So the big question...

How much did Indie sellout for? :P

With 11 million dollars in funding behind them, curse can afford to pay him what Guru is worth.

There's a lot of hostility here, Kvinna has stated that most things won't change unless all the admins approve. Why not give them a chance?

All that it would take to get a majority vote is 2 people...and I'm sure they would have no problem getting anything passed

There are 2 Curse admins, DoranM and Kvinnia, all the rest of us, JR, Inde, Kattar, Chief, and myself are all Guru, and still represent the majority. That makes a total of 7 admins, not 10, and 2 does not = 4.

I say, give it a chance.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/member.php?u=211378 although seems like something similar to infraction notice thing...therefore quite possible not a real person

and...

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/member.php?u=211365

were also from curse...

and

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/member.php?u=13

was just a random guy

taken from the administrator section of:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/member.php?u=13

supposing the netcurse is a human... and kzap is a real admin....

4 of 10 (again infraction is excluded as its not a real person)

I'm going to be as blunt as possible in this post. If you don't like it, then I say "oh well".

I've always enjoyed Guru. It's simply a very pleasant place to post on (even with a decent amount of trolls, I still enjoy it). I most definitely hate the fact that it's going to a bunch of capitalists. I have heard very, very negative things about Curse in general

But... Having said that, I'll give this change the benefit of the doubt with one chance due to my long-lasting respect to Guru (keyword(s), to GURU, not Curse). If things change too much then I'm simply going to pz out, turn my back, mumble "fk you", and carry on with my life.

Oh, and btw, I agree with everything Bruce has said. I, too, noticed all the things that he mentioned. The Curse admins, specifically Kvinna, seem like a load of BS on how they bounced around their answers (and going off-topic with a few Guru members when, imo, this thread should stay highly on-topic due to the nature of its contents).

We'll see...

I'll give it a try and hope this change is good. As long as free speech reigns, I'll be a happy camper. If things get shady, I'll be riding atop that flying siege turtle waging war.

The way I see it:

GWG was successful because it made up for the lack of a better trading system in Guild Wars 1. Almost everything else was nonsense that I could easily do without, or was information that was easily found on the Wiki or GW.com.

Hopefully GW2 has a halfway decent trade feature that won't require the entire community to trade using some random off the wall forums.

Summary:
After GW2 release people will be PLAYING and not trolling a forum.
Selling will occur IN-GAME and not on a forum.
I can't see a BETTER time to sell GWG. Cheers!!! I'm happy for whoever benefited in the sale, as it probably won't be Curse...

May I offer you a tinfoil hat? Perhaps they should. Not pointing fingers.

netcurse is just a default Curse admin account, it does not represent any particular person.
