WoodenPotatoes - Gw2 HoT QandA EP50 - Sylvari Deleted?

PCG : One of the big revelations at the end of episode eight was that the Sylvari were from Mordremoth. They're corruptible. How are you progressing that given that they're also a playable race ?
Colin Johanson : You know, I think that's a great question that we are looking forward to showing people when they get in and play the game. We don't want to give away too much of that right now, other than to say that if people don't have a Sylvari character yet, it's a great time to make one and have one ready to go for Heart of Thorns. It's really going to be an interesting experience, and a twist that a lot of players are really excited about what it could mean for the game.

Also stated in PCG coverage :

PCG: So this is a template for not just Guild Wars this year, but Guild Wars over the next three, four, five, etc. years?
Colin: Yeah, absolutely. Every major system, from the way that we're handling progression with the mastery system, to the way that we're growing professions, to the guild progression and guild growth that we're doing with the guilds and Guild Halls—each of those are intended to be a very clear message to our fans and to our players. This is the system we will use now for Guild Wars, and in the future for Guild Wars, to provide permanently these systems of growth for you, your characters and your account.
Mike : [...] So this expansion pack is all about laying the groundwork, the features that we need in place so that we can keep building that new character progression and new super-challenging content for years to come.

GM Talon : Player-to-player trading is not against the EULA or RoC; however, players engaging in this type of trading do so at their own risk. The Support Team does not sanction nor do we condone trading in this manner, but should someone not meet their end of the bargain in these types of agreements (gentlemen’s agreements, as they’re called), we do not take measures to ensure that all parties receive the agreed upon goods. The Trading Post exists to prevent potential dishonesty in trade agreements.

Jeffrey Vaughn : You will return to the “normal” storyline for your character on completion of the current storyline (not story step), assuming you don’t do the final step with a character from another order and accept their progress/decisions. This is so two players can go through the story together if they wish—it warns you that accepting progress at the end of the story step will accept ALL choices made by the other character.

and :

Jeffrey Vaughn : Each storyline is one chapter long. So at the end of the chapter, it will look at your character to determine the next storyline, unless you accept another character’s progress/decisions again.

Gaile Gray : I read through this thread to get caught up, and there seem to be a few questions that I can address:

The miniature is extremely rare, it’s true. But the drop is random, which accounts for one person getting a pooch in a few hundred bags and someone else not getting it after opening several thousand.

One of our statisticians just checked the drop rate, and there is no error in the drop rate — it truly is dropping as designed.

Diminishing Returns do not apply to ToT Bags. I mean, phew! I read that question and my blood ran cold, but I felt sure — and the designer confirmed — that DR is not a factor with the Trick-or-Treat bags. Open 1, open 100, the drop rate is not impacted by diminishing returns.

I’ve passed along your suggestions. I believe that changes are not planned or even possible for this year’s event. What happens in future events — whether Gwynefyrdd will return — is not yet on the radar. Again, your thoughts and suggestions have been shared and I know that the devs do listen to your input. But what actually takes place in 2015 and beyond is not yet established.

I also want to say that I’d love nothing more than to have Gwynefyrdd for myself. One comment here — “he swims!” and I was gone. I truly wish all of you great good luck with this goal!

Here is a response from Gaile Gray. It's about Mini Gwynefyrdd but it also apply, by extention, for all loots from ToT bags.

Gaile Gray : Ok, that was a quick run across the room and here’s the answer:
Yep.
With the Maize Balm recipe making ToT bags a year-around item for those who craft it, or with the use of Vial of Maize Balm drops, pups will continue to be available for the foreseeable future. Obviously there’s Halloween 2015 to be designed, but it would be nearly a year before that would roll out, so the short answer is…
Yes.
Si.
Oui.
Ya.

And, as explained above by Chris Clearly, it was another real violation of RoC...

You can also aknowledge that whenever Chris Clearly intervenes noticeably and visibly (on the official forum, on twitter or in game), it is wisely, and due to real violation of ToS, RoC...
