    **Participants in our 10th Anniversary Twitch Drops event are intended to receive 2 Heroic Boosters after watching an eligible Guild Wars 2 Twitch livestream for 30 minutes. Due to a bug players are only receiving a single Heroic Booster.
    To address this, after the Twitch Drops event has concluded we’ll be sending any player that completed the Heroic Booster watch time requirement two additional boosters via in-game mail for a total of three boosters.
    Thank you for your patience while we fix this!
