Guild Wars 2

Areanet devs, I adore you and think you’ve created a fantastic game. However, your delight in creating events (and/or event achievements) for specific real-life times is enough to drive a player mad. We all have work, school or family and the player base spans at least three time zones. Why on earth are you kicking off a one-time event at noon on a Friday? It’s seriously not player friendly. And don’t even get me started on how the Halloween event changed every other day so if we didn’t hop to it, we couldn’t complete the achievements and earn the titles. -.-

I thought the Halloween event was a lot of fun and I played like crazy while it was going, but I honestly have no intention of going out of my way to be available for the various one-time events next weekend. That doesn’t mean I think they should stop doing live special events, though…I just don’t have a problem accepting that there will be a lot of content I’ll never do throughout the time I’m playing this game (or any MMO, for that matter). I hope the events are cool and make the overall experience better for those people who participate, even if I don’t.
