Seems to me that everybody is missing something that seems a little obvious to me. Why would A-Net even think of having a Wintersday event in July? For the benefit of the people in the southern hemisphere? No too likely... Because they ran out of ideas? I'm not cynical, so I don't subscribe to this either...
They plan on giving us a BIG, wonderful gift! And I'm not talking about the Wintersday drops, or the snowball fights... I'm referring to something much larger. Something on the scale of improved trading (Xunlai?), or something else equally massive, that would be received as a clearly positive event by everyone that plays the game. Now I have no idea what this BIG thing is, but I have already placed/bet my money on "the next big thing..."
So right now I could see A-Net employees sitting in their offices, smirking about the fact that nobody has a clue that when it's announced, this thread will immediately change from a haven for whiners to "OMG, they gave us XXX! A-net is the best!"
But that's just my guess...

The human race is going to be extinct next weekend, and all of our characters will be deleted. Cats (not charr) will takeover the world (both IRL and in GW)
Raptor farming here I go. I am actually going to play! Insanity! This is madness!!! *cue Sparta comment*

Okay, so I'm away this weekend and I can't play GW, so let's spin the wheel and see which event I'm missing...
**turn turn**
Wintersday in July? Woo hoo!
And btw, this isn't a bad/unoriginal idea but it has no meaning to me.

Or they could be making you think theres a BIG update coming in the Wintersday Event you guys seem to think is happening (Snowball Arena and Drops do not make it THE event) so that when the realisation comes around that they were just adding the Snowball Arena in for a fun weekend they could have a ROFL LMAO moment.
Just a guess.
Don Doggy
Love the wintersdayevent so this is great news. But its July lol do Anet even bother anymore?

it seems some of you should be getting coal in your x-mas in July stockings.
p.s. maybe it's just the HoM update

Can't we all just express our opinion about the update rather than flame other countries/people/ages/ignorance/CORN?
Personally, I'd much rather prefer to see PvE weekend events like this than "Double GvG Faction Weekend." Faction from the snowball fights, consumable items to keep my party out of eternal death penalty, and it's something added this weekend.
How bad could it really be?
ShadowbaneX
I've had Black Day in July stuck in my head all week thanks to this event...
Friday
Ohhh how about it's just a random FUN weekend - you know, a change from all the "double X" weekends most people whine about. Some FUN in the Snowball Arena and some FUN extra drops.
Oh, and how about just having FUN and enjoying the game for a change.
Thats what I intend to do. FUN. In a cool event intended for FUN.
Ps. How in hell did this go from "Wintersday in July" to flames about which hemisphere we live in and the relative IQ. The mind truly boggles.

Obaby. Fun!
Shame I'll be at my dads on the weekend, but hey! I get to play Metroid Prime III: Corruption on the Wii!

Sure, the event doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it sounds like fun. Apparently, this event doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell of avoiding forum flames, however.

It is absurd.
And is the idea really all that bad? Look elsewhere. Winter in July has been happing all around.
Friday, I think we could all use you as a good example. We should be playing Guild Wars to have fun, not to bash the next guy, not to farm ectos, not to artificially enlarge your epeen, not for any other reason.
Isn't play supposed to result in fun?

If you see any snow on the ground now, it's from the arenas where they play ice hockey.
So, no skieing/skiing (don't know how it's spelled lol -.-')
Btw I live in northern Sweden
great sir s
Ooo a Swedish Disturbed fan who plays GW very nice :-P

Hah, my first thought about this was "Noël des Campeurs! 
" (Campers' Christmas), our version of Christmas in July. It's a neato idea... dunno if I'll participate much though O_o.

Well it fits in with my world...
Had to scrape the ice off my cars windowscreen this morning....Mind you I've had to do that every day for the past month or so
I don't mind the freezing cold but I wish the snow would come with it.

This is surely a sign of global cooling within Guild Wars. I hope you are all ashamed.

so someone pointed to the wikipedia site on winters day on July and I saw that there is icecream on that. Get's me to thinking that they might add some icecream with some special effect.
If A-net can see or read this some how, PLEASE give a drop a SPEED BUFF. PLEASE. I am not talking about in town either. I am talking about running speed in the explorable areas of the game...like PRESEARING because there are NO skills that have a speed buff in pre. Since I am on a mission to collect 40 stacks of hunter's ale and it takes 2 minutes just to get to the hunter's this would be very helpful. I like helpful drops.

I want it to snow in the towns too!! Will make me feel a little cooler in AZ where its been 115 lately

Not going to read all 11 pages, so I guess it is confirmed no mini polar bear. I would start a campaign to save the poor raptors but I have other plans for them.
I remember when I was stationed in 29 Palms CA, showed up in July. Girlfriend called to ask how it was, I told her to turn the oven on 400 degree and stick her head in it, pretty much describes this place. I can only imagine AZ would be similar.

If they are gonna remake an event they had better used the "Day Of The Tengu" event, that happened only once 
Anyway we have something to do this weekend.

This will be interesting. But, they should have triple point weekends or something. :P

I might have to log in and play for the event. But if there are no new event hats or special Items I'll skip it. The event games are very boring now.
