Guild Wars 2

So, after all this invasion stuff and whatnot and the attack on the pavilion, I was expecting them to actually do the real proper speech she was supposed to after having driven off Scarlet. Even if it was just with another Mesmer clone. Instead….

Nothing.

Well, nothing significant or important anyways. Just a touching little note about our bravery for fighting off Scarlet. Which makes me think, there really was no great speech.

It was all just a lure to draw out Scarlet? That countless people DIED to hear this -very important speech- by the Queen and there never was one? The lure didn’t solve anything, it only cost people their lives. Angered the captain of the seraph guard and really changed nothing besides preventing her being kidnapped. The same result if she had simply cancelled the speech, but at least then civilians wouldn’t have died in vain.

This is a Queen? A person who is supposed to care about their subjects? It’s quite funny that her subjects care so much for her (heck even some trying to save her despite their own safety; ie Lord Faren), but yet, none of this is really returned in kind?
They were clearly aware of the issues regarding Scarlet, but instead the Queen and her subjects decided to go with the pointless ruse (not even a proper trap setup for Scarlet even).

Why?
The facts really don’t seem to add up.
Why do a speech you know will cost lives?
Why do a fake speech that will not increase your chance of capturing your assailant?
Why do a speech that was a lie to the very people that looked up to you?
To be honest, I would have been more amused if Scarlet hadn’t shown up, because I’m sure the Queen would be quite embarrassed at how very little she had to say to her fine subjects.

Of course, this is just my thoughts. Not sure if many agree or I’ve missed something, but I am of course quite disappointed in the overall result.
