The entire Wintersday thing is about having FUN. And it's not for the "1337" snobs out there who think winning is the only option.
Yeah, I like winning as much as the next player. And yeah, I don't enjoy getting grouped up with clueless people who get stomped because of not knowing what they're doing. But what ruins the FUN for me more than anything is the Leavers, AFKers, and jackasses that insist on calling people "n00bs" for any reason. It's even more annoying when the person doing the bashing is a bad player him/herself!
Snowball Fights DVG wtf?

I have a dream of Guild Wars as a game where you can play PvP with your friends, in organized teams. Where matches are decided not by number of people in your team who understand what the PvP mode is about, but by actual battles for presents with snaring, knockdowns, speed boosts, backing up your teammates.

Good thing you can give them advice, even though half of the people won't listen to it. Q.Q

What do you expect? Any PvP where you can't choose your team results in noob after noob ruining it. Look at RA. Look at AB.
The only sad thing is i can't rage on them in order to save myself 5minutes, dishonour ftl.
Losing has never been fun, and never will.

Think of that as a game of luck, and the number of retarded pve players in your team a way to measure your bad luck.

So many people in that arena are "Guild Wars is serious business"

68 consecutive. That's what happens when you got 4 guys working on gamer, and all complement each other's play style =D
Only reason we stopped is me and another guy had to wake up in 5 hours

I had a 10-win streak with an awesome team, sucks we lost to a better team. Lost 5-4 too, but we had a good run really 
.
I went in a couple times after, didn't expect getting another win, and I was right. I gave up after 3 or 4 more runs.
But at the same time, yes, I'd like to team up with my friends maybe in a different DvsG arena. Else I'll just deal with the noobs and reduce play time in there to avoid blowing up in local, lol.

luckily with the new snowman dungeon quest, I can still get ccs when I am hexed with ragequit-due-to-loaders-noobs-and-nonpickerupers.
I have little time off work (wont even be able to get my hats this year- ill be 3k miles from my cpu for wintersday) but if you guys see a monk wearing a demon-mask and wielding wintergreen spear/eternal shield.... thats me. Last year, I was the naked pumpkin head rit.
Was in a really good group with a Meep member last night... dropped out after 10 matches to get something to eat, came back later and got owned by my old team like 6 times in a row :L
I love snowball fight arenas. Unfortunately with working, Ill be lucky to get to Numchuk Skillz before its over

Snowball fights can be seen as a serious field to gain gamer pts and CCS or as a different aspect of the GW game, but either way it would be more convenient and a more enjoyable "mini game", if i can call it, if there was a version where you could team up with ppl of your choosing.

I don't like losing either.
But ya know, this is a snowball festival arena, so yes I will say it; If you're taking this holiday event as serious as a competitve tournament for cash prizes, then you're missing the point.
Never in my life have I've been a part of a festival, a celebration of the season, that so far, has brought out the worst in so many players in the mini-game arena department.
We all want to win, but honestly, some are just taking it too far.
I'll go cast my mantra of flame now
And in the end I'll still invite you over for some eggnog and Turkey and cranberry sauce. Yummy!

I'd love to have an organized version of snowball fights, the current version isn't even fun, terrible grind to get gamer points. And give both teams avalance, its stupid that one team gets a snare and the other doesn't.
"I say your 3 cent titanium tax goes too far""And I say your 3 cent titanium tax doesn't go too far enough" lol
Differing opinions, I would prefer everyone take it serious then everyone press tab and spam 1. I don't appriciate when someone goes and does nothing but spam snowballs, and so I express my displeasure with their actions. After all, if you don't complain nothing gets changed. If I can just get 1 person to suck less at snowball fights it would make me happy.

Ive got over 2000 gamer points and all i can say is the amount of aggro for this title is mind blowing and believe me i have a lot of patience, but its also fun is a masochistic sort of way
Everytime i start snowball arena it is fun but after say 5 losses- lets just say the temptation to rage quit is getting higher. Points more or less come as all or nothing. Get a decent team and win 15+ consecs or keep getting more and more frustraited till you find one.
When your going for gamer title you experiance a different kind of fun, the type youd get when playing an RTS as opposed to a RPG. If your teammates are just having a laugh and you loose its incredibly frustraiting and not fun anymore, on the other hand if they all tried their best and lost its dissapointing but GG.
All i can say is don't take it too seriously if you don't want to, but atleast put in the effort to play it properly e.g. capture presents dont stand around fighting,learn where the spawn points are,learn to use your class specific skill and then just maybe you won't piss people off.

Maybe guild wars should have an evaluation exam in order to play it.
Or maybe people who get stressed out by other players video game skills, should make a private server, or go play a game with private servers.

Only one team getting Avalanche is frustrating. Can't count the number of times I lost a 5-4 as Grenth and thinking that if the teams were swapped, it would have been 5-2.

Anyway, If there are so many 'noobs' that would affect the opposite team just as much, and you (ofcourse) not being a 'noob', would be able to win since your team (on average) is slightly less noobish.
Or is it just your team that has 'noobs'. In that case, I would recommend a mirror.

Nice on 42 strikes.
Anyway, before I start a battle I always say:
remember to steal presents
Usually I always get at least 5 victories.

Sheesh, it's a holiday event. Forget about elitism for a change, stop ragging on the "noobs" that might want to just play it for fun, and forget about treating it like some all-important PvP tournament.
Lighten up and have fun. /fistshake
lol xD

I am not new to PvP, but I am new to this particular event. I didn't know what to expect from it at all and how it would be played, but it sounded like something I wanted to try, so I did. Took me a while to get used to the abilities and remember where they were hotkeyed and what they did. That may have led to a few losses, but I was still figuring things out. Once I got the hang of it, I started returning presents and having fun with it.
I couldn't agree more that the spirit of the event was for some very lighthearted festive fun, and that taking things far too seriously makes you...well...a Grentch!

Gotta love the newbies that get a present to the wrong side and actually stand there being perplexed why he won't accept it...
partially sarcasm in the previous statement, on the one side i find it funny and on the other side to sad to be true not to mention he's turning it practical 5 vs 3...
i quitted snowball since i have better things to do with my time now, good idea lousy people lol

Wow dont even start with this its not their fault its your fault. Yeah I'm pretty sure i have mastered the extremely difficult and compelx art of snowballing. I can only carry my team for so long its kind of hard to go out and get 5 presents by yourself why your retarded teams insist on spamming snowballs at one guy or just looking at your opponent running off with a present. Honestly snowball arena is the most frusterating area in gwars ever it is the absololute noob hole of all gwars and i would die for any organized snowballing. I have reached +30 wins several times this year with teams that know how to work and know its "GET 5 PRESENTS FIRST TO WIN". Its just for every good team like even one that can get +3 you have like 10 idiotic teams.
