I am also totally miffed by this u-turn decision for guesting. Having been in the same international guild for the last 6-7 years through GW1 it is indeed sad to have to say goodbye to a long list of American friends I’ve made over the years, not only through our guild but the 5+ years of making GW1 movies and the loyal friends i made from my viewers. I guess we can still chat but there’s just way too many for me to keep track of long term with only chat as a means of interaction. Thanks to you guys for putting up with me all that time, our cards may have been unwillingly forced but you will not be forgotten. I’m not sure why they’ve made this decision, is it somet to do with WvW? It doesn’t interest me so i don’t really follow whats happening with it, i’m a 100% PvE’er!! I guess we can still keep up on forums and i have quite a few of you as friends on FB but in all honesty i don’t have as much time to keep up with forums like i used to grrr. The original guesting system they promised where we would be free to guest anywhere with friends would have been ideal for me as i work the 3-shift rota, looks like i’ll be on my own at 3-6am in future
To my American friends, thank you for your friendship all these years. I will try to keep in touch with some of you as best i can and wish everyone of you all the best.
