It'd be nice if we got them the day after hero battles, rather than having to wait a good 3 weeks. Don't you think?
I mean, it's all automated... Not like they have to do it by hand.
Less waiting for Reward Points

Do they not have to set it up for it to give it out - hence why it occured with an update and not just the designated day of the month *first thursday* - or am I wrong?
Empress Amarox
I thought it was the 2nd Thursday?
Anyways, either way... My original point still stands. Does it need to be x weeks after and not x days?

It is "suppose" to be first thursdays, but builds are pushed back to second thursdays usually - along with the reward points. hence the "designated" part.
I personally don't mind but I can see why some people would be.
Would be liked but not needed - of course I can say that for everything I guess.

Why does it matter on wich day you get them?
You won't get more if you get them the day after....
And you still have to wait 1 month for the next ones...

And this reward system is awesome, don't question it on the off-chance that they remove it, and then we will all be forced to come with torches and burn down your house with you inside.

It isn't pointless... T.T
It would be much neater to get a reward for who you voted for a day after it happened rather than half way into the next monthly. I dunno, maybe that's just me? I don't even remember who I'd voted for the previous month by the time the rewards come in though. At least if it was sooner, the actual results would be fresher in our heads (as if it's hard to remember rawr got #1 and hb was completely random).
Anyways, I just think it'd be better for continuity if they were closer together.
It isn't a big change, I doubt it'd be hard. Wouldn't really affect much either.

Well, think of this: there are thousands of accounts. Everyone did different predictions. So the server must calculate RPs for each of them.
It really adds up. You want it to be done faster = more servers or more powerful server required. Frankly, I'd rather wait a little bit more and have GW lag less (haha).
And I suppose there's a reason they do it with build update. Pushing builds without actually dedicating staff to check so there's no game crashing is kind of bad. It's just more efficient or, well, cheaper to run it with normal build update they're currently doing.

I don't remember who I've voted for the day after I submitted them. It's roughly the same guilds that are always in the top 10, and to be honest, I don't care much about which one has won. I'm just here for the easy cash.
So I'd say Anet probably has a good reason that we don't now about to not give out the RP's the day after the battles. Could be the time needed for calculating, like Dmitri3 voiced.
Either way, I'm not signing this because I really don't care about what day of the month I'll get to sell my ZKeys, as long as it's once a month.

You get points once a month. Does it matter what day you get them, and what day the MAT ends? Nope, you will still only get them one time each month. If there was a reason for wanting them SOON after the MAT ended, and one that made sense, I'd consider it. But nothing has any effect on how many points you get, or how much money you get for selling your z-keys.
Calista Blackblood
When you're being given free stuff (which can equal 100's of plat) the first thing you shouldn't do is ask for it when you want it.
Abusing the privilege of the XTH is really only going to result in it being removed.Then the people that /sign will be right back here or wiki suggesting XTH be brought back.Anet will laugh at you..

Pointless thread is pointless.
"I remember back in the day when we had to actually work for our fake monies, you whippersnappers have it far too easy these days, what with your zkeys and PvE skills."
But yea, if you need money now, go farm. Don't expect a-net to hand you your armbraces on a silver plate, even though they've come so close to it.

I don't care when I receive my points. But I do wonder when they are going to release the points this month. It used to be on the first or second Thursday of each month, when the update got released. Since they have said now that they will update the game every 3-4 months, I wonder when the points go out.
Div
Does it matter? You're getting it about every 30 days anyway regardless.

@Op If it would stop the stream of "when will I get my points?" threads, I would probably sign. But sadly, it won't and the next idea to pop into Sardelac would be "why can't they hold the MATs earlier?"
Pointless is pointless.

The guild wars community needs to learn patience (ie, look at all the "OMGZ WHERE IS GW2!!! threads).

Consider learning to wait a week a valuable life lesson.

I cited some of the possible reasons why there's a wait time, but you're trying just trying to sound... never mind, consider figuring out what you just did and it will be a valuable life lesson to you.

No it wouldn't be any nicer.
And it does require a bit of manual handling due to the technical complexity of the thing.
So stop assuming about how easy/automated it is and try to (no, don't try, just do it) be patient. It's not like you're loosing anything.

I just think that ANet should give us our reward points early on months where a festival is happening.. That way i can trade all my ZKEYS for coupons for 9 rings..

Kay, so honestly... no one got the point? No one..? That's sad.
What's more sad though is how many trolls this forum has now, good god... Can't that shit stay on QQ forums? Come on now...
It's just a suggestion, you people honestly need to calm down. I thought it would be nicer to have the rewards come shortly after the mAT, rather than in the middle of the next month. What's wrong with that?
I mean, some of you are just so out there... and paranoid... Like someone saying they're going to remove XTH rewards 'cause I posted this. Yeah, that's gonna happen. /sarcasm
People really need to start "thinking before they speak" -- remember hearing that growing up? Still applicable.
It has nothing to do with impatience. If it was a day after the mAT finishes, then it would still be 30 days apart every month, it would just be directly after the mAT rather than in the middle of the next season. That, to me, sounds better. I don't know what you guys are on about with impatience. Did I just post this at a bad time when everyone had their panties in a wad or what? Would it've been better were I to have posted it the day after we get our Zkeys, what? Honestly, this is reminiscent of the "gtfo go play wow noob" responses.
Learn to actually post like a human. >.>

The point is, you have no point. Whether the rewards are done IMMEDIATELY upon completion of the MAT or 3 weeks after, you only get the rewards once a month. When during that month doesn't matter unless there is a specific correlation with game play, but there isn't. Changing when the rewards are awarded won't do anything but provide work for the Anet staff. Work they probably can't afford to be doing without a major reason.

Lets say the Superbowl is February 1st this year (it is).
Now lets say you placed a bet on who would win. Lets also say maybe you just want to celebrate.
Would this make sense?
1. Your team you picked to win wins; however, they randomly decide to wait until January next year to give you your winnings. It is after all only once a year anyways! "Don't complain, there's no purpose. You're just impatient!"
2. The team you wanted to win wins. You are just about to celebrate, then you're told you need to wait for an obscure date next in the middle of the next season before you can celebrate.
That was rhetorical, but if nobody "gets" it after that, then I give up.

Reward points are not distributed with the live build. Reward point distribution comes several minutes after the build goes live. This is how it works. First, the build goes live. After the build is live, the database is checked to see whether your account is listed and how many reward points you get. Once the list is checked and it finds your account there, the number of reward points you receive are determined, and points are distributed. . . snip . . . |

I propose they distribute reward points for a given month on the minute when the mAT of the following month finishes, this way impatient people like you will be happy.
BTW most people are clam, and not trolling, you're the one more and more looking like a troll with a ridiculous idea.

Being so, nothing suggested can be ridiculous, since everybody has his or her own meaning of "ridiculous". So it would be better if everybody avoided direct attack to the suggestion itself (I'm not stating you attacked the poster, but stating that his idea is ridiculous is not being respectful).
About the idea itself, It would have been better yes, but it's obviously not possible. At least, we can get some prizes for free.
