Unless something has a direct bearing on me, I really couldn't give a flying red engine.

I glance at the anouncements to see if its a PvE weekend or PvP, so I know wheather or not I'll find any live people in towns, and what towns they might be in.
As for this event, even on GW.com they really don't give a good description of what will happen. I am assuming Gaile will attend at some point and people will just stand around using up the party items and maybe shout at each other for a bit then a conga line.

I think I'll play Dawn of War: Soulstorm, NWN2:MotB, and maybe reroll a Gw monk.
In short: screw this event.

tons of people have no clue who Gaile is. This event only really matters for a tiny part of the population that reads forums, game updates, etc and likes Gaile.
MMSDome
people not knowing why this event here is good enough proof why we shouldnt have monuments for gaile and andrew

Most people playing EQ2 didn't know who Grimwell or Blackguard were.
Came as no surprise. The average player doesn't visit the forums or ever bumps into a dev or community relations person.

Back on topic: Yep, I read the thingies. Helps me to plan on what I'll be doing - playing GW or doing something else.

I may have brain damage from banging my head against the wall!
Events need a timer that says xxminutes until 'event NPC's' arrival
I've spent the last hour trying to explain to the people in LA that:
A) The Frog comes every three hours starting at noon PST
B) PST is GMT-7
C) UK is not on GMT but on GMT+1
I thought i'd got through to them that the first arrival is at 7pm GMT, 8pm UK(BST)
Then someone says so first arrival is at 8pm GMT or 7pm BST
This is where I started headbutting the wall
Every festival is the same and, while I find it comforting that I can add and subtract while most of the other people there can't, I can't help feeling it puts a drain on events when you have the constant "HOW LONG TILL FROG (or NPC name) COMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

No, I don't read the messages. I read forums, wiki's and chat with alliance buddies.

Personally, Jon Sharp and Andy McLeod are my 2 favorite devs. But, don't hate on Gaile, she was a great CR. She had too much on her plate. This change will be good for ANET and us.

I read the log in announcements to see what the weekend event is or if there's something new happening, if I don't see anything new on the announcement I move on to select my character.
On a side note, I'm amazed at how many people in my guild didn't even know who Gaile Gray was until recently.

I have no clue about this weekend. But I also have no clue why the hell should I care about this weekend. Just another mind-your-own-business weekend. What's the big deal?

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? |
Halloween was fun.
I see this as a good money making opp, selling all the party drops to eager buyers. netted me 4k already, wasn't even trying to farm or anything.

It was an odd time for an event...having it at 7pm gmt in the evening, it threw a good few off.

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? |
Greet them with hostility in towns for not reading and maybe they'll start reading instead of being embarrassed for looking like the lasiasses they are.

I usually read the login announcments

I can understand some players not knowing who Gaile is. However, with each event there is a ridiculous amount of people who don't seem to have a clue what's going on. Personally, I tend to ignore the log in screen, because I have an RSS feed that gives me all of the GW.com updates on my home page, but I'll still sometimes look at it when there's something new up.
I've not logged in today yet, but I can't wait for all the "WHEN DOES EVENT START?!" and "when we get hat?!"

Lol, Storm, since the first day you were on this forum, I knew it - you'll be creating new thread every 2-3 days. Get a life, lul.
And I never read announcements. Maybe because of -password, but I haven't logged into GW since.. 2 weeks?

I check out the announcements on login, but it's just a blurb about a party for Gaile. I went on to check GW.com, but I'm sure a lot of people just logged right in and proceeded to demand answers. :P

Can't read them. I have my Shortcut set up with "-password" cmd. If they were in the Character Selection screen, then yes, I would read them.

Being clueless is good. Especially when you're me.

Yep. I remember sitting in LA at xmas for 15mins and hearing "WERE CAN I GET HAT?!1!?!?" 4 or so times.
Not reading login announcement is ultimate fail.

I'm depressed on how many people keep asking who Gaile Gray is, or even The Frog.

No one said you had to post in my threads. But it seems the mystic power of +1 really does exist.
Either way, I've gained no complaints except from the few people who just have to throw in some last word.
Since the event has already started, this thread can officially be closed. Unless people want to make comments about people complaining about how much time is left before the next Frog Visit. But that could easily be made into a new thread...
JeniM
I thought it was typical that after the first visit from The Frog everyone just stared yelling "WHERES MY FREE STUFF!!!" "THIS EVENT SUCKS NO FREE STUFF"
I mentioned it's not supposed to be about free stuff it's about celebrating Gaile's service as PR and I got three types of answer :
Who's Gaile?
Whats a pr?
**** *** ** ** *** ***** **** *** *** *** *** ** ***!!!!
(the third one has been censored)
I got the 3rd most commonly

Seriously, if my company hosts an event each time someone is moved to a new position, we won't ever get to do any work.

I only read them if it's something I'm interested in. but frankly, i learn about anything that comes up in those things here first...
