Just a quick reminder that if you want to make predictions for March's monthly Automated Tournament you need to do that before this weekend. The Xunlai house is a great way to get involved in the AT, even if you don't actually participate in the battles.

If you are curious how others are predicting, or if you wish to share your insight, please check out this thread: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10267953

And, of course, you can find the Xunlai Tournament House here: http://www.guildwars.com/competitive...se/default.php

Good luck!

Well, you know that one team? The one with the guild emblem on the back of their cape? I recommend you place them pretty high on the list!

is it worth backing the regulars, or anyone got a good feeling about any outsiders this time?

That's a hot tip. I totally voted for that team, and I'll rake in the points for sure. You know the one. *wink

edit: Already cast my predictions yesterday, but thanks for the heads-up.

Voted yesterday, and I am one of the lucky ones that gets my reward points.

Sucks for those that still haven't gotten theirs from 5 months ago.

I just randomly pick the top 8 randomly

Got mine made. I don't have a clue what the Q.P. number means, but I pick the ones around 70-80 in my choices.

Might have something to do with Qualifier Points.

Made mine, maybe I should also do some for my storage account
I usually create my top8 based upon the number of QP's, GvG/HB rankings & last months tournament, and try to find a good combination of those

I have to say, being one of the people that helps players when they have issues with the Xunlai house, that a vast majority of reports of bugs (at least 95%) turn out to be user error. Either the account is not registered through Tolkano, the account information is not correctly liked between the Xunlai house and game account or, most often, players mistakenly believe they earned reward points but when they let us know what their predictions were we find out that their predictions were not accurate enough to gain points.

Please check all of these things. If you go the the "Account" tab and it does not have one of your character names listed as your "account name" you cannot claim your prize. You need to speak with Tolkano [Tournament] and hit "register your account" to select one of your character names as your "account name." Also check your account name in the Xunlai Tournament House to make sure it matches your account in-game.

Finally, double check your predictions. I have gotten quite a few emails saying "there must be a bug, I didn't get my points" and after investigation, we find they did not earn any. When I write them back to tell them that, sometimes they actually say "Yeah I wasn't actually sure if I earned any points, but I thought this was the best way to find out." Please do not assume there is a bug by default. The most likely answer is your predictions were not accurate. The next most likely answer is that either your account is not registered, or your Xunlai and game accounts are out of synch. If, after checking all of these things, you are still sure there is a bug, please contact support and they will assist you. We don't want anyone to feel discouraged to participate just because they think they may have experienced a bug in the past. If there is a bug, get in touch and we will do everything we can to help you so you can take part in the Xunlai predictions moving forward.

First tourny I got points, second time I didn't. Did things exactly the same both times. Seriously, it's not worth going through support to make my case. Not that it's support's fault -- it's just a poorly conceived and debugged system.

Or he could give HIMSELF 250 Tourney points, trade for Z keys, sell those, and buy ~30 ecto? :P

Doesn't matter how hard I try, but I cannot change that to any of Character names. Only thing that i could add there is my email. "There were issues with the form you submitted. Please correct the fields marked in red."

question, in manage my account for Xunlai House, it has my GW's Account name as my email adress for my GW account.

Is that meant to be one of my charas name or my email?

I have the email address I use to log on to Guild Wars (the game client) filled in as my account name, yet I get my points every month.
