Is Glint actually Gwen? I ve heard this at some point. Thinking about it Gwen was there when you started and Glint seemed to know that your destiny did not end laying on her cave floor.... you heard this alot if you couldnt beat Glint. Just a thought.

I don't see any connection at all there. Ya, Gwen was at the beggining of the game, and Glint knows you don't die on the cave floor...so what do they have to do with each other???

Not everyone went for the bonus, because not everyone actually cared. So why would people hear this alot if they couldn't beat Glint? You have still completed the mission just by getting to glint. You don't have to listen to it more than once.

I'd like to see how you made the connection between Gwen being at the beggining of the game and Glint telling you later on that your story does not end, halfway through the story...

Oh Noes! The 'burbs!

I'm kind of wondering why the OP cares, since GW is a dying game, according to them. Other than that, I don't see the connection at all.

They should make a new expanded area, Gwen's Lair. Exactly the same as Dragon's Lair, only harder and with Gwen at the end, only now she's 9 years old (it was only 2 years).

But really, Gwen =/= Glint

Glint = Dragon old as Tyria
Gwen = Little pyro girl with issues.

The OP cares because he's a troll, and is getting sick of being farmed by chinese bots.

There were numerous hints about Gwen living on after the searing at various points in Tyria and Gwen's dead mother speaking of her in underworld, wondering where she was which lead people to believe there was something to do with a quest.

Gwen was the little pyro who killed everyone at the end of the original Beta testing.

There was a thread on this a good while back, I just wish the search wasn't broken.

More or less it is just that people don't like loose ends. Unfortunately, Prophecies left more than a few, especially in the Gwen line. People probably would have just let it go, but Arenanet left reminders of Gwen throughout the game. The place was littered with broken flutes, torn capes, and even ghosts talking about her in the highest levels of the game.

This is so true

I don't know what you were smoking when you came up with the connection that Glint was Gwen. It doesn't even make any sense.

Maybe he read one of my older posts...

I've already explained once that Gwen is actually Glint, who is in her turn Gaile Gray. Also the Fortune Teller is the same person, no doubt her name starts with a G as well.

Why is this the same person? It is just speculation, based on numerous observations. All their names start with a G (except for the nameless Fortune Teller) and all are female. They all play a significant role in the outcome of each chapter.

Without Gwen, the Searing never would have began. I read somewhere that someone found proof of Gwen being disgusted by the food at McCharrs and she complained. This cataclysmed into an allout war between humanity and charrness.
Glint is an alknowing oracle... but she 'forgets' to tell you that the Vizier is actually already long undead and is the force behind the undead army. Good from you 'chosen ones' that you were fooled by her, to keep him alive long enough, to kill off her long-sworn enemies - the Mursaat. Then you have to kill him, as he has served his purpose. He was just a pawn of some greater power.
Just like Shiro was seduced into killing the emperor. The emperor actually already knew he was going to die, because the Fortune Teller had told him, that it was his destiny. Have you ever asked yourself, why the Fortune Teller was never shocked that Shiro killed her in his rage? Shiro had to kill an emperor, to become an Envoy. The Fortune Teller knew that in the future heroes would arise to kill this Envoy, which allows a great evil power to enter the mortal realm. Because when an Envoy is killed, a great rift between the mortal and ethereal realms will open.
In Nightfall, this rift will open (hence the name Nightfall, because as long as the rift is open, no sunbeams will reach the earth). We will discover that Glint used a portion of her essence to create Gwen. If you ask how this is possible, ask yourself, how is it possible to create fire from your hands or summon spirits?
In Nightfall, the queen of all that is evil will finally reveal her true name: Gaile Gray, and all is doomed.

The last part might be a bit speculation, and maybe the rest is as well. But I bet my Starter Bow that there will be an evil female character in Nightfall, plotting behind the scenes and her name will start with a G...
