I would strongly suggest you all be flexible in the "reservations". There's a good chance that "reservations" are being made elsewhere

I was a sponsor in one of numerous districts for LaZy and moved several times to accomodate other guilds, that even after appearing in the district long after I'd been camping and annoucing there, seemed to feel a strong emotional attachment to the particular district

Keep it flexible. If it's like last year there will be more than enough districts for all the sponsors.

As far as "this district is only to be used by such and such" - good luck with that... rather absurd IMO.

Good advice. There's a very low percentage of GW players that even bother with GWGuru, so there may be some district changing required. As long as everyone understands that sponsoring guilds are doing it for the sake of the community as a whole, there shouldn't be any problems.

Not one person here has said they were reserving a district for a private party. Either people honestly mis-understood what is meant by "reserving" a district or trolls have purposefully fueled that fire.

Happy Canthan New Year everyone! Hope to see lots of Celestial Tigers out there (or in my stash! - hehe)

I really expect one or more of the fools who just can't seem to grasp the sponsor concept to show up in a sponsored town, dare the guild who "reserved" it to kick them out, and then strut around quite proud of themselves when they are "allowed" to stay.

I'm assuming that that part of that post was meant as sarcasm. If that's not the case, then yeah, there's going to be some sad pandas!

Wow, this is a great idea, this will be my first in factions. I look forward too, I totailty understand whats going on, why people dont get it, is beyond me, LOL.

So people don't have to alot of the work, but rather have help from another guild. Pretty cool idea if you ask me.

@Snorph - and for unsponsored districts, people help each other out. Although we still get the greedy ones who want gold for ingredients.

To me it will be interesting to see how many districts there actually are compared to previous years.... even though the player base is lower, will some "oldies" pop out to go afk for a weekend??

So is the public // community better off going into sponsered districts to have guilds help them? I would think so.

I'm not sure I follow all this talk of reserving districts.. You guys just mean you're "reserving" it to sponser, right? And not that only people from your guild are allowed in? Because that would be the most absolute retarded thing I've ever heard. Then again, I actually hope that is what's meant, just so I can go on to one of these districts and sync dance with some friends in the middle.

I got 2 Tigers out of my first 41 fortunes:

I went back to town and said WTS Celestial Tiger 100k thinking I'd get laughed out of town but someone whispered me right away and bought it.

These can't really be worth that much can they?

Supply+demand - economics

.

i wouldn't value it very high as everyone has a chance to get them. They can just do the quests and get tokens to trade them in for the lunar fortunes. It depends on how badly one wishes to obtain this mini, but i wouldnt go as far as spending 100k for something which i can get easily?

Got one after only 5 fortunes on my first character... Surprising with my luck...

Got none on my second character... I suppose I'll just use the rest to get Red Bags...

And thus, I'm sure it'll just so turn out that this'll be another "Trade 5 Celestial Tigers for an X" later on type of situation... :-(

I guess it {WAS} worth that much to someone.

I watched people all day spamming WTS tiger 100k +10ectos and whatnot for them and figured there will be some sad pandas in a day or two if they actually pay that much.
Got bored afking the rings so did the quests on couple guys and got a tiger on the 10th one I opened then no more out of the next 90

lol

I've seen them going as low as 35k already tonight so I would guess 10-15k by Sunday.

I managed to get my Tiger within the last 5 fortunes, after saving up hundreds of tokens last year. I've been waiting for a tiger since the Canthan New Year events started, would have been very disappointed if I didn't get one.

Still, wouldn't have minded another to sell.
