Arrived in a newsletter today:

http://www.guildwars.com/sweepstakes/

Some nice prizes for a market-research type survey. I'm sure some of this feedback will be useful for GW2.

lol @ "I like to grief other players" choice for your GW Playstyle.

Yea. It took me a couple tries too. The survey is very picky and forces you to answer (or decline) every question, even though some can lead to mutually exclusive situations:

15. I'm currently playing Guild Wars? YES!

19. If you have not played Guild Wars in the past 3 months... Uhh.. I just told you I'm playing D:

These questions will be highlighted in Red if they have been left blank. Just go back and fill them (decline or use "Other: Not Applicable").

Maybe they'll fix the logic or give an extra option, or clarify what they expect.

Wow those decline question buttons sure are annoying. How about a simple check box for a "None of the above" instead?

I wish they would have wrote a script to automatically decline those questions depending on previous responses but meh. There's an (X) on the side of the question that you can click to decline it.

Well, thanks for the info! Time to enter but it sucks if you live somewhere that won't allow you to enter and/or prohibits you from winning.

Yeah. Because public advertised contests - online and IRL - are obligatory passed through a government-owned commission, known as "Régie des alcools, des courses et des jeux" (Alcohol, races and games "commission"). If it hasn't gone by this commission, it's technically illegal in Quebec territory; processes to make it legal are long and costly. Therefore, a lot of companies like ANet don't want to pay the fees or don't see as "worth it", thus why Quebec residents can't apply.

And it sucks. /groan.

19. If you have not played Guild Wars in the last 3 months, what are the primary reasons? Select all that apply. Decline to answer this question
I've been playing other video games.
I've been too busy to play games.
I feel I have played through all the Guild Wars content.
Guild Wars requires too much grinding.
I do not like the PVP system in Guild Wars.
Other(s) (I put Ursan blessing) :P

I have just been informed that I have won, and no one else need apply. I have been given the title Alpha Omega and will be shipped one of each prize.
My name now appears in gold letters in game and I have a raptor mount.
My own instance has been created "OMFG U PWN" you can find it connecting any and all locations.Glint has become one of my heroes. They granted me a unique skill that instantly deletes any character I face in pvp and I absorb their total xp.

It seems so. I mean, we own European versions of GW, you'd think we'd come under the Euro sweepstakes...but no, we come under nothing. Gah.

I know about the other country regulation about contest etc, but if someone seriously wanted to give you something or a chance at something they try harder.

I agree! So what it costs money to do that in Quebec and Australia? With 5 million sold units, they can´t afford that?

That's because shipping to Australia takes 3 days, 5 nights, 3 lightyears, 1 lunchbreak and 1 apocalypse, since it's so far from everyone!

Did you see the question what do you like to do in GW or something like that? It has grief other players as an option lolol. Took me 2 tries btw.

And the reason they don't want to spend the money to do this in Quebec is because Xander is there and well that's reason enough.

Aussies miss out again on this type of thing but maybe they will give us a code in a mag for a mini like the Asura.
