Raptors would outrun every enemy, springers could just jump on walls instead of using the actual entrance and griffons would be even worse. a. Majority of items in the Gem Store are skins for items and mounts, it is why Guild Wars is also called "Fashion Wars". b. Minipets c. Resource gathering tools -- some with very minor bonuses; very negligible d. Many, if not all, of the items available in the Gem Store can also be acquired by other means. 2. Nimble Recovery. Nimbly recover after being knocked off the skimmer and after engaging foes by using Barrel Roll. The skimmer will now grant you protection and swiftness when you're recovering "while anybody can get the content that I paid cash for" They don't actually because there's living story content that can't be played again, achievements and stuff that they didn't get access to, and all of the time to level, get skins, farm up mats and currency. Yes, you need to to start the PoF story. The raptor will be given in the first PoF instnace. The bunny, jackal and skimmer from specific hearts in each map.

The free giveaway is a fun way to celebrate 10 years of guild wars 2 and give a little back to the community the helped Anet get this far. Its a mount skin so its not really that little but you get the point. Long term, it's likely that the Blish HUD one will begin to add more and more of the features from the addon version, but there is still plenty of room for preference. Honestly, I'd recommend giving both a shot really quick and seeing which meets your needs. Both support mount queuing, the radial menu itself, default mounts when in water, and more. IUREI.
