how about we all just accept that the fact the XTH will be down for maintenance, hope for our reward for May, as well as stop sucking up to Anet for doing their job?
Its down. Deal with it, there's no need to suck RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO over it either.

Oh well.. at least I wont have to rage early on Saturday morning after finding it impossible to log on and make my predictions! 
Yes, I'll miss my keys but Im not hurting for cash and theres nothing really that I need to buy.. There are plenty of other ways to earn keys anyway.
To the person who has a friedn v card earlier in the thread - newegg have a 10% off sale using code VGASALE with some reasonable cards capable of running GW for $30.

I've been checking newegg (and all other major retailers) for an EOTN sale for the last few months. Right now on newegg it's $12.99 which is pretty good in mid-year. Got one for my secondary (which right now isn't really worth what it should considering this topic)

No I don't, Pierson. In case you didn't notice this forum isn't run by Anet. There's no rules indicating that we have to worship them or that we can't speak our mind about how bad Anet is in our opinion. Your choosing to do the former is your choice, not mandatory.
The fact that I find it pathetic that people do such thing is also my opinion. Deal with it.
If Anet need to be worshipped in order for them to make any kind of progress to their own game. I'd say they should grow up. But I highly doubt they need such thing. It's you who choose to do the worshipping in hope of....something. What you hope to get out of it is beyond me, really.

What I want to get out of it, is at least a dialogue between us and the CR team so they can advocate our points of view to the higer ups at Anet and NCSoft.
True about this forum, but that also means Anet doesn't have to post at all. I don't see many Anet posts in the most hot and heated debates. They rather stay out of it.
Don't get me wrong, I've expressed a lot of negative but constructive feedback on these boards and I will continue to do so. So yeah the situation with XTH sucks, but there's not really anything we can do about it than just wait.

And we NEED to see Anet's posts?
Sure, it's good to see a respond. But, when they do it, they do it out of their own benefit. Answering to the community is part of their job. Poor/no interaction with the community will reflect badly ON THEM, not us.
We, as customers, shouldn't be at their mercy AT ALL. If anything, it should be the other way around. I'm sure they know this, too.

Well, I prefer them to post here so I don't have to find info on one of those wiki talk pages, but that's my opinion ofcourse.
Oh but I agree, we shouldn't be at their mercy, but I think we are. That doesn't mean we have to like it ofcourse. But what is the alternative? They have a monopoly in that segment of the market.
EDIT: When I said: 'What else can we do than sugarcoat them?' It was actually an expression of 'despair' as in /sigh.

anyone else find it funny that the major players saying stop qq'ing are the ones that are cashed up to the eyeballs from ripping off noobs and selling high under the guise of power traders ? of course the XTH threatens theyre epeen because people now have the ability to get a lot of money legitimately without having ripped anyone off or duping to get it. bottom line is we all agree anet is making money from the extra accounts sold to use on the XTH and traveller ( and anyone who thinks for one second that wasnt there plan is naive or plain stupid) so it is understandable when people get annoyed when this in game income is removed after spending rl money to get it. It is a feature that is there and buying more accounts to use it is not an exploit. its no different to new people getting the game and using it themselves. But anet has realised they are not getting new customers anymore so they fleece the existing ones. cause you can have a new hairdo at a cost these days its all about the money dont forget that. I dont mind the idea behind it its when you cant use it thats annoying. lets say you pay out 10 bucks of your hard earned for a new hairdo and a glitch stopped you from being able to use it and anet tried for a couple of months to fix it and then realised that they cant and need to recode it so they "remove it" from the game to fix it and you can have your new pixels (that you have already paid for) when they decide to reintroduce it but they wont say when! there is really no difference people are annoyed they all "hope" anet will do the right thing but they are unsure of how and when due to limited feedback and again they get more annoyed. so all you dupers and power traders pull your heads in we dont care if your epeen is at risk you didnt pay for it with your rl hard earned (or did you? ) people just want what they had coming free or not and are complaining that they dont have it yet and dont need others saying remove it cause my epeen isnt lookin so good anymore (we could care less!!!!)

3) Given change, the conclusion of the calculation in step 1 would have been different.
4) Player is mad, because player cannot undo transaction. Player feels like the developer has stolen from player by altering the deal.
Sure, you can argue that the risk of #2 goes into that calculation in #1, but it is CLEARLY Pareto-improving for the developer to reduce that risk to zero. All players are happier and the developer sells more games by doing so. (Very easy proof, let me know if you need me to set up the model.)
As a result, the player should logically infer that the risk of the change is zero, and should be upset when the developer irrationally makes a change that impedes selling games.
Don't get me wrong, I'm completely anti-XTH for a whole host of reasons. I think the whole situation is a shortsighted Faustian bargain for the developer. That said, once the developer creates an XTH-style system, there is no choice but to perpetuate it.
EDIT: 1337, the irony is that he doesn't realize that the power traders are the big winners. XTH and SF-driven inflation is fantastic if you already own the fixed-supply items people want to buy.

So if we apply the rule which prohibits PvE players obtaining PvP rewards without doing PvE, then it only makes sense to apply the same rule to PvP.
If you choose to not do PvE - you should not have access to PvE rewards.
Luckily we moved past that. And there is absolutely no reason, outside of hurt egos, to not do the same thing in PvP.
Regarding the rewards - a player who takes part in the mATs AND bets in the XTH will gain more rewards as a player that only bets. Unless of course one of them has a better knowledge of who has a better chance at winning. And in this case - the player should be rewarded for this knowledge.

