Guild Wars 2

Is anyone else still waiting on their present from Anet?

I bought Gems with real money. I am not going to complain about the items I used the gems to purchase, such as; keys, character slots, bag slots, or chests (boxes). That was my decision to spend real money and I will do it again. However, I did spend considerable amount of extra money on a non-subscription game.

I get all sorts of candy, cookies, lotions, etc. during the holiday season from businesses I frequent often. It should be easy for Anet to see the purchase level of Gems with cash transactions and offer a small token of appreciation. It won’t cost them anything if they give a gift in the form of additional Gems in the store or some type of gift bag in game. They can use the in-game email to notify of our “special” holiday gift.

Does anyone else feel the same?

You’ll only find that out if get up early tomorrow to see if you got any presents from Father ANet. It still isn’t christmas yet.

Well that depends where you’re from. I got all my presents.

That’s just cruel

I actually agree quite a bit, but it can get really weird in the community if it becomes a repetitive thing. In some of those f2p MMOs out there people wait until you get those “double gems” weekends and then buy up a lot; so many sometimes they’re paying for a full year for 2 sub MMO accounts. then the funny thing is, if they don’t offer it for a month or two, the forums suddenly turn into headlines such as “it’s veteran’s day!! WHERE’S MY DOUBLE GEMS?!!” You can guess how it rapidly turns into a QQ fest.

LOL!

" I DEMAND YOUR GENEROSITY! Give me your generosity! I gave you things because I expected you to give me things! YOUR’RE the greedy one! " lol!

This perspective on gift-giving perplexes me. When did we stop giving things of our own accord and without expectation of return?
