I think your last line falls into this category.

I think suggesting I am "simply a closed-minded or biased individual whose conviction that his [sic] is the only valid opinion..." falls into that category.

Myself suggesting, that for me personally, reading fanboy sycophancy is not as much fun as reading complaints, is self professed opinion. Not that I have anything against a well produced 'flame' - read *funny* - it's just that, to quote Christopher Hitchens - "I haven't even taken my pants off yet".

All else aside, my post was made with an (albeit casual) argument to support it, even though it was always expressed as my personal view. Your post appeared to have no other purpose than that of a vague ad hominen attack. If I was prone to flaming I might label you a pretentious idiot.*

I apologise to any who consider my post questioning the usefulness of a double xp for capping elites weekend lacking in much detail, I guess I didn't want to put more work into it than Anet put into this weekend's special event.

* NB: that's a Risky Ranger style 'flame', but executed more forcefully and with the courage of personal conviction. : )

Some of us have lvl 20 characters that need to level heroes too. This seems like a good way to do it =D

GL with that TGgold. Heros can't use SoC and the exp boast you get when you cap a skill only applies to you.

It seems to me that it is alright for you to bash people and or ANET because it is your opinion, but if one gives their opinion of your statement they are flaming you. You can't have things both ways, if you want to hand it out you should be able to take it in return. Back to the OP, why should ANET concentrate on a bonus weekend when they have an expansion out in a few weeks. If it is easier to use an repeat special so be it, it is better than nothing at all. You must remember that there are new people playing all the time.

April 20-22. Can you believe it was that long ago?! Three months already! Where does the time go? I'd also like that bonus again at some point as I have nine more characters that still need work on those tracks.

Lol i cant believe the irony, i started playing not too long after that XD
