This thread is just for fun, no flaming please.

My "worst reason": So that I can get a cool Ritualist Box rather than a silly Assassin one!

The CD soundtrack, even though about half of Jeremy Soule's stuff puts me to sleep. I'm getting it for the other half that doesn't.

And besides, I find the anorexic Assassins terribly uncool looking.

So you can put your stickers around your room, have your significant other see them and be like ...

"What're these??"
"They're stickers of Guild Wars Characters'
"Why do you have them up?"
"Because I think they're more attractive than you"
"... *dumps*"

What a simple way to break up with someone

Disagree - Pressed CD's last better then CD-R's (dye dry's out) but then again, assume the will pull thr trick of DirectSong adding bonus tracks not found in the CE version... Like with chatpter 1.

Oh on thin note, see the new female "fighters" for Tomb Kings you can tag along...

My worst reason would also be the mouse pad. Boy, oh boy does my infrared mouse need a mouse pad!

Worst Reason to Buy CE?

cos I need it and I cant play Factions without it.

It costs more than the standard version but CE it’s a more complete game. (I have to keep lying to myself all the time if I can convince myself I can convince anyone.)

And a actual use for the stickers to boot! Nice...

Because I bought the first CE.

Real reason: I want the back up dancers and have enjoyed the Divine Aura too much, I can't imagine how much fun I'll have with back up dancers.

Because the CE box takes up twice as much space as the SE and I've been trying to figure out what the hell I was going to do with all this shelf space...

And because I never get sick of people asking me how I make my fingers glow. Not in the least. Never. Get. Sick.

OK, maybe a little sick.

The backup dancers will provide a distraction so I don't have to answer the glowy-fingers question anymore.

Because I thought it was the Pre-Order package :P

Sorta... but when I realised that it's not the pre-order package and that Arenanet have forsaken Australia, I bought it because I can afford $10 more for sweet backup dancers!

I think that's the best reason: a massive line dance with backups. Yeah!

If you look here
http://shop.game.net/ViewProduct.asp...144&mid=326605
you could get the impression that the assassin is only going to appear on the pre-order box, and that the ritualist appears on both the standard and CE addition boxes.

I think Europe gets the Ritualist cover and the US gets the Assasin one.

Reasons NOT to buy CE:

1) Save the $20 difference toward the purchase of another great game in the future.

2)You can use the $20 to buy a great mousepad that pwns the one included with CE. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817114301

3)Ritualist box will meet the garbage bin sooner or later, even if you tell yourself it wont.

4) Backup Dancers and the extra emotes are just as useless as the glowing aura for the Prophecies CE.
(If people asking "what's that aura?" or "why do you have dancers behind you?" make your day every time, you need to concider getting a life. And I dont mean it in a mean way.)
No glowing auras or backup dancers will help you win in HoH or GvG.

Sorry if I sound like an asshat, but I just had to give my two cents. I feel like I have to let people know that sometimes there are better uses for their hard earned money.

Damn, way to piss on my parade.

You just don't get "fanatics."

1. There's no reason to save $20, no game is better than Guild Wars. (What, Chapter 3 is coming out later? Oh, well, Christmas...)

2. I don't want a "great mousepad", I want a crappy mousepad with "Guild Wars" printed on it. In fact, I don't think I'll even use it, I think I'll frame it and hang it above my computer.

3. I still have my original Guild Wars CE box... oh, did I just admit that?!?

4. I won't be winning HoH anytime soon, but I sure look cool dancing nekkid.

exactly...'their' hard earned money!

I bought it for the extra emotes and the backup dancers.. and I only pre ordered just so I could have the crappy pre order items I might yet find a use for..

Seconded. I love the 10+ whispers that people send me each day: "how do you get glowing hands?"

Oh yeah, I still have my original CE box too, along with the crappy headset which I somehow have managed not to blow out yet!
