Snowball Automated Tournaments were so much fun and almost all of my guildies enjoyed in that great competition last year! I would be very appreciate if ANet give us access to ATs in coming holiday event.

Not everyone played Snowball ATs for zkeys, some people played it for FUN. Free zkeys you said? If you have skills maybe - reaching top8 is not that easy, even in Snowball. And leeching/non-skilled guilds gained 0 or max 2zkey.

I had mediocre guild during that At and managed to reach TOP 8 many times with ease. The number of free zkeys was so ridicolus, that XTH is nothing compared to this. If they change rp points to 0, and add skillz title track rewards, i will /sign

Snowball AT's are the only reason I still play Guild Wars.

I really enjoyed playing snowball ATs. It became more enjoyable than gvg ATs. But I would be lying if I said I didn't play it for the RPs.

Unlike the XTH you actually have to do some thing though.

/signed regardless of whether the reward is keys or gamer points. I had hoped that there would be escalating gamer point rewards by placement originally.

Side note: The XTH absolutely DWARFS the free keys from snowball ATs by several orders of magnitude. Back of the envelope calculation is 32,000 keys generated per day by snowball ATs. (4 groups per day, about 8000 keys generated per group.)

XTH is millions of keys per month. Those of you crying about Snowball ATs are complaining that it's raining while a tidal wave swamps your boat.

No seriously, though, if ANets to pull off an event, at least make it complete.

From what I heard it was fun (and admittedly tons of rps). I want a chance to get my guild in it too >_>.

I think i only played snowballs the very first time it was active, and even now 'yellow snow' makes me chuckle ... perhaps rewards need to be scaled down if ppl are that worried, i am a player who would be more interested in the fun ... and seeing it is summer and temperatures are high, a lil snow to cool down might be just what we need

Wintersday is about having fun and getting free zkeys is fun, or at least nice.

/signed because snowball is awesome. Please remove the dwayna vs grenth skills, though. Unnecessary imbalance.
