    after the several I have had tonight your sig makes me dizzy

    Thats not a sig, thats you.

    hmm

    Thats the typical "I'm better than you get over it" girl laugh right there. I can't believe i found it that fast. the hand in front of the face says it all.

    And no, not name calling, just messing around, I don't hate Aerowyn like most.

    most hate me? well that'a depressing

     

    Love is in the air. :)

    Ya, it was a good move having pre-purchasers as beta testers. You get honest help from people that have invested in it. 

    i'm sure it doesn't hurt that we sing their praises too. :P i know i've gotten at least one of my friends to prepurchase.

    got 8  friends to already pre-purchased and possibly another 4

    I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

    Borderline Personal Attacks Sir. You should probably backoff. Aerowyn has helped many here and many of us appreciate her. 

    If I put /sarcasm next to my post that she has clearly got would that fix anything? honestly, people these days...

    No, but it's hardly the subject of the discussion. Either way. :)

    Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

    See its not really just that the game is a brilliant design, it's also that those who argue against it really just have weak arguments. Anytime anyone (Aerowyn) destroys someone's argument with the truth and facts, they just can't handle it so the next logical step is to name call.

    for the amount of time I put into researching the game and helping spread the word I wish I was getting paid heh.

    Crap, Srorry, I didn't want to tell you this in person... It slipped. but GW2 fans still care about you... at least the ones who actually like the game it seems...

    hard to tell sometimes..

    Thats the "I bought the game but hate the community but bought it out of spite" people. Don;t let them fool you, they don't actually like the game.

    I get it and It made me lol. Humor is in low supply around here.

    Don't worry Aerowyn, the important ones don't hate you.  They recognize that you are just trying to get the true word out about a game that you love.  I get it. (even tho I'm not one of the important ones!) And so do the ones that count. As in, the ones who can handle the truth without resorting to namecalling even if they disagree.  :)

     

    Although, who in their right mind would disagree that GW2 is the epitome of awesome?????

    You want me to pay to play a game I already paid for???

    Be afraid.....The dragons are HERE!

At least I'm trying to help the communty gain information about this game.. 

    "She is the defender that GW2 deserves, not the one haters want to see. So they bash her. Because she can take it. Because she's not our spokesman. She's an avid forum poster, a provayer of facts, a GW2 fan."

    maybe I need a mask or something:P

    LOL...What was the other quote? "You either die the hero or live long enough to to see yourself become the become the villain"

    Sounds like you've become something of a target Aerowyn! I wouldn't worry about it. In a few days all this will seem a million miles away. Save your strength and energy becuase you are going to need it as we explore Tyria. These ongoing arguments are pointless. Its like Evolution vs Creationists neither side is going to convince the oher no matter how much eveidence, videos, reviews or blog posts you provide or cite.

    We can't even agree on semantics or the definition of words. If we can't agree what words like "raid" or "P2W" mean how can we even have a meaningful discussion. Better  to use your energies trying to inform and educate those who really have questions about the game as you have done with your video compilation. (not try and conviince those who either can't, won't or refuse to understand)

     By putting yourself out there you will only open yourself up to their venom, labels and ridicule.

    I suggest you spend the last few days like I am. Watching all the great fan produced videos, listening to the sound track, picking out names, playing with the calculators and planning what I'm going to do my first few hours in game. (and now playing in another stress test).

    While the board may be a liitle thin on GW2 threads for a week or so while we are all in game (to the person who wants to talk about other titles) the flood gates of all types of new GW2 threads is bout to open as people are going to be posting about their experiences, posting screenshots and videos, asking for assistance with builds etc. 

    As for a lot of us we will be posting on the official boards with bug reports and problem issues which we have been doing throughout all the bwe's and stress tests. Arenanet has been doing a great job of taking this info to make changes and improvements and fixes. I guess that's surprising to all the people who label us "fanbois" because we would never question Arenanet and blindly follow the perfect next thing to Jesus!!!!!!

    they probably looked at the pre-purchased/pre-order numbers and figure they don't need to waiste the money on it.. just a guess but might be why.

    I agree. A lot of their advertising has been word of mouth through the internet. amirite?!

    Why bother? It is better if people pick the game up during a longer period than 95% of all copies get sold during the first week like TOR.

    Word of the game will be spread by its players anyways.
