I think the real source of disappointment was the hype and the delay around thoses offers to see finally a bunch of tokens as bonus (id rather take more free months than useless mounts, tokens or pets).
Thoses gilding tokens are nothing exciting. Gilding Vendor is a ripoff of cashshop or veterans rewards, which is clearly not new, exclusive or exciting. So i think i will kept thoses tokens until they update the vendor.
Clearly, announcing "new things you never see before" for the offers then offering t1 pvp or pve set (2008 items...) was the main reason people were so much disappointed. Hope they consider that for the futures ones.
Oh, and btw the best offers i saw was the anniversary offers (+50% free sub time)
