Not mine, I'm not a giant nerd who is eagerly anticipating vaporware to become real.

Yeah, I did a /doubletake when I glanced at it, because I thought it said Guild Wars 2 Beta scans.

Our phantom CM posted about this on the boards not too long ago.

Anyways, I think it's pretty sad when the only GW2 news we get in forever is really a warning against scams.

It would be the first time any information was disclosed in the game, prior to it being discussed to death @ Guru or the wiki.

I'm too brave, nothing startles me.

I noticed it, but didn't really care because I expect the first thing we will hear about GW2 soon will be, "Production is well underway!".

Actually, the problem is more likely reading too fast - speedreaders tend to do so by reading whole lines at a glance, often by picking up key words and joining the dots, rather than right-to-left (and studies have shown that this is actually a natural way of reading - most people do so at the word level, but this is why misspellings and typoes can be missed so easily). So it's possible for someone to glance and register "GW2 beta" before reading it fully and registering "scams".

haha nice one sir. I'd give you an cookie but I don't know where you live...and I don't have a cookie myself.

I really wanted to say "^this" but I vaguely remember doing that is worth a ban now.

I never really expect GW2 now....just playing alone in GW untill I find something better to play, so it was like "GW2 info? really, oh nvm just a warning, don't care anyways" for me.

Enough people were falling for the scams and losing their accounts to scammers to warrant a warning on the login screen. A lot of people don't read the account security tips at the login screen, so we thought putting "GW2" in the title would make people pay attention and read.

Well clearly it did.

Just as maybe a lucky shot, any new info on GW2 apart from that?

When I saw that message, at first I thought "OMG!"

But then I thought, "Dang it! They just filled their 4 month quota for GW 2 info"
