Zen charge event

Hallo,
I would like to check something beforehand, considering some descriptions of items in the Zen store and such are at times sketchy. At 22 november the Holiday charge event will take place, granting you items if you spend X money on the game.
Now it says you can only get this once per account. I had all the rewards last year with the event as I spended 200 euros. If I spend money again, do I get new rewards? Or is it one time only per account in its lifetime?
Would appreciate it allot if someone can clarify this for me for obvious reasons. .

> The rewards for the upcoming charge promotion are not as good as the last time
Yeah these rewards arent enough of an interest to spend money if u werent planning on it prior imo, the coal wards are the only thing that of interest to most players, the runic bag lost its value 12b with the rp changes and the rest is lack luster

It's so they have something to blame other than the random q for decreased Zen sales this year.
The Random Queue fiasco, and having to spend years (per character) farming ToNG to get the UES I want has really hurt my enjoyment of the game.
I see no reason to support the game now or to reward decisions that reduce my enjoyment.
So, no money from me this time.
@jumpingmorks the manticore is both creepy but also fascinating to look at. I feel the markings on the skin and the wrinkles on forehead really stand out on this one, giving it a more lifelike and vicious feel. And I really don't like manticores!

Same for me...

> I'll spend. I'll use the Zen somehow, so might as well get a little something extra for it.
That's how I always used to feel. ♡
To be fair, you DID leave the game for 7 months....
> 70k for 99 pres wards. As long as you guys do not buy ZEN, the longer the backlog (12.700.000 ATM), more AD to me. Had free ZEN in storage, selling for 600+ AD and buying for 500. Thank you Cryptic, for chasing whales away.
It's all good until there's no one left to sell to.
One other thing I noticed is that for a $25 Zen purchase a person is supposed to receive "Commoner's Winter Garb" (with 5 enchanted keys) and for a $75 Zen purchase a person is supposed to receive a Shadow Manticore (and 30 days of VIP)... except purchasing Zen from the PWE charge exchange, people can only purchase Zen in $10 increments - not $5 increments so it is clearly impossible to purchase just $25 or $75 worth of Zen.
What's up with that? To get your Commoner's Winter Garb reward you have to purchase $30 of Zen not $25 with neither amount being a purchase option on the PWE charge page (just $10 or $20) and to get the Manticore a person has to purchase $80 worth of Zen and not $75 again neither $75 nor $80 is an option available on the PWE charge page (just $50 or $100)...
How does this even work?
Also just on a passing note, recently I visited the webpage for one of the console games...
On that page a console player can purchase zen amounts of 500, 1,000 and 2,000 and not only get promotional "bonus zen" for their purchases but they are able to make those purchases at a discounted price... a double win for them it seems.
15% additional Zen for a purchase of 500, which normally costs $4.99, now $4.24 -
20% additional Zen for a purchase of 1,000 regularly $9.99, now $7.99 -
20% additional Zen for a purchase of 2,000 regularly $19.99, now $15.99 -
20% additional Zen for a purchase of 5,300 regularly $49.99, now $39.99 -
25% additional Zen for a purchase of 1,100 Zen regularly $99.99 now $74.99
PC users on the other hand get "stuff" for our zen purchases, at full price...
An uncommon (green) mount for a $10 zen purchase, at full price. A cosmetic costume plus 5 keys, for a $25 purchase at full price, there isn't even a purchase $25 option available for PC users on the PWE charge page, and a character load out slot and 2x blood ruby bonus for a $100 zen purchase.
I don't even use free game provided character load out we have, I certainly don't want to spend $100 for another character load out that I won't use and $100 seems a little pricy for just 2 blood rubies when I can buy three from the Zen market for $20.00
Somehow I get the impression PC users are getting handed the dirty end of the stick with this so called "promotion" - What's Up! ?
then to purchase the $25 package - you pay $30 (as you stated) but you have to purchase it in $10 packages (again as you stated)
and this directly implies that you get the reward for the $10 purchase and the reward for the $25 purchase too
this answers one of my non-posted questions
also implies that any package includes the rewards for all previous packages
But if you meant the "stuff" one gets for their purchase and If as you say a person will get the tribal polar bear mount AND the commoner's winter garb for a $30 zen purchase, wouldn't that also mean that for a $50 zen purchase a person will get the tribal polar bear mount, the commoner's winter garb and also the character load out with two blood rubies?
Does it really work like that a person buying the maximum $200 purchase gets all the additonal bonus "stuff" for their purchase?
Like I said, for the most part my only experience purchasing zen is back when we used to get bonus zen for our purchases, most of the "stuff" they usually include in these bonus zen promotions now rarely interest me. I'm not much of a "collector" - if I have something that gives certain stats, I don't feel I need another something, with nearly identical stats (the Manticore would be a good example) - just because it "looks different".
Last year the items were better, I don't know that I'll hit $200 this year!
I'm not much of a 'collector', ie: why would anyone want another Manticore mount with the exact same or nearly itentical stats - just because it "looks different", the rationalle escapes me but different strokes for different folks I suppose.
Looking over my previous zen purchases and considering the promotional items they are offering, I'm not likely to purchase zen with this upcoming promotion, primarially because of most of the stuff that they are offering doesn't really appeal to me personally.
I think I'll just wait to see if there are any bonus zen promotions or a later promotion with "stuff" I acually consider useful, later on.
Snowclad Manticore is 7.5k Zen so maybe I will have enough for this Black Friday, here's hoping
Someone please take pity on me and share where I can find it again.
