The War Begins!

It's been a long hiatus.  Or it's seemed so.  I've become so used to writing now, I guess.  Now, for today's installment! 
The War in Kryta has been an interesting new development in Guild Wars of late.  Initially, it started as a couple of small quests, but now that the ball has started rolling, Princess Salma has made her appearance and the Shining Blade are claiming back Kryta.  Which can mean only one thing:  presents!
A-Net make no confusion about how they treat their players.  Where there is a major game event, there are gifts.  Recently, there was the Dragon Festival, which makes a small profit as far as party points are concerned.  The War in Kryta has its own rewards system too, revolving around killing various members of the White Mantle in order to gain War Supplies and eventually attain  Royal Gifts.  One thing that bugs me above all else though is that the best presents are so difficult to achieve.  It seems virtually impossible to get hold of a miniature Salma or Evennia, and I would dearly like one of them to add to my growing collection of minis.  I guess I shall have to bounty-hunt a little harder. 
Another point about the reward system has to be the introduction of Medals of Honor, which appear to have no  purpose in the game, as of yet.  I am wondering perhaps if collecting enough of them warrants a unique weapon, or some kind of armour that would be beneficial to the story line.  Although this route could also be made into a financial exploitation by buying these products in real cash if you didn't want to waste the time collecting medals. 

Anyway, that's my input and speculation for now.  Speak to you all later!
