Guild Wars 2

So, I have 596 days on my main. I have 13 characters, 11 of them 80.

I’ve played the game. I’ve spent money, obviously, on char slots, on makeovers, crystals ect ect. Even have useless mr sparkles.

I have not been playing this. In other mmos, when I have been “missing” for a bit, I generally get some mail along the lines of “check out what’s new” or “come back”, some mild recognition of being a valued customer. Dear valued Player, so to speak.

Not here. I get not one but 2 E-Mails “Welcome Series” linking to a very rudimentary basic new player “combat” page. Gee, this game has dodge? https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/combat/?utm_source=newsletter_gw2&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=welcomeseries_us_052014banner

If this is their highly vaunted “metrics” in action, no wonder they seem so disconnected from the player base and long term consumers particularly.

Harmless E Mail. No big deal, deleted. Did it encourage me to come back and try the game again? Not in the slightest. Just reinforced my suspicion that the “new” acct. is all that matters.

And yet there are threads in this very forum that ask for Anet to expand more on intricacies of the game. Yes, it’s not relevant to you, but it could simply be an attempt to provide more tutorial style information that’s skimmed over that is much more difficult to code into the game at this point in development.

Given that it’s not really promoting the new content of Season 2, it would be my guess it’ s not intended to be a “come back” email.

This was stated by ArenaNet as an accidental emailing. It was only intended for new players and the list has been corrected.

No harm. No fowl. (and no foul even.)

The email was a mistake…

Sorry about this! This got sent out on accident to a segment of our playerbase that it was not intended for. It was meant to be sent to players who are just now joining us in Guild Wars 2.

Reguarding email security, it is always good practice to be cautious about emails and links. If you aren’t sure about an email or link, you can always inspect the links that are embeded before clicking them.

That being said, there is nothing wrong on a refresher for base game mechanics!
