Guild Wars 2

So there is this post about people who got shafted on the event that took place last night being compensated, thats how it should be and is well handled by your team.

But, what about those that could not log in to the game world at all?

I for one always got an error when trying to log in, part from two times I managed to get to the character selection screen, then nothing happening there until a window with an error message pops up and I had to try to log in again.

It should be rather easy for you guys and gals at ANet to confirm this by checking logs and seeing multiple login attempts for about an hour, or until I just gave up.

Seeing as you are willing to compensate others, would you be willing to compensate for this as well? Or do those of us who tried but couldnt log in because of an overload on your servers just have to bite the bullet on this one?

Thank you Kaochanism.8793, but I had already seen that and it is mentioned in my post and it is not the same scenario as my post is about. They say they will compensate people who managed to log in and do the event, but got disconnected.

I could not log in at all after dozens of attempts so I never had a chance to participate in the event, thus I did not disconnect and according to ANet I would not be compensated even though the problem in both cases lies at their end, not ours.

Slight difference.

Ah yes. I was confused when I read it. Either way I’m sure Anet will find a way to compensate people. Unfortunately, I’m afraid this means doing it again for everyone and then the argument becomes, “They got to do it twice, why can’t I?”.

Seems to me they would be able to track who completed the event and who did not, though they can’t stop people from re-doing the event they can prevent them from receiving the loot at the end in the chest or however it was distributed (or at least I would hope they could do this).
