$250 worth of prizes? Are you guys going broke or just really cheap

Yes, of course they should spend millions on a single contest rather then spending those money on resources for the game…

This is why we can’t have nice things. People will complain about every single thing.

Where did I say they should spend millions? Some people are content with nothing and anyone who thinks $250 is a valid prize is crazy hell they have better prizes in primary school give aways or anywhere I guess where u come from everyone is cheap so it’ must be acceptable otherwise I don’t understand your logic

They didn’t have to have any prices with monetary values at all, they could simply have given away a special mini or title in game.

If you don’t like the value of the prizes simply don’t enter the contest. It is really as simple as that.

Questions about regional/national eligibility have arisen in the past, so we have included an article in our Knowledge Base to address such questions: https://help.guildwars2.com/entries/28147436-Contests-and-Tournaments

It would be wonderful to be able to offer this contest is all areas of the world, but unfortunately, as explained, that simply is not something that we are able to do.

I can’t view the link. It says:
“Sie haben keinen Zugriff auf dieses Thema.
Sie haben keinen Zugriff auf diese Seite. Wenden Sie sich an den Kontoinhaber dieses Zendesks.”
You don’t have access to this topic.
You don’t have access to this page. Turn to the account-owner of this Zendesk.

In that case, let me simply quote the Knowledge Base here:

Contests and Tournaments

Am I eligible to participate in a Guild Wars 2 Contest or Tournament?

Each contest and tournament is bound by specific eligibility rules as outlined in the official announcement of the event on our website. Contest and tournament rules are reviewed by legal counsel in various regions in which we have access to such professional reviews. Residents of countries in which we do not have legal counsel are not eligible to participate. In addition, residents of a country, state, or province that has legal restrictions on such events likewise are ineligible to participate. If you are ineligible to participate in a contest or tournament, please check the rules for future events, as eligibility may change with an upcoming event.

So I put the wrong email in the account part for the survey, is there a way to change that? :<
I don’t want to be kicked out of the contest just because I entered homail instead of aol on accident
Is there some one I can contact or am i just out of luck?

If you are one of the randomly-selected winners, I have a pretty good idea we’ll be able to reach you via the e-mail address you put. We may need information to verify that you have a Guild Wars or Guild Wars 2 account in good standing, but beyond that, I think we can synch that up and get you your prize. (The same applies to others who made have made the same error.)

I’ll be posting a list of winners (by display name) so that’s another way we can coordinate all the information to make sure the winners get their prizes.

Oooh, that’s tempting, but I only have a few more hours. I’m going to keep that idea in my back pocket for the future, though. I’d love to collaborate with our Lore Forum members — they’re a fantastic group of people!

I’ll be doing fan events in the future; who better to ask for a few ideas, hmmm?

there should really be a GW1 event in GW2, something like nostalgia week or something with all kinds of drops you can normally only get in GW1.

for instance, classic dye drops from enemies, the commander class as buyable costume and armor, have an event at divinity’s reach with contests, have some of the GW1 event hats as rewards.
just think how much fun it would be, there is so much in GW1 that an event like that would be quite huge.

Why doesn’t Guild Wars 2 have an annual birthday party, like Guild Wars 1 did? It feels so wrong for the anniversary to go by each year and it’s just another day. ANet find it right back then. It was something people looked forward to and really enjoyed.

Y’all need to get your groove back.

Today’s project: Come up with Guild Wars trivia for the ArenaNet staff. This is going to be extra challenging!

I actually have an entire list of Guild Wars trivia that I used in the first game to quiz allies and give away prizes. They aren’t multiple choice, and most of them are harder than the ones you made for this event. I even have a bunch of screenshots that I took in different locations around the game for “Where was this taken?” style questions.

I would love to challenge the ArenaNet staff. Where do I sign up?

Please remember that you only answered 10 questions. You did not win a tournament or something else that took more than 5 mins worth of effort.

Also, if you look again, the prizes total are not to exceed that amount. that’s up to 25 bucks per player chosen.

You probably already have the list together but I imagine if this is tailored to ANet staff it should include questions about the development of the game. Y’know, original names for skills, who won the 2010 Ping Pong Tourney, etc.

I’d love to see some of the answers that people gave to their fondest memory. Copy paste them here!

I got two that rather tie for the best memories of GW1. One was of fighting the titans; they had an awesome look to them, and a neat mechanic of splitting down into smaller creatures upon death. The other was venturing in the Realm of Torment – as a fan of psychological horror and all around dark stuff, the Realm of Torment calls to my very soul. And the lore found there! And when I went digging for all things related to the elusive Arachnia! My first true lore project. <3

Today’s project: Come up with Guild Wars trivia for the ArenaNet staff. This is going to be extra challenging!

Oooo, can I present some? Or partake even? I’ve always wanted to test my knowledge of GW lore against the devs.

Dear ANet writers,
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

I know right? I was recently playing the Ring of Fire missions for the 10th anniversary and at first forgot they do that. Then my party was decimated by the Sparks.

That reminds me of the first time I did the Domain of Anguish, known as DoA or Dead on Arrival. I was innocently standing right by the spot where the Dreadspawn Maw came out of the ground and it about gave me heart failure when it leaped up right beside me.

I took off running. Lol.

Let me see if I can think of a work-around.

The workaround:

Ask people to post trivia questions without the answers. If you like the question PM the poster for the answer. It doesn’t fill up your inbox, and we get to play along too. Win-Win.

I was certain of 9, the question regarding the descendent of Doric and Salma I am sure I had right per the lore, but it was not the most popular answer. Do not answer the question here, though the contest is over, they may wanna wait to reveal answers. PM me if you wanna discuss answers.
