Wow, lol I bid no fuckin way on those orange ones. Let me know if that meets buyout or not. *double facepalms*
One of my friends got one of each sandal with 3 accounts. I agree it's surprising but I just want to throw that out there. I don't personally doubt Darkwing's integrity.
I believe there were a few extremely lucky players last year that were able to get two pairs of sandals with only three accounts, I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again. Congrats Darkwing!
The question is: "Was character game time factored into your item chance?" I certainly wouldn't put it past Telamon... (and if anyone wants to attack DarkWing it's me! ha)
My point exacty. I don't put it past Telamon to factor in how people are actually rewarded (especially since character in game time is DEFINITELY monitored here) ... *shrug*. (and just to clarify for the dumbos; I think this is more than perfectly legit/justifiable) [My statement is based entirely on the fact that I have no idea what a "Senior Counselor" does besides monitor the forums/IRC]
Given my predisposition for logging everything, I made sure to properly log the rough contents of every bag that is given to a player as every year people report to me that they "did not get a bag" en mass. This is one of the reasons we rarely do these type of login rewards. Next year things like this will most likely be linked to participating in some sort of an event. 8/30/2014 12:23:33 AM: ##.##.##.##: Player 0x1D21 "Gosalyn" ('<redacted>') : Received a 2nd Year Anniversary Bag 8/30/2014 12:23:33 AM: ##.##.##.##: Player 0x1D21 "Gosalyn" ('<redacted>') : Received Sandals (0x43F63A6C) 8/30/2014 12:29:34 AM: ##.##.##.##: Player 0xE7AE "Disgruntled Duck" ('<redacted>') : Received a 2nd Year Anniversary Bag 8/30/2014 12:29:34 AM: ##.##.##.##: Player 0xE7AE "Disgruntled Duck" ('<redacted>') : Received Sandals (0x43F62566) To be clear counselors are just normal players, with no powers, all they can do is send text responses to pages, and greet new players.

The chance to get a special item was directly linked to the account age of the player. Most of the items that could appear in the bag followed the same rules. Its the one time a year we reward our veterans for sticking with the server for so long.
I didn't get any sandals, clearly this whole system is rigged. Come on people, it's just sandals. Go point your dirty fingers at something worth your energy.
