There ar not any collectors around. I figured ANET would be good enuf to put in collectors when Wintersday started. But, once again, they like to screw us. If they're gonna keep running events they need to do it properly.

They've always done it this way...

The first day is always just the town decorations.

Collectors will be here in a day or two.

Oh and....how did they screw you by doing the same thing they have done for every other festival? Please explain to me how that works.

Gives you time to collect the materials. A couple of days of snowball fighting and you'll have enough to knock up something decent.

Will it be like other events where everyone's scrambling to get all the nifty collectables which hardly ever drop, and then they just give away craploads of it at the end anyway?

Considering the only reason this event is cool is because of the quests and collectors...yeah I'm looking forward and hoping it comes asap. Cause Snowball fights bore me more than GW itself.

They probably do like too screw people that would make a comment such as this. If I was the one in charge, I'd do things on purpose, just so we all could sit at coffee break and have a good laugh as we read all the ragebois, demanding their demands, and stomping their feet when a event wasnt run right, and according too the bloody schedule.

Anyone else find it ironic all these threads of people whining about something are filled people whining about others whining?

You need to check the definition of whining. Now that is ironic.

Nothing like getting screwed by FREE content and FREE gifts. Dude I'm going to set up my psychology 5 cent stand in-game for you.

Hopefully they add the collectors by tomorrow or I won't be able to turn my stuff in (going out of town.)

Seems to me someone is upset by having farmed for drops early and often; now out of storage and was hoping to make a quick buck. I hope they change what is needed for the drops that the collectors are wanting.

That will be a good laugh at hearing the screams.

Here's hoping the collectors show up ... since last Wintersday I have saved just over 2000 charr carvings and garg skulls by farming a little here and a little there.

I hope that A-Net decides to make the collectible items Encrusted Loadstones, Glowing Hearts and Mountain Troll Tusks just to "appease" all the farmers that have been hoarding collectibles pre-event...

Someone owes me 100 carvings. >> He better hurry.

Anyway... as the... second post? said, it's ALWAYS like this where the IDIOTS complain and whine and spend all their money and blah blah blah but on the last day everyone is happy. Ohhh the valuables I made in the first Orbing days. One question, who let this topic go this far? Mods, no more coffee breaks. D<

Yup, stupid Anet, always screwing us by doing a ton of work to give us a free holiday event. Those bastards.

isnt it obvious, this guy has spent ages farming collector items and is one of these greedy little a-holes who ruin events by spamming they have 500 of whatever to sell at 1k a time.

events would be so much better without collectors so people actually have fun instead of trying to rip people off for their own gain

I played the Snowball Arena since the theme is up, I have played 50+ rounds of which I have 5 won. The team I'm in every time is or full of leavers, people who hardly know how to play it, people who bring presents the wrong way, people who think it's killing only. Besides that I have 3mbit connection and in most of the games I have a ping always <60 but in GW it ain't gonna drop below 150 and most of the time it's 240 +. Also when I have a present and wanna bring it and someone make me drop the present, it get's 80% dropped 5 yards away from me instead on the place were someone did the skill.

I stopped playing it, it ain't fun with lag, crappy teams and stuff, and the skill are also not really balanced if you ask me. A necro can do a skill which drops your heal in a certain area insanely fast and being crippled + lag mean you die in secs on that place. I think I wait until everyone is sick of it and give a try again, but right now it ain't funny with the lag and bad teams or leavers.

I can't wait till these whiners enter the work force:

Boss: Congratulations, I'm giving you a 5% pay raise.
Whiner: WHAT??!! Once again you've screwed me again because I wanted a 10% raise.
Boss: ?!
Whiner: And another thing, I've been working here 1 year, I should've gotten this raise the second week I was here.
Boss: You're fired!
Whiner: There you go again screwing me over.
Boss: Just bend over...

And to think I threw away my left over Candy Cane Shards from last year.

Someone was trying to sell 50 Charr Carvings for 35K.

And other nuttiness is going on. I think sitting back and watching the local chat go by is currently the most entertaining thing going on in this game!

SWEET.
Maybe I can afford some of that new kit now.

I always wondered why people seemed to be willing to pay a premium for Charr carvings. Sold some to pay for other upgrades. etc. (Playing through with some friends for the first time)

Hey Selket, long time no see!

Everyone don't worry, the event suppose to be week long so we'll see the collectors and those Wintersday quests either today or sometime this weekend!
