That's up to Gaile, but I'm hoping for 'Yes, of course! Naked is the ONLY way to play Twister!'

Let's see if reality lives up to my fantasies

This thread cracks me up. I was asleep when it all happened, so I can't say I'm upset about any of it. Que sara, sara. It's just so unbelievably funny people can be when responding to such a boo-boo.

As has been said before, mistakes happen. I can understand being upset about losing time with things accomplished during said time. Or even having some great drops lost forever. OK, I'd be a little upset. But as Gaile said, "it was and is the right move to make".

The economy must be preserved or else a much larger percent of people over a much shorter period of time will be essentially crapped on. I just started playing a month ago, and I don't nor will I ever eBay, so I don't have a large amount of gold so far. But I can completely understand those who have played for almost a year and have acquired large amounts of Ectos, Shards, and other expensive items, only to have them become almost worthless.

It was a small mistake, that turned into a huge one, and it must be fixed. Take your time, A-Net, make it right. I want to earn my valuables like everyone else, not handed to me on a plate.

No.. in true Guild Wars fashion it should either be Rock Paper Scissors or rolling dice (outside of course in an instance of no more than 8 people) :-)

P.S. Regardless of my thoughts in the comments on various decisions, I think you are doing a helluva job Gaile dealing with everyone on the outside. We realize you are the messenger and not the internal decision maker. Therefore, don't think anyone faults you for anything, regardless of what is said or done here in the forums.. Thanks..

Words of wisdom and very well put. I agree wholeheartedly. While I feel for those souls that did play (and accomplish things) this afternoon. I think that a living breathing economy is one of the appealing aspects of the game. I would hate to see that destroyed for a few hours worth of play, so for the greater good, everyone is gonna have to sacrifice a little. What is a completed mission compared to a stable game anyway? I'd much rather have them fix things and miss out on a night playing, then have them rush and miss something and have to roll it back again.

Those people who were on that day got lucky and benefited from it, whereas those of us who were lucky today, get screwed. GG. And all of this BS about the economy, know what, none of the stuff should be as expensive as they have been. I mean seriously, even after the 55hp monks, monk runes didnt rise that much above 20k. Why is it that Sup Absorbtion and Vigor rose to frickin 90k? And when those lucky people back at the first price reset got all those ecto for cheap, anet didnt object, but when shards drop that low, and shards are easier to get, hence their lower price, they freak out. Again, GG, first all the nerfs, allowing others to get loads of ecto for cheap, making FoW armor ridiculously difficult to obtain, the recent griffon nerf, and now this. GF******G. Seriously, if you clear UW and FoW 20 times each, your good enough to have FoW armor. 20 times in each area as it is probably wouldnt get a person enough to buy a warrior fow, if your one of those people who get like no drops. Simply put, the whole rune and FoW material economy is f***** up. Seriously, for a game that is supposed to be about skill and not grind, it takes a lot of grind to get the nice looking stuff in game.

Hey Gaile, do you ever play your "Gaile Gray" character or just use her to bestow your wisdom? I noticed she's been level 7 for a looooong time
