i believe i deserve the money because i am in need of many new skills in order to make more money and further advance in the game of GuildWars. i would use most of the money to unlock skills and capture elite skills, as well as get new armor and upgrades. i would also help out my guildies and allies. this money would help me to help others and myself. i believe i would be able to further advance the playing experience of other players as well as my playing experience. thank you for your time!

You really don't need the money to get those, I've gotten plenty of skills, and regular armor that I've needed just from storyline money (for the most part), you should be fine, if you just continue, I didn't get max armor or many skills for a while.

As I sit here and read through all the posts of the great 150k giveaway, for the most part all are greedy lil bastards who only put forth them self's. I am sad to see a player leave the game , but respect the decision of his choice. I truly believe that one person will actually do something worthwhile with the money and I hope that you find that person. Thanks

Hookers and blow, tbh.

Actually, a friend's birthday is coming up soon and I'd like to get him Vabbian. I probably will anyway, jewels aren't that hard to farm, but it'd be helpful.

If the OP (Payne) allows it and doesn't mind, I'd like to contribute 50k of my own cash to a "runner up" (of the OP's choosing).
I like supporting contests that are nice like this!

Also, to everyone else being rude: keep the unnecessary comments/posts to yourself and try to remember that the OP is doing something good. No need to try and ruin it for anyone.

I've been playing GW since the beta! I have to work hard for every item I need/want and have very rarely recieved a giveaway. I rarely get good drops, and when I do they are usually given to guildies or new players that need them. I have never asked for a gold donation, and am always more then happy to donate when I can tell a person really needs it. In my storage and across all my characters, I don't think I've ever had for then 40k at one time.

I'm a solo PvE R/A.

I have never had more than 5k.

My armor is not prestige.


I cannot do anything solo very well.


I just want to have fun, but that's surprisingly hard when broke.

I'd really love the 150K to help me set up my own guild. I've been playing GW for the past 51 months and I lament the fact that I haven't been able to find a homely guild in over 2 years!

I'm not a dishonest, disloyal or inexperienced (pve) player and i'd really like the opportunity to build up a group of likeminded friends... because at the moment the guilds i join seem to rise/fall like mustard cress (through no fault of my own!!!) nobody really knows each other and the only 'guild activities' are always filled by the 'usual suspects', with the 'usual builds' and with very little attempt to integrate new members or try new things...

Well, let's see...first of all, I feel rather a lech having my third ever GWG post be an elaborate form of begging, but so be it.

So why do I feel I deserve large quantities of cash from a complete stranger? Largely because I've handed out large quantities in the past. I've owned Guild Wars for all of a month and a half now, and in that span of time have donated ~20-30k to guildmates, many of whom have immediately departed with chunks of my hard-earned money. While that figure may seem small to many veteran players, bear in mind that for a player who's never had more than about the price of one set of prestige armor to his name at any given time, donating 20k or thereabouts is a substantial amount, in particular for someone who is learning the game as he goes, without the aid of rich beneficiaries in the form of friends or alternate accounts.

Furthermore, to say that I've had 75k in the past is somewhat misleading...yes, I've had that figure, but only for long enough to purchase one set of Elite Imperial Armor for my primary character, an Assassin...and I'm still reeling from the blow that dealt my finances, 3 weeks later. A far commoner state of affairs is for me to have somewhere in the vicinity of 6-7k, so having a little extra would certainly come in handy.

Finally, because I don't deserve it. Yes, you read that right. I don't believe myself worthy of having 150k gratuitously bestowed upon me by divine providence (or something like that), and so, should my paltry little missive end up striking a chord, I pledge to IMMEDIATELY turn around and donate 125k of the 150k figure back to the community. Whether in smaller chunks or in a single blowout like this, I'm not sure--but save for a relatively small "finder's fee," the GWG community will be getting this money back all over again. Can't say fairer than that.

Finally finally, because it's pretty funny listening to my thank-you-ever-so-much song-and-dance routine that I go through whenever I'm given anything at all. Makes all the trouble worthwhile somehow.

Maybe give away the gold in packages, so more people will benefit. 25k per person is more than enough to get a character running.

Not sure if I deserve the money, but 150k would be a great TIP for my 1v1 Guild Tournament
There will be a prize for everyone who participates, so I will need a fair bit^_^
+ I tend to give away stuff to guildies and friends whenever they are in need =)
I post this for all my guilds "members" who will be happy if we win.

I want the 150K cuz my gold didn't even reach to 100K

I want to start building a good character with a good armor and stuff in order for me to farm so i can gain more golds.

In short, I need a capital to start.

