Guild Wars 2

Hello to all,

A little introduction of myself:

I’ve been a big fan of GW1 , I’ve bought all expansions and have about 2,450 houres on my record. Even named my main character Duke Ranik, some off you know it has a link to the game . GW1 was simple, but amazing game!

Playing Guild Wars 2 was really amazing and still is!

BUT…

(btw I’m not an native english speaking person, i could have made allot of grammar fails)

The topic it self:

I am personally not a big fan of this so called: One time events. Sadly the time-line is always based to normal Americans who don’t have to go to work on a Sunday for example.

I really have (sadly) the feeling ArenaNet doesn’t focus on their non-American players.
Or even hard working, church going, ect. Gamers/Players.

I’m sure allot of non-american and even American people missed out on this ( clearly epic) event ’cos they where sleeping or even working , and they where forced to not participate in this event.

I see only 3 possible solutions in the future:

(1) Time zones based

Make difference between Asia, America and Europe. So people over whole world have a little chance to participate .

But this solution isn’t the best one, because some people ( like me) work in shifts and are forced to miss the event

(2) One time loot

Just repeat the event and make clear you will only get a ONE TIME LOOT CHEST. This way all people have a fair chance and can see these epic events you guys create.

This seems to me the best solution on this topic.

(3) NO LOOT

Don’t give such ‘epic’ loot. ‘cos people work hard to get gold and now it seems market is crashing ones again ’cos some new lucky people just got instantly rich and don’t understand what 1 gold stands for!
Don’t want to sound jealous , Hope you guys know what i’m trying to say.

Final

I am vary mad for this one time events and they need allot of work.
BUT
I am still playing , and recommend people to stay, ’cos the game it self is just AMAZING.

Totally agree, especially with #2 & #3 above.
In addition, the time commitment required was too large.
It would have been nice to have a shorter event (1-1.5 hours?) but have it repeat 2-4 times over the day, with the one time loot as above. I think that would allow more people to participate across various time zones/life schedules.

while i kind of agree to this whole argument…i dont see it working for the most part due to once most players complete the event once and if there was only one lootable chest why would anyone bother to repeat the event. i was at the maguuma world killing of the boss and it took a MASSIVE amount of people the 4 hours to do it. and if this was just set on repeat it would never get done and hold up the rest of the area to be explored if the boss was just sitting out in the middle of the map spawning hundreds of mobs around it.
