Amen to the thread starter! Ive been getting tired of seeing all you people go on about how the game is over, ITS NOT! Shit i still love playing Guild Wars, ranks right up there with my all time favorite games, and its not an easy task ranking next to Mario Kart!

We always need to remember however that only a small percentage of people use these forums and that not everyone in the world thinks GW is dying. the ones that dont come on forums are to damn busy playing the game because they enjoy it!!!

Where are these posts? I just went back 15 pages(just a quik chek).
In fact I think the complaining about complainers has finally eclipsed itself, it seems almost every day there is a new thread about it, stand bye for utter confusion and anarchy.
PS:OK did a search for Guildwars dying, and I think I found the post that must have prompted this one. Its in Sardelac and was posted yesterday, my apologies Fishy.

Stop making posts asking people to stop making posts about GW dying.

There, I said it!

Seriously, some people are upset with certain issues and exaggerate sometimes making those threads, and some people like the game and their counter-reaction is too forceful.

Complaining about complainers isnt a good thing

Its not so much just threads which ive noticed over the last few weeks stating the game is dying. Although im certain that over the last few weeks I've seen atleast 3 or threads all titled "how the game is dying".

The other times ive seen people state the game is dying is inside threads. More often then not, in completely unrelated threads. People seem to be entering threads and then going off on tandums and talking about PUG numbers falling and THEN start on about how the entire game is dying.

But just to prove me right, search for threads called...

"Will Guild Wars be around for 5+ years? "

"Why GuildWars is Dying and How This Idea (player ratings) will save it." - uses the dying thing to get attention to his thread

"what guild wars could have been" - suggests come campaigns are dead

I know there are more...

3 million units now sold, good yes?

prophesies sold 2 million, hmmmm?

as i understood it the units sold figure includes all chapters, suggesting only half a milion units of factions and half a million of nightfall units have been sold???????????????

I wish people would stop making threads saying Guild Wars is NOT dying. Ignorance is bliss as they say.

The two million units sold announcement came shortly after the release of Factions... which leads me to believe it included Factions sales. The three million announcement came, you guessed it, after Nightfall was released.

Here we go, a prophecy by me, Anet will announce 4 million units sold shortly after Chapter 4! ZOMG! I am the great Nostradamus risen from the dead!

Well that was an indepth explanation wasnt it! Are you not going to elaberate on why its dying or were you just making an unvalidated statement?

Anyone claiming GW PvP is dying would be entirely correct though.

Each campaign has seen an additional million mark sold. They're counting all sales in the 3 million sold.

Think I’ll start a new thread: ‘the end of the world in nigh, and we are all going to die’

That should keep the doom merchants happy for a while

I seriously think that complaining about the complainers in a new thread is getting a bit tiresome here at Guru. I know some here think the mods are a bit harsh on closing threads sometimes but I personally think there should be more of it. I think the OP could have just posted his opinion in one of those threads he is talking about and call it a day and shouldn't have started a thread about a thread IMHO.

No offense OP, I have agreed with some stuff you have said in the past
