Advent disappointment

In my opinion the new limit on Advent Calender rewards really sucks for players who work full time. I honestly expect that nearly all the gift codes will be given out before most players even get up for the day, and probably to the players who just made 'extra' accounts to get more advent gifts.
I think it would have been nicer if we got the presents in our in-game mailboxes, there could be a very short time limit to pick them up and different gifts for different player levels (or time played).
Putting a limit on the total number of codes available just seems like it would encourage some people to 'work' the system to maximize their individual 'takes'. This will not spread holiday cheer, but rather spawn alot of disappointment as many of us get the invalid code message.

Gets opportunity to get free items; complains about it.

Just appreciate that they're giving us stuff and shut up.

I'm glad the concept art is early in the month not late in the month, there's 5 total and 2 are already done and we're not even halfway into the month, sounds like a good thing to me.

the limit placement only affects the legitimate player. Those who spam new accounts will still do so and only reduce the availability for those who only use 1 account. That's just my 2 cents... back to looking at that concept art its got a certain flare to it with a hint of residual darkness. So new age!

You would be wrong, I suspect, if you think all the codes will be gone early in the day.

Keep in mind that an Advent "window" opens or is available to be opened at 3pm PST on a given day, and remains available to be opened for 24 hours.

I ran of of cheese, so you'll have to find your own.

The advent calendar has been up for 17 hours now and just redeemed a code through the website. When they say "limited amount" you realize they don't say how limited. It could be like the diamond vendor in varanas central, with a weekly limit of 20,000 transactions or something absurd like that.
