Just to make this clear first, I'm not bashing the gem store, just using previous history to let me try and make a somewhat accurate(?) assumption into what direction Anet are heading in with this release. Let's say that based on previous interactions with the gem shop each Mythic Weapon Choice box will be only obtainable through a 2000 gem package, that's 30,000 gems it'd take to get the full collection.

A full collection rewards you with a total of 3 achievement points and 7 black lion claim tickets.

Now why would they be giving black lion claim tickets for non-black lion weapon skins? Was the original intention to make these black lion ticket skins? Or is this the direction Anet are now heading in. Do they plan on releasing the next 17 outfits alongside this collection?

The only difference between this concept and the golden lion weapon skins, or immortal, is that there are no collections tied between the two latter, do they actually plan on releasing enough choice boxes this time round to complete the collection?

Alot of questions rise from this subtle, yet thought provoking choice to add a collection tied to the "2000 gem weapon box".

This was a mistake and we are fixing it in the next release ~

We don't put collections for the Gemstore weapon sets that are exclusive to appearance packages. The mistake was that the collection was added at all and we will be removing it ~

Weapons only get added to the statuettes after we stop putting them in the appearance packs, that's why the immortal ones are in there now, since we no longer put those in appearance packs!
