Check the Automated Tournament times. I think there's one or two a week us Euros can actually make without staying up to the early hours of the morning.
Anet doesn't care for Europe Players?

The reason that there are no Dutch servers: Only when the game is translated into dutch, but there is no company doing that. Italy has gotten their servers purely because there is a translation company backing it...not because there are only 200 players playing on their districts!

WTH?
Hats ... This topic isnt about hats ... =/ It isnt about events either, its about that Anet does support Europe players ...
- PlayNC doesn't respond back about the Bonus Mission Pack
- No other payments in the store for dutch and belgian players
My complaint is and will still be
Anet get your lazy bum of that chair and do something for your players, let them know, you care!
Let them know you will do something for them! But now how you are doing it right now! Some people feel you left them in the cold ...

I find it kind of sad that Arena Net is failing (or going to fail) to provide players with alternative payment options to get the Bonus Mission Pack.
Dutch people might be known to be greedy and carefull use with money, but using credit cards on the internet just isn't safe, could aswell use PayPal instead.
I had to use my dads credit card without his permission, by the time he finds out I'll be playing the Bonus Mission Pack.

i agree, anet does favour nearly everywhere except europe , but this isn't wow , there aren't online fees for all the big improvements etc , anet is a business , it can't afford everything

But then give everyone who bought GWEN the bonus mission pack.
So you can make it stil fair!
Or they had to release "GW Pre Paid Cards"
So you could buy them in your local retailer shop, but not this way, this is so unfair.
And yes Anet favour indeed everything except Europe, its like Anet doesnt even like Europe -_-'
Even when GW beta came out, Europe players had to import them out of America.
But stil i think Anet should have make a system so you can bank money to a bank account where you need to leave your account name/email adress ...
So Anet could contact you, but this is and will always be unfair ...
Edit:
Etta dont forgot the korean players have coke items -_- (not the drugs)
And yes your right, Anet should care about their Players and not about the money in their pockets!

All the people that speak Dutch in the game are either young players or childish morans. I have yet to meet an intelligent dutch player.
Don't get me wrong, I don't hate dutch, heck I'm dutch myself.
I just seems to run into a lot of retards that's all.

If there was a Dutch server, I would be hanging around in the american districts, for both translations and all the 'NL/BE Guild zoeken members'.
As for event times: There are always whiners. Anet took 0:00 EST as begin and end time. If they would be doing 0:00 GMT, then there will be Europeans who think that Americans are in favor of them, because they have better times (starting at noon, ending at noon).

The point was Anet should start caring about the players, the only person at Anet that cares about the players is Gaile ...
Well the only thing i know is that if Anet not should start caring they wont see me in GW2 >.< (Not that they care ... =/ its only 1 person of 1.000.00)
And btw the bonus mission pack isnt for free ... So i think that is the reason why we wont get it with "GWEN"
You have to pay 26€ for something else, and then you will get the BMP, so you pay 26€ for it.
And yes because alot of people posted here, we got offtrack >.>

Other problems aside -
I have not and will not order from the online store or buy any other expansion or game from ANet until they begin to treat all customer fairly.
Although I live in the US and could easily use a credit card and have even given up on the hope they would drop the idiot notion that you must tie your game account to a PlayNC account, I have not ordered anything - although I would love the Bonus Mission Pack.
I did purchase GWEN from a retailer to finish the story line. My sons' accounts and my mule account did not get GWEN, however, because there was no way I was going to shell out another 120.00 to an unfair company. Neither will I buy GW2 or any online offering (or any retail games for that matter) from ANet until they make things fair globally in their sales department.
In a global market there is absolutely no excuse to charge exorbitant prices in some parts of the world (Australia and New Zealand) and to make it virtually impossible to order at all in other areas. There is no excuse to separate out promotions in different areas - offering one miniature in one area and others in another is just a way of creating hard feelings and jealousy among the player base.
This is bad marketing ANet. You act like it is an American/Korean game to which you grudgingly invite a few players from other parts of the world. You made a global game, it's high time you get your heads on right and start acting like it.
Bad Anet - no cookie!

