Well, not sure, but if this thread was deleted and ANet does not respond responsibly to this really bad Event, I will never buy another Gem… just not going to give my money to a company that does not stand up and take it shots when it screws up. Bad show and very bad form, ANet… and very disappointing for a company I once thought was the best gaming company out there.

If I may… one difference between our offline lives and playing a computer game (MMOG or standalone) is that we as players expect a reasonable possibility of success. In computer games, players generally expect to be able to complete a mission if they are only able to figure out the solution. Players generally expect to eventually win, and experience the thrill of victory and accomplishment… else why do we play?
When Players do not think there is a solution, and thus no way for them to win, then they get frustrated. This Event was a perfect example of having no way to win, and thus not being able to feel good about ourselves. I know as a Player, when I am just handed something I do not feel I have really earned, I feel cheated out of the experience of feeling good about being able to conquer the bad guy and earn my reward. The reason I play GW2 was not satisfied… thus I was not happy about this Event… sorry.
My objective in playing GW2, or any other computer game, is that when I shut my computer down, I feel better about myself. I do not always accomplish that, but most of the reasons for that are my own shortcomings. The way this Event was implemented did not allow me the feeling I come to GW2 to experience… thus I feel cheated and reacted in a negative way.
