Last year everyone could earn the Benson's basher hammer skin for free. Because I liked the event and wanted to support Phoenix Labs I also bought the Benson's disguise helmet transmog for 600 platinum.

This year I open the store and see the exact same hammer and helmet skin but with a little crown and golden horns for 1000 platinum and 600 platinum respectively. I am not going to pay 600 platinum for the exact same reused model with a little "upgrade" (depending on your preference). In my opinion, this is simply a lazy way to get more money with very little effort.

Edit: I just heard from a friend that the old helmet can also be unlocked for 25 golden coins in the event shop. This means that the helmet I bought can now be earned for free (which is great for other players, don't get me wrong on this) and the tweaked version I can re-buy for 600 platinum...

This year's Ramsgiving doesn't have the same scope as, say, Dark Harvest or Frostfall. This is mostly due to our recent focus on Dark Harvest, Frostfall, the latest HP, and of course, Dauntless Reforged.

That said, we still thought it was worth it to run the event and give players some content because celebrating Benson is important to us!

And if you're worried about not having enough new cosmetics, don't worry, there are a ton in the pipeline.
