Hey, I'm Hugo The Horrible from the BRA guild. Thank you for this post that you made about us, it is very nice! I'm glad to see that some people enjoyed the fun and festivities that our guild attempted to bring to the table.

Basically BRA is a guild based mostly around PvE, so we are constantly doing missions together, and killing many monsters. Due to the large amount of PVE'ing, we acquire unecessarily large amounts of extra items. The items that are better than the average item yet not substancial enough for us to want to keep and use we decide to stock up on, and then give away to people. Rather than selling them to the merchant for 20 gold or whatever, and we do this for a number of reasons.

1. Most importantly, it lightens up the community. We were all participants in the Guild Wars beta, and the community that the game had back then was amazing. Everyone enjoyed playing the game so much, there we practically no scammers, and everyone had a great time. We want to do this to show people that getting that extra 10 plat tonight reall doesn't matter. It's just a game, and you can play it as such casually and still get where you want to be.

2. It improves the economy. Even if it is ever-so-slightly, it will help people see that items really don't have to cost so much. I see shields that were obtained at the collectors go on sale for 15,000 gold and up. It really shouldn't be that way. By us giving away chaos axes, dyes, shadow shields, etc... it shows people that ok maybe these things aren't worth that much.

3. It gets our name out there as a friendly guild. Our guild is a very fun guild, and I am really happy that I belong to it. We always try to mix things up and have a blast doing whatever we're doing, and I'd like it for other people to know that too. Ultimately I want people to recognize our guild tag, and give us a /wave or say something to us in outposts or towns. This really just goes back to the first point, which is recreating that caring community that existed in the betas. I carried an entire conversation with a stranger today using nothing but emotes, and had a blast doing so. Made a friend as well :-) Stuff like that makes my game-time much more fun.

These giveaways aren't on a constant schedule or anything. Basically whenever we feel that our inventories are too full, we arrange to have a giveaway in a couple of days. I personally haven't given enough stuff away, so I think we will be having one again. Possibly next weekend, but I'm not 100% positive. If we do decide to do it though, it will always occur in Lion's Arch, district 1.... and we will advertise it in the fansite forums.

I would also like to let people know that these events are made to have fun. Getting free items is obviously why people come, but I believe that having fun is why they stay. I had so many people message me the other day about how much fun they had, and how it felt like summer camp and everything. That made my week. So please bring a positive attitude to these events and we can all have a great time.

Anyways. thank you for the post Mhenlo, and I look forward to seeing you again in our next event!