1. You have no idea how "wealthy" anyone here is in-game.
2. Because the majority of the people who are QQing are those who are mad because they lost a source of in-game income. (Nothing wrong with being upset about the problem, but there are better ways of expressing one's displeasure than "RED ENGINE, A-net! Give me my stuff! Epic fail! Waaaahhh)
3. Reading walls of text just isn't my thing, especially when they start out with such an unfounded assumption.

What I don't get is how wait 7 days then wait one day, then wait a few days, to now... We don't know when.. maybe weeks maybe months...
It makes me think they don't have a clue. I mean really ANet's people stated that they were narrowing in on the problem a week ago and now what?
Although they have stated they will put back up the XTH, they have said things which turn out to be false. Well if they are going to perma take down XTH or down for more than a couple of months, I demand my money back for the accounts I purchased for XTH. I only purchased them for XTH. No gambling or risk taken on my part.. they said they would have this feature I bought it. It was like advertised buy more accounts you can get more keys. At Amazon.com you could buy up to three copies at 4.99 a piece. Now if they take out the XTH predictions, my extra accounts are useless.
I can understand the argument that its all part of the game and that game features can change and blah blah blah, IF it was one account and I have the rest of the game and its only one feature they take out, but I already had a couple of accounts from the very beginning the extra account adds no value to me without XTH reward pts.
To the people who didn't buy the extra accounts or don't like the fact that others have bought the accounts for extra Xkeys.. QQ at ANet not me. I, we did not design the game features. You gonna have people self motivated to bash the XTH cause they only have one account and hate the fact that someone else may have 5 and get 5 times as much every month, that is understandable but why hate the player? do you blame them for buying a copy for 4.99 at amazon.com? Blame ANet for inviting it to happen so they can sell more copies. And by the way... who do you think is paying ANet employees for making other updates and generally keeping ANet employees paid? People who bought extra accounts, name changes, makeovers ect ect.

You know.....with the lack of an actual fix-date on this issue, I have some weird feeling that XTH may not be coming back.
It seems like Regina has suggested that this could last longer than 1 month.....
Lol, if they lie to us that way, I'm going to both a) die laughing, & b) be absolutely pissed off. Tbh, this would be the smartest way to get rid of the XTH (and they have to be tired of fixing it). All they'd have to do is claim to be fixing it for a few months and then just not bring it back (with the GW2 excuse, understaffed excuse, or something else).
Conspiracy theories, start your engines!

While I'm very annoyed the XTH is down and we still haven't received points (and it's sounding like we may not get them next month either), I have to say something to the people who bought more accounts JUST for the XTH: How about while it's down you play the game? Fine, you want more keys every month, but to those of you saying your other accounts are now useless, you could play through the game and get money that way. Like missions, quests (especially the Kaineng ones), etc. add up pretty quickly. Just as a temporary issue. Play through the game like everyone else and don't spend real life money to get in-game money. That just doesn't make sense to me.

They did not promise that it would be fixed in a day, or a week, or whatever. They were saying "wait a day and hopefully we'll have an idea of what caused it and have it working properly." When it obviously turned out to be something that an overnight fix wouldn't cut it for, they changed the estimated time. And now, since it's apparently quite a large fix that's required, they're not giving an estimated time so that if it takes longer than they expect, people can't whine.
They've been giving estimates. Not hard deadlines. Do you know what 'estimate' means? It's an approximation. It's not a hard timeline and hardly anyone expects an estimate to be held to as though it actually were a specific timeline.
Anet does not set the price that amazon or newegg sell copies at, btw. And I certainly doubt that they tell them to sell for under their suggested retail price. Meaning? Those copies you bought on amazon for $5? Doubtful that Anet actually made any profit from that sale.
Seriously, though, since you have extra accounts - wouldn't you rather they take it down for a while to try and identify, hammer out, and fix as many of the bugs as they possible can, so it works properly in the future? Or would you rather it continue in its broken state? Or does it not matter so long as you get your z-keys?

One of those things are something that gw hope people do (buying more accounts) and the other gw will ban you for. So you think however you may, but sadness is your logic.
As for XTH, it's a bummer it's still down without a correction date, I would guess that the earliest it would go back into functionality would be after this months mAT so that they dont have to worry about everyone and their brother's uncle bumrushing it and destroying it.

Still, I ain't gonna ride them on it. Debugging is a bitch, especially when you have a bug like this, that doesn't manifest consistently (some players got all points, many got none, many got wrong amounts...). I can only imagine how bad it must be on the backend.
If I wasn't trying to hunt down just such a mandelbug in my own project today, my heart would bleed for them, and I hope they don't give up and scrap the whole thing. As it is, though, unfortunately, my stomach is doing all the bleeding for the rest of my organs. =\

2) Don't tell people how to spend their money. Anet knew when the put up XTH people would buy more accounts and is the main reason why we have it.

I do hope ANet will look into employing testers who don't necessarily live in the Bellevue area, I imagine there are only so many there who's available...

I think this is the best thing to do. Take it down. Fix it once and for all and only then put it back. I prefer to wait for couple of months for correct content than every time read those whining threads regarding missing points.
Anyway for those who bought accounts just for XTH. Is it anywhere mentioned on the box or instruction or wherever that XTH is standard part of the game you bought? I was checking mine and could not find anything...
The only point you bring is about having too high expectations. XTH issues appeared every (or every second) month. Many people did not get their points not only this time but many times in the past as well. Sometimes it was fixed sometimes was not. So why the hell you expected them to work this time?
Moreover if I understood your example you made your plans on the basis of a lottery, in which you assumed you will win? You could have got just 5rp per account. In which case making plans for winnings do not make much sense in my opinion. You could have got peanuts even if XTH worked properly... (not mentioning the cases that people got much less rp than they should)