Anyway, the bottom line is, Anet can't do all the good things for everyone and everywhere. ANet made, fix, update, nerf the game but NCSoft is the one who're selling it, make a promotional deal in different part of the world, online system payment, t-shirt, underwear, mouse etc.
If anyone should get a blame it is NCSoft.

personally as far as districts go, i think the very best option would be to remove EVERY district except English, and then make an international district, like there used to be. that way no one gets treated unfairly. everyone gets an equal share
as far as the ingame store goes, here in Denmark i can get a combined bank-card and visa-card, and its cheap too, i don't pay much for it.
So why can't you get it that cheap in other countries? (it's possible to do it that cheap) it's more a problem with the individual countries than with GW. and just how would you pay for paypal without a CC anyway?

The dutch are behind the times in almost every area, and really need to realize this.
Of the several banks I have done business with in the USA NONE of them charge a monthly fee, unlike the dutch banks who charge just to fricking talk to them!
But alas this is not about the dutch, its just a simple fact. Hence, I can totally understand why Anet does not go above and beyond to do business with them in outstanding aspects.

Well, I'm from Belgium and I have no problems with anything of it.
I paid with Visa (Visa costs about 20 € per year, not 30 € per month!).
If you don't have Visa maybe you can ask your dad or girlfriend who has one.
And concerning the language it is no real issue because we speak 4 languages.
A lot of others European countries don't have stuff in their language either.
The start hour of an event is also no big deal as we all have 24 hours in a day.

I'm a bit confused here.. I'm in Australia, and shouldn't we complain that most weekend events carry into our Monday and that means taking a sicky to enjoy the event? If Europe, who are about 12 hours behind us are complaining about getting a shorter event because of that.. least you guys get it saturday/sunday not sunday/monday
Yeah, too tired to make sense or want to make sense.
Also, someone very smart (NC Soft) decided that Australia/New Zealand is part of Europe, though Australia pays in pounds and NZ in Euro.. and why is the UK still using Pounds anyway??

1 euro is 2.20 gulden, and they make from gulden euro's, before the euro you paid 1.35 gulden for a bread and now you pay 2 euro's for a bread ...

Wow.. this complaint is like..
"waaaat!!!! Anet is starting the event 12pm PST! They don't care about those in EST!!! baawwww!!!"
It's not like the end of the world if you don't make the beginning of the event. Remember that the mad king comes every 6 hours?
Anet is an American company. Wait, so it's not true that Europeans hate Americans?
Go whine to NCSoft, not Anet.

If Visa has different kinds of cards over here, they're woefully inept at marketing them, because despite living over here for my entire life, I never heard of it.

That said.... I'm denied an awful lot of really awesome games because they're not released outside of Japan, or simply not released in Europe (and my consoles can't play import games).... but it isn't as though I feel I have some innate right to have them.

This is funny.
I want a luxemburgish district! Now! A-net doesn't care about the 30-ish luxemburgish GuildWars players (half of which I probably know personnally )! Add luxemburgish translations!
That district would be awesome to meet your friends though. There's a big chance it would be empty. Always.

I guess trying to convince the UK that being part of the EU might include changing currency to Euro is like convincing the US that measuring distance in metres rather than feet and miles is a good idea...
I certainly felt like we were still an English colony when I was faced with having to pay for my online purchase in pounds. (btw, we still have the English queen as head of state, so I guess that still makes us an English colony)

The Visa Check card is NOT a traditional Visa that is the point you are missing. Visa Check Cards are not issued by Visa they are issued by your BANK! It is a debit card which carries the Visa LOGO for accessibility purposes without the drawbacks of a traditional credit card.
It is the banks that are woefully inept for not offering them in the first place, not Visa as they don't come from Visa. As far as not wanting your money, its more likely not worth the headache for the amount it would generate.

If you want to know how its been here in the Netherlands?
They want to take the money away from Students, they have to take a loan, and when they finish school they need to pay the money back!
How its been now at this moment is that kids older then eighteen get money to go to school, its not much, but you can buy schoolstuff from the money!
And they want to take the money away to pay teachers from it!
So thats going on, in the dutch society, so do you think they will add visacards on your bank system?

Just because the government want to cheat you out of other stuff doesn't mean that bank cards are totally out of the question.
