that would be other part of Anet's job, this is something else, i thought of it because they put in on their front page 5,000,000 Best Fans Ever, obviously, Anet is very happy, so to mark the happy occasion, a celebration for Anet and its Best Fans Ever.

I won't hold my breath on it if I were you. Not to mention the fact that this whole "zomg we sold 5 million units" thing smells more like a marketing crap than anything else.
Oops, sorry for pointing that out.

I know GW can sometimes be called E-Peen Wars, but this is silly.

5,000,000 Best Fans Ever. How many of those accounts are getting used for Botting, Ingame Advertising, Exploiting Glitches...
I see no need for a celebration really, and as posted above, I'd rather see ANet working on fixing bugs instead of conjuring up yet another minipet.

I see an "advertisement" to a game on www.guildwars.com website, what else?
Are you trying to tell me that Anet and NCSoft (or Blizzard or whatever) make an announcement saying "We sold/have 5,000,000 game units/active subscribers" AND a big banner with 5,000,000 in gold color as a "THANK YOU" for their customers?
Seriously?
If I sell something in my store and I sold it for 1,000,000 units and I want to "thank" my customers, I'm SURE AS HELL won't do it by making an announcement about it in local newspaper OR placing a big banner over my store; I'd give my customers free stuff OR give them some discounts OR give them a "thank you" card. Tell me you don't find that reasonable.
Now, I'm not saying Anet have to do anything. I'm just trying to point out to the OP that the whole thing happened with marketing in mind, not to "thank" us.
Clear enough? Seriously just quit the BFB club so we can talk (or otherwise) some sense into you.

I think they should do something to thank us. Something that's good and beneficial to me. Idc about anyone else. Something like 500 lockpics for all my dedication.

Not arguing with you here. Just agreeing with you publically.

I thought Cacheelma was pretty clear, and although misunderstandings can always happen, it's not a reason to start insulting people for being ignorant, just because YOU read their post wrong.

I mean, normally, when you see "best fans ever" there is an obvious hint that they are thankful. If it wasn't because of us they wouldn't have made 5 million, and they've been announcing this for every millionth, so what's the big deal? I mean gosh, them marketing a new campaign or expansion has more of an effect than announcing that they're popular, because those ones are targeted at existing players, which would be a larger audience than those who haven't played before.
If you're really unsurprised that they would pull something like this because you think it's all just a big scam, then I guess you would have thought that them advertising EotN back then was also a marketing scam - it made people happy as well as sales, didn't it? I don't see any one-sidedness about that.

Christ. Stop bashing on Cacheelma already!
He/she's NOT disagreeing at all, but simply stating Anet is doing marketing, and even though they might be thankfull, they probably will not create an event to celebrate it. The OP was suggesting such an event would be a nice way for Anet to really thank the players, and Cacheelma explained why that's not gonna happen. And I agree that Anet might be thankfull, but this is all just publicity. Can't blame Anet either.

ArenaNet updated the GW Website with a large "5,000,000" and the caption "Best...Fans...Ever"
I sense some false advertising somewhere.

I have a feeling that would lead to a whole lot of pissed off people.

I've been reading through the posts here and I can see both sides of the debate... I do believe that ANet is honestly gratefully for their fans and do want to show their thanks..... (from the look of Riverside sometimes it makes me wonder why
lol).I don't think it is bad that they choose to advertise this at all. I however don't believe its just a marketing ploy either. Yes, they need marketing but thats just the nature of the business. They wouldn't have 5,000,000 copies sold if they didn't.
ANet does make an effort to see what their fans want. Not everyone gets what everyone wants but thats the nature of the beast. They have shown many times over and over again that they are dedicated to their fans. Part of the reason I love Guild Wars so much.

The debate? What debate. You have Two very well know Trolls, who spend their entire life on this forum whining and griping. Its truely amazing that these trolls still get fed.
What's wrong with success? It's well deserved. Guild Wars is the best MMO I've ever played. Arena Net is very grateful. They'll likely sell near 7+ million copies by the time GW2 is in the pipe.
Grats Arena Net. Keep grinding the naysayer's noses in it, you've done an amazing job.
