People Who Have No Clue About Tomorrow

I love how so many people don't have a clue what is happening tomorrow. From people asking why a rabbit has shown up to what exactly is a party animal to people asking why Gaile is so important... I just can't help but to find amusement to those who are too eager to bypass the login announcements.

I can understand some new people being confused, but sadly, more people who have played for over a year are more clueless than new players.

So let me ask: Do you bother reading the login announcements?

Well, yes.

Only to know what is going on. Those people without a clue may not have really been "into" the game and don't visit forums, so they don't know who Gaile is.


Pretty logical if you think about it.

/care @ gaile, but generally I do read them. Not the announcement itself, but the title, since I don't bypass the login screen.

It happens each and every time an event, or something event-like occurs. I'm sure its in the laws of physics somewhere.

I do read the announcements, but I also usually check wiki before I even log on---the usually have them up before I can get a chance to log in....(and links so that I can check out the information as well-----)

So what else is new. Hit with a double-whammy this time; it's not even like they decorated the towns a few days before like with Wintersday, so people are confused as heck.

<- still reads the login screens. God forbid I spend 3 seconds typing my password so I know what the next event is without having to go to the wiki.

If you don't read forums, how would you know who Galie is?

And agreed with Skyy High. Even when POPULAR holidays like Christmas or Halloween is celebrated, half the district is full of idiots spamming the same 6 questions OVER and OVER again (where do I get hatz? why does this town look different? Can somebody run be to the holiday quest guy? Can somebody give me x item for free? What time is the finale? When is that in (insert my timezone here because I'm too stupid to know what GMT means)?

Is anyone really that surprised?

I never knew about the -password "x" feature. Is it safe?

And I only read the announcements when it's something that catches my interest. So normally, I don't.

So what kind of stuff is dropping, and what are the town collectors asking for?

Thanks much (at work-cant play).

Yeah hes there in the middle of his "Circle of Death" telling everyone to collect fireworks and stuff to make the party awesome.

But anyway anyone that doesnt use the -password should see the bright yellow announcement. Though its not an event until someone says "Where du i get hat for my?".

I can understand the average player to not know who Gaile exactly is, but I find it hard to believe that people can not understand what's happening tomorrow.

So Gaile has the devs convinced that everyone in GW loves her so much they give gaile her own weekend.

I loved what she tried to do for us, but she really wasnt very good at it.

I am sure this is more of a "we appreciate you for everything you have done" party and not a "everyone in Guild Wars loves Gaile" party. If you read her explanation to the community as to why she is leaving the position of CRM then you would know that she has been in this position for 7 years and has done more much than what a normal CRM does.

Ish. The password is stored in plaintext in the shortcut properties. But if you're the only one who uses your pc, then yeah, it's "safe".

What amuses me is the dozens of people standing in the ring of animals letting of hundreds of fireworks etc. Wait 12 hours and get twice the reward...

Maybe it's not so much that people don't know. Maybe it's more that a lot of people don't care. I sure as heck don't care about this week's "event".

No, I use the -password option (no need to worry about keyloggers that way)

Never cared for the "events" anyway, too much lag

Even if you bypass the login you shuld know that you can get all the info in the home page.

Asking anyways and not even understanding when they explain you...

That's being clueless.

Yes, I read the login announcements. How else am I gonna know what event the people here will cry about this weekend?

The way I see it, yes there are some people who just want to play. But it still helps to do a little bit of reading on things like events (such as Wintersday, Halloween, this Farewell party, etc). That way you know what's going on and you know ahead of time whether or not you want to participate.
