Some people just don’t know when to stop. Anet is probably not going to change this event so drastically, period! It would have them work that much harder, and, not to mention, totally go against some of the players who actually like the new change. Yes, there are those players out there.

If you would like to express your opinion on how this could be changed in the future then that is totally understandable. But to say that a company, Yes I said company, should totally rethink and change part of their decision is totally and utterly unrealistic.

The REAL loyal player base, we who have been playing since Guild Wars Prophecies or earlier, is looking forward to the continuation of the REAL story. The dragons. We couldn’t care less about a gold grind that might help skin deep players get that new legendary or crap tons of gold. Come on now, you aren’t fooling anyone with these “we want more gold” posts.

I have to agree with Miroe.
Lol. This whole thread is hilarious.

On one hand you have players who believe they deserve some sort of monetary reward (gold) for each minute played in this video game. And on the other you have players who seem to think that too much loot or gold itself will break the “economy”.

I think we all need to define what fun is to each other instead of attacking or defending a talking point, no matter how logical it may be. If you aren’t playing this game to have fun I think you are sorely missing the point of Guild Wars 2 entirely.

Now if you think monotonous farming is fun, there are plenty of places in Tyria to do that already. If you think challenging content is fun no matter the reward then this event is right up your ally. This game isn’t meant to tear players apart with ridiculous, all be it hilarious, arguments like this. Come on guys, let’s be a little bit more understanding of each other’s opinion and play styles.

Theorycrafting on Scarlet

Ok, so I have spent almost 2 hours staring at a wall thinking of how Scarlet and everything we know so far fits into a story about defeating the dragons. I think I finally nailed it…

I’ll start with provable facts. We’ve known for awhile now that a race of giants called the giganticus lupicus existed before any of the other known races. We are also told that these giants disappeared for some reason. We know that the dragons woke up, give or take, 1000 years after that. We know that the human gods gave magic to all of tyria, and some 1200 years later Primordus awakens. Sound familiar?

Say Scarlet knows where these so called “magic leylines” actually are. I’ll assume, like we all have, that the DO NOT TOUCH pillars are a means to mapping them out, and that they point toward the elder dragons. If indeed that is true then we can speculate that the dragons feed off of magic. Now this is where it gets cyclical. If the dragons feed off of magic, then by giving magic to tyria the human gods had indirectly caused the dragons to wake from their slumber. This plays into the assumption that the giants knew how to stop the magic flow to the dragons, and that after they disappeared, for whatever reason, the magic flow was restored.

Put simply, my theory is this:  
We as the players will defeat Scarlet soon. She will, in fact, have the knowledge of how the dragons get their power and where they are approximately located. We will then find out that zhaitan is not dead and to defeat him we must figure out how to block his food source (magic). Welcome to guild wars 2 year two lol.

Of course I could also be entirely wrong. 2 hours well spent don’t ya think?