..... and, if you may, since you want to quit the game, give me your GW account then
that's how desperate I am.

Thank you.

I think I am the one who needs it. Because I have alot of friends who just started playing Guild Wars and I am helping them alot of times, which makes it impossible for me to farm to get a nice amount of money to start power trading. If I get your money, i can get alot more money, which I can use to buy good stuff for my friends.

Im not sure if this is still running or I am being scammed, but I just started playing GW again after about a six month hiatus. I have over 2000 hours on my account and I am a dedicated player. I spent a lot of time vending out greens and other high end items, but only have a little success. In the end I ran out of inventory and need to get rid of them. I am in the process of trying to sell them to players for a lot less then they are worth because the people need better weapons. This doesn't leave time for me to quest and make money or make money selling. So I am asking for this money so I can continue to help lower level and new players get a little better in the game with better weapons. I am honest about this also, I will show all the stuff I got. My IGN is U Wanna Die and I will use this to fund my giveaways and also to fund a guild for my guild in a different game that wants to try GW so they will all be lower levels and new so I will be paying for everything. Please help.

I would just like 150k so i can give away more stuff; i tend to do that alot - for some reason it makes people like you and they become what most would call a "friend" so yeah, just make one big giveaway to me into many small giveaways to other people. The newbs in ascalon, spamadan and shing jea abosolutely love you for it.

I want the 150k because: In guildwars I am (almost ;d) ALWAYS unlucky, my account got hacked 2 years ago, 4 months ago I bought the game again and started playing. When I finally had my first 10k again, a good friend of me asked to lend me some gold. I gave him the 10k and he promised me to give it back. From the day I gave him 10k, I never heard anything of him. I'm losing my fate in GW always having bad luck, never can upgrade to get good.
And I'm not someone silly who will use the gold to buy Elite armos. THEY GOT THE SAME STATS, maybe they look nice but: SO WHAT? I will use them to buy max armors on every character get some nice builds on them (PVE and PVP) and than start ENJOYING the game. Since than I got nice characters with good builds good weapons good armors thanks to you (if you give me the 150k ^^). Also will spend it on my heroes to get them some green weapons, since atm they got some shitty stuff.. I'm 100% sure if I do all that together it will be 150k, so I think im going to start a guild, with friends which I can REALLY trust.
So IF you give me the 150k, you will make me ENJOYING the game, because I got my own guild with friends, good builds on all my characters, good armors, good weapons, all the things I want and that for only 150k... Some people only want to get 1mil K so they can have 1000 stack of ectos, and show it to people to be ''''cool''''' but im not that kind of person. I will use the gold for a GOOD reason. TO get fun in the game, and isn't that what everyone wants in a game?? PLS turn my luck by giving me the 150k, so far no luck has crossed my path on guildwars. PLS make GW fun again for me and give to me the 150k and I will use it for a GOOD reason, not for some crappy WAY too expensive obsidian armor (best armor I got is 1 half elite armor ... 2 parts ;d biggest waste of gold and my max gold i had was 33.789k XD will never forget that day ;d)

edit xD : forgot the point

I'm hardly the most deserving but...

I'd like to say I'm the most generous player on Guild Wars, giving out free cash and helping whenever asked but that wouldn't be truthful. Played over 3 years, done most of what I've wanted to do, and now spend most of my time trading. Of course while I'm trading I'm monitoring Local chat for Gold botters and players trading in local chat.

These things bug me to no end but not only that, they're against the EULA. So I /report botters and warn players to please trade in local. I usually only report local chat traders if they make it a point to continue spamming trades in local.

Besides reporting EULA violations I like to use my time wasted trading to help those in need of a quick PC and often pm players in seek of one.

So if I got the 150k~ I'd probably put it towards finishing a few more max titles so that I can finally get the one pet I don't have in my menagerie, the Rainbow Phoenix.

Thanks if you choose me, if not, Congrats to whoever receives it.

Hello! That's a very kind thing to do.

I suppose I will try my hand at this. I have been playing Guild Wars faithfully for over three and a half years. My fiance started playing shortly after. We have spent a lot of time enjoying the game, and we're getting ready to move into our first house together. We will probably be without internet for the first couple of months as we're settling in, and we will certainly miss playing during that time. The game and the time we've spent there together hold a lot of sentimental value for us. For that reason, if I were to be chosen to receive the 150k, I would use that gold to buy some art of our characters to preserve the memory of the game and all the sentimental memories while we are without internet. I can't think of many items that I would want to buy, but I do quite enjoy art and would love to have a pleasant reminder on my wall of the kindness of a particular Guild Wars character as well as the talent of a Guild Wars artist and the lovely memories of thousands of hours of play time. It would be a great reminder to relax and enjoy life.

