, now that there are some people that do like the present they get yelled at with Phaillllll, thats just wrong!

I loved them myself. I didn't really get what was going on when it was raining BEES of all things, though...

Man, after reading all the QQ threads and complaining, I almost feel bad for saying I liked the crates.

Oh well I still think they were pretty cool.

I really like them n___n I especially love how you could have guild hall parties and use them to decorate, since there isn't really another way to "decorate" the hall :]

*thumbs up for creativity*
I'm glad a.net has thought up of another reward besides item bags (sweets, popers, alchol), minis, and hats for event finale items.

I like them too. Makes a change from stuff people don't appreciate for what they are and just want to sell on. People are only peeved because it's not something they can sell for a pocket full of gold.

Such an "I want, I want" mentality is very sad. I appreciated the sparkly graphics for what they were, without crying about the fact I can't make money off them.

Well done for not just giving us another mini that people would look at once and then put in the WTS box.

Are you kidding? People are selling the hell out of some crates in my district. And since they're for a title now, they're getting bought. :P
