I do believe you deserve to go, regardless of a nomination, you have put in more work and effort than I believe Anet themselves have put into PvP. And for that, they should be kissing your kitten and taking you along for the ride.
That said, putting you in the all-stars roster when there are several other top tier players not on that list is what is irking people. I don’t believe it’s anything personally against you, so try not to take it personally, people are just upset because the list looks more like a popularity contest than a true “All-Stars” list.
Best of luck friend. I hope you get to go, you deserve it.
