you get a helluvalotta complaints from this forum. well i just want to say thanks for the tremendous effort put in to the wintersday, halloween, canthan new year, etc events. there aren't many other games where we can get the special quests, rewards and extra enjoyment that you give us during these events. honestly, i've done just about everything there is to do in this game but i always log in whenever i can for wintersday and halloween, in particular.

so again, THANKS!!!!

i should have added the Dev Team in the title. if one of you riverside mods could add it i'd appreciate it.

They could have done so much more but I don't blame them - they don't have the man-power to contribute anything useful to GW1 anymore.

In other words, I'm indifferent but still thankful.

Whiners are typically the ppl that care most about this game, so, whine away ppl, whine away to your heart's content... like there will be no tomorrow.
(some do whine just for the sake of it, but what the heck)
Oh and thanks for EVERYTHING!

Thanks for the no monthly fees. Oh, and thanks for not nerfing Shadow Form so quickly, allowing some of the farmers to make a lot of money other then just the power traders.

That's all I got.

While I do have my fair share of criticism, I guess it's time for a bit of reflection.

Things with GW1 could've been worse.

So yeah... I guess in a way, thanks. And happy holidays.

Despite all the sarcasm, complaints and nitpicking! you know we all love you ArenaNet. ArenaNet - everyone who works there from the boss to the person who comes in to clean the office, thank you and have a wonderful Happy Holiday.

If we do not nitpick and complain you wouldn't know where to improve right!

Thank you to all at anet. Every single employee does their part of a game that I truly enjoy and love. I cant wait until I get the chance to thank as many people as possible in person when I get the chance.

Its not just about the game itself. Its also about the people we meet. Its truly a wonderful thing to be able to get know to different people from accross the world as well "for free."

Keep doing what you are doing. I'm always up for supporting GW everyonce in awhile with some costumes or paying a little here for whatever.

Love you all, Might pop in for a tour come spring time.

I dont like people who doesnt appreciate what Regina, Linsey and many other who works on GW1 updates.

I like it so far and still gonna enjoy when SF is gonna get the nerfbat and many other builds. The videos of GW2 is awesome as well cant wait to get my hands on it once its been released lol.

But thank you ANet. I enjoy my costumes I hope it will come more in the future

So many of us are extremely happy!

Thanks for all the hard work and putting up with us!!! In addition I also showed my appreciation by "donating" some greenbacks to get the costumes times 2. Outstanding job with the security update

Have a wonderful Christmas and New Years!

For all the guys that have this thing figured out and could do it better. How long before you drop your video games to show ANET how it's done right? From what I've read around. There isn't a MMO that doesn't have its problems.

I bitch, I moan, but still know that I've gotten my money's worth out of this game. So it's a wash.

I don't know why people rush in on a thread like this and kill the spirit of it with negativity. There will never be a perfect game. Like everyone else here, I have my share of complaints about Guild Wars, but ultimately I've played GW happily for many years, and will continue to do so.

Anet - Thanks.

Wow. The "that's dumb" argument is so much more valid.

Originally, I had this long drawn out response but I figured I'd give you the TL;DR version. To which you'll probably respond TL;DR. Whatever.

You, me, and more than likely 99% of the Guru populace are nothing more than unqualified armchair QB's when it comes to making games. And no matter how right you may be or think you may be. Ultimately, it's just your opinion. And since ANET isn't paying either of us (Correct me if I am mistaken.), your opinion means just about as much as mine. Squat.

And if the above was TL;DR - Nah Nah Nah Nah Boo Boo Poopie Head.

Happy Wintersday To All the ANET staff. I may disagree with what you do at times, but you still have provided me with nearly 4 years of fantasy fun. I'm gonna play this thing til the wheels fall off. Or until I get motivated to try something else, lol.

Yeah, I'm not going to add any flowery garbage to my post. With the resources given, you've (Dev team+pals) done a much better job than I expected compared to other games that have fallen apart (WAR) this past year.

For what it's worth, being said from some anonymous nerd, thanks for keeping the game alive.

Oh look. typical "that's just, like, your opinion man". I sure hope you had something better in your long response which you decided to not post, because this is just pathetic.

No, but I paid them. My opinions matter as much as yours but it's you who's using one of the dumbest arguments in the world "HURRR DURR DONT LIKE CAKE YOU JUST BOUGH, MAKE IT YOURSELF"

The Anet staff hasn't done a horrible job maintaining Guild Wars but it seems like they've done a bit of a half-bit effort between GW and GW2. It would be nice if they made more of a commitment towards either game.
