Guild Wars 2

Putting aside the drop rate and other conspiracy theories – I’m reading this thread (and other similar) and see a lot of complains about the way ANet decided to distribute beta passes. And I find a lot of them really immature :/

I like that they decided to do this this way. Last time it was said that they are going to choose “among active players and loyal customers”. Meaning: among these that spend the most time and/or money on gw2. Ofcourse I did not get in…

Well, I have a job and other responsibilities in rl – I’m already spending in this game more time than I probably should. What I want to say is why should I be penalized for having a life outside the game?? I’m sure there are a lot of people who can play only few hours a week, they would never get into beta because compared to these who spend 10+ hours PER DAY they are not considered “active”. So yes, I think this idea is much better.

Besides, hello people – it’s BETA! You will get all the content and more then the HoT will come out. Shees, you complain like they are giving out free copies of the game….

Answering the question:
I started right away when the update came. I think I’ve spent something aroung 4-5h per day in SW (yay national holiday and free time!) and got it hour ago killing a trasher while defending builder at blue.

On a side note:
I have a horrible luck with drops. Really, really horrible – so I didn’t even think about dropping it. I went there because FINALLY something is happening on this map. I like it and I’m glad that there are people and we can finish the event.

Aaaand it’s a good farm :P Even if I wouldn’t get the key I’d be happy, because this “lottery” earned me enough gold and materials for Ilya :P

I know it was mentioned before but repeating it won’t hurt:

- as it was said before there is mini Tybalt, but not Sieran and Forgal – which I find strange and little unfair to poor Vigil and Priory members…
