Guild Wars 2

A number of players help Arenanet by identifying bugs, offering constructive suggestions, or simply purchasing gems with real money. Arenanet should recognise them with some form of reward.

What I have in mind are slightly unique skins like a color variant on the Quaggon backpack. The dev community could toss a number of names from the forum into a pool to recieve a coupon code good for something minor but exclusive for forum contributions. Likewise, real money gem purchases could unlock a special skin or other bought-with-cash bonus.

Thank you for the minis. I hope in the future that Arenanet continues to award players who pay real money to support the game. While this is not a pay to play game, it should be a pay to show off game to ensure continued revenue. Skins, minis, town clothes, costume bakittenems, and even an occasional elite pet like the cool but useless Mistfire Wolf are decent enough rewards and help advertise cash-gems benefits.

I suggest making tiers of rewards, too, according to the real money transaction. Perhaps one reward for $10, two for $35, and three for $50+ per quarter or half year.

Edit: Your word filters need review. “Costume b45h I t e m s” was given the kitty-cat treatment.
