I’ve posted on this before, but I’d like once again to express my appreciation. Thank you Anet for allowing festivals to go on for a few weeks. It gives casual players a realistic amount of time to take part and not feel like they are missing out. I’ve played games where the festivals were so short, or the achievements so challenging it required a huge time sink if you wanted to attempt it. Events like that exclude many players from completion, or force time management on something which is supposed to be done for entertainment.
Thank you for making a game for gamers!