Ahead of time, I would like to congratulate the lucky "chosen one" of this thread.

First and foremost - your contribution to the GW community is greatly appreciated. I feel it's important for you to know how I will allocate the 150k should you decide to bequeath it to me. Since I've h/h'ed 99% of my GWAMM title, I feel that I've gotten to know many of my heros (and available henchmen) pretty intimately, so the vast majority of the funds would be used to help with issue areas I've identified for some of them and the implications of those issues on my pve experience thus far. With no further ado, I would like to describe some of the more important applications of said funds - in priority order, of course!

1) Dunkoro gets a new rug - his baldness and lack of adequate hair inferiority complex has led to my one or more members of my party dying one too many times. I feel that a fair amount to dedicate toward either a hair transplant, spray-on hair, a wig/hairpiece would be approximately 10k;

2) Tahlkora gets a boob job - for similar reasons described above, I feel that if 10k or thereabouts were contributed to mitigate Tahlk's apparent boob-envy of Livia (which is why they are never in the same party! whooa, talk about a cat-fight!), maybe my party would fare much better in battle;

3) Norgu gets a name change and counseling/therapy - While it's no secret that Norgu is gay (not that there's anything wrong with that!), I feel that he should be forthcoming with his sexual orientation - you know, come out of the closet. Instead of playing mind games, being the mesmer that he is, I feel that a good bit of the cash should go toward some counseling and/or therapy to bring out the real Norgu so he can be who he wants to be and not have to pretend in front of Koss and General Morghan, two "real men" (although General Morghan has serious control issues - but we won't go there!). So 30k for that, as I hear the market for good therapists has about dried up because Shiro has killed most of the ones he's seen (talk about a Napolean Complex!);

4) Devona gets a new hammer - This woman is tirelessly devoted to knocking the competition down, literally. Where PUG members have failed on countless occasions to KD as crucial times with great reflexes, Devona has come through like a champ. That's right, she gets a new hammer of her choosing - up to the 10k limit I put on said choice. I'll choose a fine day to take her shopping in LA (not Melrose, silly!), and let her floss that q9 15^50 warhammer with the +30 and 20/20 mods, of course! (I know, I know you say, "But you can't equip a henchman with a different hammer!?", duh, and you can't put fake boobs on one either - but it's my story );

so where was I? 60k so far? I have approximately 90k left - hmm...

5) Random PUG'ger gets 50k - why? dunno, but circle comes 'round, and maybe they'll do something cool for somebody else some day </dream>. Or, MAYBE THEY WILL LEARN TO RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOING PLAY BETTER. Oh sorry, external monologue slipped;

6) I get a superior vigor rune - I've played 32 months never having applied a superior vigor rune to any one of my countless sets of armor I've gone through on across all of my toons. I figure it's high time I test the hypothesis of whether or not that +9 hp is going to keep me alive that split-second it takes to get a heal/prot thrown on me. Although I highly doubt it that it would, the idea of actuallly having a superior vigor on my FOW set tickles my fancy (and the remorse of selling all the ones I've ever had as a drop - out of desparation - compels me to do so), plus, I'm too cheap to otherwise buy one, and too impatient to otherwise wait for another drop of one. ~20k

7) Last but not least, Olias and Livia get upgraded hero armor - This ought to take the last 20k, maybe less, but meh - I'm rounding up. Since learning about Sabway and deciding soon thereafter to start chasing titles, the only heros I've used have been MoW, Livia and Olias. As a noob R/N minion master (with a pet, too :O), spending countless hours running around Elona, my bar filled with such key skills as Animate Flesh Golem, Energizing Wind, Whirling Defense, Resurrection Signet, Comfort Animal, and Charm Animal, etc., I really got to know and love the use of minions, but still did not realize their full potential when actually controlled by a real minion master like MoW (which I found out a bit later as I played my way through NF to Chantry of Secrets!). Point being, MoW got his upgraded armor early on as I used him a lot before I found out about Sabway. Back on topic, since finding out about Sabway when I had only two titles under my belt (LB/SS), I used those three heros through 99% of the 28 titles I've gotten since! Therefore, I would like to reward Livia and Olias with upgraded armor so I can display them proudly in my HoM!

So there you have it. A more than adequate explanation of my intended use for the 150k should you decide to be so kind as to give it to me. Apart from the sheer boredom that led me to compose this treatise, I really love a competition.

Gz in advance and a big woot! to whomever is so fortunate to partake in such a windfall. To be honest this guy should win...
Buuut if you don't pick him pick me it would certainly help me on my goal to max some titles
