I have noticed that alot of people hate Gwen, my question is why? If you comlete her quest you get experince and a happy little healer. Though at the end of the quest you get an item with no use sure but she is pretty cool in my opinon.
For those who don't know the quest or how to complete it.
1. First off talk to here and get here flute which is broken and located at the pond with the skales you had to kill to get your first skills.
2. Talk to her and go to the nearest merchent and buy a flute for 4gp and give it to here.
3. Buy a cape from the merchent for 200gp not that bad. and Give here two Red Iris Flowers. Then she will give you a Shreded Tapitry which I have found no use for.
Why do you all hate Gwen?

I still say Gwen is the Root of all Evil be it the Destruction of Ascalon, Orr or even the dark forces in Cantha I blame her. The reason was the beat down she put on everyone durring a chpter 1 bwe where she single handedly destroyed even the invincible in one fail swoop.
Bad Apache
She is a spy for the Charr, pointing out weaknesses and flaws in Ascalons defences. It's also romoured she opened the North Gate for the Charr to breach us.
Seriously though,
I don't know anybody who hates Gwen, and I am sure nobody who has passed 'Pre sear' does hate her, so what makes you ask?

Really? Alotof people in-game said they hated her with passion, getting them stuck in invisisable walls.(the walls that keep oyu from going of cliffs or stop you in certain areas.) and just fallowin you.

Nobody hates her, but she is a popular person to theorize about
Pillz_veritas
Because she killed us all at the end of the beta event :P
Criminally Sane
She stole the flowers I'd planned on giving someone else. I tried to keep them, but then she looked at me with those eyes, THOSE EYES, THOSE HORRIBLE EYES... scarred for life.

At the end of the guild wars beta event, she spawned in town and killed everyone with fire attacks.

I dont think there is anyone who really does hate gwen, but i know that people hate it if someone starts to talk about gwen. Its like talking about the wheater, you can do it all the time and in the end you dont change nothing but to get the other person bothered.
All we know about gwen:
At the end of the preview weekend she spawned into towns and killed everybody using spontaneous combustion (deals -545 every second). (In that even she mentioned several things. She was mad because her parents got killed durning the searing and she says that you didnt save ascalon. Shes sad because everyone she loves dies and thats why she goes mad and burns towns down. Then she tops everything by saying "painful to live in fear, isnt it?")
We dont know her age but its sayd to be from 10-12. Her mother is sarah, a herbalist in ashord village. Her father was a warrior and he died when she was 7. She likes playing the flute and she likes flowers. She loves weddings. She is undecided if she wants to get to be a warrior or a mesmer. She likes devonas hair. She thinks bill the bull is mean. She wants to meet prince rurik. She likes apple pie. She likes adventures. She doesnt like bugs.
When you go into the underworld you will find gwens mother sarah, who has died in the searing. She is worried and asks other ghosts if they saw gwen.
If she likes you enough she will give you a tapestry shred. After the searing you can find gwens broken flute and a tattered girls cape. Those items are all quest items so there must be a quest or just a use for them wich hasnt been found out.
So far thats everything we know.
(cool info: one day someone posted on a forum that he had discovered the gwen quest. he gave a perfect explanation of the difficult process and sayd that it was rewarding to do it because gwen would open up a special area where you could farm 1000k worth of stuff in an hour. he explained that since its so difficult to ge there noone had discovered it yet. well, it turned out that it was the first of april and so it was a very very good april fools since 95% of the community believed it and i think a couple hundred people even tried to get the gwen quest.)
By the way: its total tabu to talk about gwen in any city, town or outpost. if you ask around people will not give long answers or will just try to avoid the conversation.

Rurik: For Ascalon! (Does nothing but wave his sword around)
Gwen: La la la... do you have any flowers?
Repeat infinitely.
Ecksor
i used to like rurik... until i got better and learned more. now he just makes me think of some newbie in ascalon thinking of a 13-19 FDS as godlike. and yes a rurik vs gwen battle would be very entertaining... gwen would have a special shout, it would be "Flower Power!"- once 5 red iris flowers are obtained, Gwn combines them, then throws the 1 uber flower in the air. The flower then explodes, annhilating everyone and everything in a 2 foot radius.<---- thats uber godlike right there lol Rurik's special skill could be a shout too. the shout would be "For Ascalon!" - When you activate this skill, you do -999999 damage, and attack 100% faster. energy 0 recharge 0

Actually, no. But please no one post about that again. The joke is dead.

I'm upset Anet didnt include Gwen in cantha. May they can make here appear in Africa. and have her say that she's on vacation "lalala can you bring me some Cactus juice".

My guild leader thought up a good reason to hate Gwen. She destroyed Ascalon that's why.

At the end of one of the beta events (God those were fun), Gwen basically appeared everywhere and killed everyone with tons of fire. All beta events don't just end in everyone disconnecting. Everyone is killed in some way, shape, or form. I remember one time tons of giant worms appeared from the ground and ate everyone. One time everyone shrunk to microscopic size and everyone randomly said "ArenaNet Rules!" or something of the sort. One time there was some huge fireworks thing that I can't remember. GW really knew how to work their beta. =)

Because she has a duplication technique where she spawns in every outpost/city/town and then she continues to continuously spam Fire Storm until everyone is dead.

i hate gwen because when i loook out my window at night i see her

I'm bothered by the fact that there are no children in Ascalon except for Gwen.
What this implies about the Ascalonian reproductive cycle is terrifying. Gwen is the protocharacter; the ur-PC. Every player character must have been grown in vats, using cells harvested from Gwen and genetically modified. The evil race conducting this experiment is unknown. Some speculate that it's the Mursaat, harvesting Ascalonians for food and idle sport. I personally think it's the moa birds. (Think about it. They have got to be smarter than they look.)
In any case, the procedure -- which has now been performed millions of times -- is always painful to Gwen, and has obviously left her insane. She has the mind of a child, certainly, but a child subjected to endless agonies. Is it any wonder she breaks her flute and discards it, then yearns for it once more? It reminds her of the syringe. The tattered cape she gives you is not meaningless. It is the shroud on which she dried her tears, and when she destroys us in fire once again, it will show us the image of her face.
Gwen is not to be hated. Gwen is to be loved, for she is the Mother Of Us All. But she is more to be feared, for she is a vengeful god. When her dark masters let slip her flowery yoke once more, and she becomes aware of the horrors they have wrought from her, she will not merely destroy Tyria. She will arise and conquer--
(Oh. Wait. These are Chapter 4 spoilers? I should shut up then.)

Damn, this Gwen quest reminds me of Publius Enigma (If you have studied a little Floyd, you should know it)
And Gwen is....ugly..and just a little kid. But I dont hate her, she's funny and better than presearing newbs, so I'd better have Gwen with me in pre.

As has been mentioned, Rurik is the one to be hated! I just don't like Gwen because in the beginning I had problems with her following me, then when I told her to stop she kept following me for a hort while but long enough for me to get annoyed.
Sir Skullcrasher
Reason why i hate Gwen!!!
1) she a stalker
2) she nukes things
3) she has broken flute along with that red cape
4) she won't stop telling me dumb stories
5) cuz i hate her!!
