Guild Wars 2

I think we should have recruiting bonuses of some sort

I have recruited 3 people to the game and then was wanting to make another character (So I could play with all of my new friends while trying a class I don’t already have).

The additional character slots cost ~10$ based off recent server activity — How cool would it be if you got a free character slot for referring a friend that buys the game?!?

What other cool recruiting bonuses could they offer?

IMO they should just make this game free to play

you get 1 character slot and take a higher cut when trying to sell stuff on the TP(to weed out botters). You can of course upgrade to a normal version through the gem store.

Ummmm this game is free to play unless you mean free to play as in they give you the box for free and then that would be just silly. The $60 I spent on the game has paid for it self 100 times over IMO and making the Box free would only encourage botters as there would be no downside to getting banned.

You paid for the game, thus it is not free to play.

Also, read what I’ve suggested in terms of discouraging botters.

I love when people quote me and then say the exact same thing I just said. Then persist on telling me if I read their post I would have understood when, I directly addressed a statement in their post

So all I have to say to that is …………

If that happens to you a lot perhaps the problem isn’t everyone else, rather you :P

or perhaps you need to read a little better before commenting on something I have already stated, which in this case was your exact rebuttal

Hmm maybe you didn’t understand my original post then – my reading comprehension is top notch I just wanted to make sure you did in fact read it correctly. No need to get snippy because of semantics :P

Lol not where I what I was intending as the direction for this thread but okay.

The original post suggested that ANet offer in-game rewards for referring people to the game. On the one hand, that seems both fair and fun.

But, from ANet’s point of view, why would they need to do it? The game has already exceeded their wildest dreams in terms of popularity. (A lot of issues they are dealing with have been created by the fact that ANet prepared for a smaller population of people playing at once.)

I think my biggest incentive for referring friends to the game is so I can hang out with them while playing. ANet can’t offer me anything as good as that.
