New Event: Dragon Festival!

That's obviously the idea. Since it is only available to Factions characters and will last exceptionally long.

LOL...my goodness that is a distinct similarity.

Great. Every new event is a sales drive according to this theory. Really, there are a lot more effective ways to drive up sales. Either your theory is wrong or the marketing guys at ArenaNet are retards. One of the two.

Seriously...
I doubt this is a marketing scheme of any kind. It's just more of a summer gift...
Considering they're dragons instead of tengu, it will also renew some interest

wow tengu, I got in trouble, this one, I am at my grand parents X.X I am so screwed, IU am trying to get my guild to farm me up a mask I juist hope they don't come out customized that would rock.

You can rest assured any item such as a dragon mask will come customized to the character that gets it.

wow do peaople ALWAYS have to whine about EVERYTHING? Seriously dudes if you don't like how anet works stop playing it sure as heck will free up server space.

*sniff* dang it all I hate parents X.X Well there's always next year/event HALOWEEN HERE I COME!

Or, if you REALLY REALLY trust a guildie you can give them your account info and politely ask them to get the items for you.

Of course, that kind of action should be approached with caution so extreme that it makes a Puritan look spontaneous (no, I don't expect everyone to get that joke).

OOO I get that joke LOL I actually payed attention in history class ima wierd kid, and yah if I can reach them, considering I never see them on the forums(which is the only communication I have with them becuase all my grandparents have is dial-up, netscape FTL)

/truth

Down with more updates because surely they wont be even between prophices and factions! No more new items because there is not enough storage! No more in game events because it's just a marketing ploy nothing more! Please A.Net do not add anything new because if you do I have a problem with it!

QFT^2

Wow, this should be pretty cool.
What really blows my mind though is that ANet actually announced the event before the fact.
I have missed every holiday event hat so far because the events were not advertised. It used to really piss me off that I missed out just because I have other responsibilities and can't play every day.

Now that I know it's going to happen, before it happens, I can adjust my schedule.
Thank-you ANet.

heeeey natuxatu(pokemon umm gold&silver right?) and doomlord you guys are the first to ever respond or even agree with my crusade to defend anet! *massive thumbs up* I like to see more people like you guys. We all need to fight back against these whiners naysayers and all-around idiots! FOR ANET GW FTW!!!

I was worried we wouldn't see one of these for a while since there weren't any major hollidays coming up. Woot!! A-net ftw!

I think your problem there is that naysayers are always going to be more vocal than the... um... yeasayers (okay, I just made that up) are because they have a view that they want to forward in an attempt to yield change in favor of their view. The yeasayers are perfectly fine with how things are, so they don't feel similar urges.

To conclude: politics suck.

Maybe, just maybe, that's what this holiday is celebrating? That they actually got it done?

If that's the case, then I want a parade of Xunlai agents with a giant "storage chest" float. And what the hell, some theme music wouldn't hurt.

Update: Turns out I don't leave until the 6th! Woot!

...I want a mask and I want more storage space...neither of which I am likely to get... I'll ask my friend to farm me a mask. I just hope that these Jade Wind essence globes aren't as hard to get as the candy canes for those of us who didn't have the time to rot and farm imps for hours on end.
