The above humoristic text shouldn't be taken seriously and doesn't reflect the view of the actor about ANet and GuildWars comunity ... well, maybe a bit.

Where is the humoristic part of that? Do you think players get too much gold rewards? I think the opposite.

Is it sad that I actually want some of these changes?

I know it's trying to be funny, but I guess there are two kinds of people:

The kind that thinks that games should be work, and that if you're not wasting time farming gold, buying skills and hunting down perfect Inscriptions in Trade Talk then you're pathetic.

The other kind wants to just play the game, not worry about all the BS of unlocking skills, finding perfect weapons, getting just the right combination of Insignia and Runes, etc.

(you can see the direction I lean towards...)

He's reading into it.

This is obviously a sarcastic comment on the update that boosts characters to level 20 in GWEN.

I still don't understand why it upsets people. I really don't.
