GW: Nightfall Boycott

Hello all. First thing I want to say is that I have been an average player in the Guuild Wars community since a bit after release (950+ hrs), albeit not a very prominent one. Dealt with the bugs, the nerfs, the economy crashes, the events, (not much pvp though ) But we all know this thread is'nt about me. It's about why I think that you should boycott the purchase of GW Nightfall (which I think is going to be badass BTW). First, do me a personal favor, and read a bit of this thread.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10012840

This girl's story touched my heart, so much that I think her story should not die in a flurry of posts, /signed by semi-concerned gamers, and a bit of an explanation by Gaile Gray herself. This is an actual issue that I think you should all know about. We all know Anet really doesn't give a sh*t about one person's inability to pla guildwars, hell, we don't pay monthly, so as soon as we purchase, they really don't have any incetives to keep us playing. But we can make Anet give a shi*t about what has happened to this person, whether or not it is actually cost-effectively feasible and all that bs shouldnt really matter, making yourself a better human being is. I know that my writing and persuasion skills are definitley not as good as most of you out here, but I do know that we can at least make Anet make a serious consideration as to providing a system to customize our GUI to our liking.

So, in conclusion, until I personally see a valid effort toward this step, I will forego my pleasure from GW:nightfall for the greater common good, hoping you will too. (S'cuse the corny moment.)

/Wholehearteldy, teary-eyed signed...

Also, some feedback would be appreciated, fell free to flame me. I would like to know what other's thoughts are on this.

(sorry fro the misspells, 4am here...)

That is the worst and most misinformed part of any post I've ever read on this board (minus the other psots that say the same thing).

So the rest of the words on this page lose all their meaning to me..

I'm buying the new game just because you said that.

I might sound like I'm flaming, but here it goes:

I don't care.

Why am I posting here then? Because I can. Guild Wars has corrupted my willingness to become a so called 'better human being'. There is simply no such thing.

This girl is in the minority. Tell me, how many disabled people play this game? I can tell you that not much of them even play this game. So why should Anet change the interface for just 1 disabled person?

Just because someone's disabled doesn't mean that they are right about everything. It also doesn't mean that they automatically deserve your sympathy either.

/My useless opinion.

a) It's the right thing to do.

b) She is not the only one upset with the stupid new interface.

At least with ATI video cards, it is possible to set game specific color profiles so you don't have to play with global monitor settings. Ati Tray Tools program can do that.

The cold fact is that most of the games will always follow majority of people. Minority will suffer, that can't be helped much. Good business can't please everyone. In this case the change would be pretty minor because it is about the interface style. They will give options if it is important enough. It is up to them.

Sorry, maybe I'm cold-hearted person but I won't boycott a great game because of one person or even because of minority. It is not my fault if some people aren't normal. Beside forum community is too little for boycotts anyway. You maybe get maximum couple hundred users from the one million community. That is not even a percent.

Jesus Christ! Do you have a heart of stone or something. Being a sensitive individual, I was touched by her story. How would you like it if you had discapabilities or such? I mean we are all very lucky if we have no discapabilities and the least we could do is to help others. In the Bible it says to treat others as you would yourself. You are certainly not doing that.

I agree with you. They don't even make a full number. 1/1,000,000 is 0.0000001%.

So we should change the interface because 0.0000001% of the community said so?

Blame it on GW. I used to be a very nice person when I first joined, but from the amount of assholes/scammers/abusers I've met in there, I've simply lost all hope for humanity. I am the product of their evil.

Please for the love of god, change it back to the old UI. This new one is so god damn bright with flashy RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing colors.

I say boo hoo. Life isn't fair.

The same goes for NVidia cards.

I don't know if you've read the second post by Gaile on that forum, but it seems to me that they are considering this problem, at the very least.

While i see most of you guys' viewpoints, i cant agree with those who say theyve been "corrupted" and you dont care. I'm pretty sure i'm a bigger asshole than most. I laughed when the planes hit the twin towers until i realized my history teacher was bawling like a baby. I just started thinking to myself, it's pretty obvious that nothing is relaly going to get changed. But maybe i can try to do something, whether misguided or not it is not the right thing to do to, not to ignore someone becuse they are a minroty and etc.

I will still buy nightfall just to get the new skills for pvp. My sympathy ends at friends and family. Im not the type of person who will help a stranger if it comes at any cost more than a minor annoyance to me. And to be honest, I dont really care if that makes me a mean person or whatever.

Former Ruling and Captain Arne all i have to say is LOL LOL LOL

Ok, as to Demesis's post, a simple solution is for a UI choice in the upcoming nightfall and if so in a patch to the game. Another thing to Demesis's post: there is simply such a thing as a better human being. To say there is no such thing is to say that humans as a species is perfect in every aspect and does not need to 'better' themselves. Saying that there is no such thing as a better human being first of all implies inconsideration and then your view of a minority causing the majority to 'suffer' just proves it; and what does "Just because someone's disabled doesn't mean that they are right about everything" mean? I think that was a low blow and was unnecessary. Now "Guild Wars has corrupted my willingness to become a so called 'better human being'." WTH??? This means you should man up scams and scandals and shitted up crap, since that's the real world, If GW has affected you in such a way, STOP PLAYING IT.

*sigh*

First of all, I feel for that girl. I'm not a cold hearted bastard.... well not that cold hearted... BUT boycotting a game because a single disabled individual can't play it just won't happen and shouldnt happen.

However, I'm not at all opposed to being able to customize and choose your own GUI.

Lastly, I have to say it's pretty crappy for you people to use that girl to further your own agenda. This isnt about her at all, you dont care about her so stop using her. You don't like the changes so you're just using that poor girl as an excuse to boycott and get your way. Pathetic.

I rest my case.

Eh once Quake Wars comes out, Im saying goodbye to Guild Wars. I'd have to agree though, the changes to the UI are just horrible. Just got done with an hours worth of PVP and my eyes are killing the sh*t outta me..

First off your dealing with this all wrong. The new interface comes with or withour Nightfall.

Her problem is a sad one indeed and Arena Net needs to help but insulting them and not buying their products is not going to solve anything.

For a start it is a bigger percentage that that, a lot bigger and we should be able to change it in options which one we want.

Dude...staring hours at a screen would strain any eyes regardless of what GUI it is....
