Theres a freaking note in the login screen in green that tells all information. People can say their part in it, either to flame it up or rant on how they can't attend, such as you just vented on them.

GEEZUS I have never seen so many people gripe about something that CAN BE FREE IF THEY WANTED IT TO BE! You don't HAVE to buy factions, you don't HAVE to participate in events, you don't HAVE to buy char slots once they come out, BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE, I swear some of you people need to live a while in poverty and experience what it is like to HAVE NOTHING! Do you guys whine to your mothers when they put food on your table, and tell them "mommy screw the food I want a CAR!"

/end anger

Mods go ahead and delete this post, or whatever you have to do, it had to be said and I said it.

I hopped on Guild Wars about 10 days ago and saw my storage full, my warrior full of armor and weapons, my monk full of armor and weapons, my storage full of materials, keys, and medium-high end items i dont want sell for 250 gold each.....the list goes on.

Honestly I would love to have a dragon helmet for my Warrior and my Ranger but I don't have space for another helmet with no armor quality to it. I like collecting the things they give us on these events and I like having them later as a symbol of my presence in this game....but devoting yet another slot of my (now somewhat precious) inventory to it is not going to happen. I'll give you an axample...my Warrior:

1 set of Gladiator Armor w/ minor runes (4 slots) - knights boots included
1 set of Gladiator Armor w/ superior runes (4 slots) - knights boots included
1 set of Sentinel Armor w/ farming&running rune set (4 slots)
Stonefist Gauntlets (1 slot)
2 Extra sets of boots w/ minor/superior runes for other weapons (4 slots)
1 of each attribute enhancing helmet (5 slots)
Gladiator Helmet (1 slot)
Pumpkin King Helmet (1 slot)
Antlers (1 slot)
Candy Canes (1 slot)
Mini-pet (1 slot)
Weapons (Yes, I use them all depending on what I'm doing) - 2 Hammers, 2 Swords, 3 Axes, 1 Flatbow (8 slots)
Shields (Again, I use them all) - 2 Tactics, 1 Strength (3 slots)
Keys (1 slot) - Assuming I only bring what I need and visit storage before every mission
ID Kit (1 slot)
Advanced Salvage Kit (1 slot)

Total = 41 slots! <---- and that's without and crafting materials which I keep in storage

I would even love to have more weapons and maybe even more shield skins.....there are other armor skins I like also. Basically, those of us who have been playing from the start and want our characters to be versatile and adaptable end up really cramped. Many of us don't need another event, we need a way to be able to participate in those events without sacrificing what we have built our characters up to be and without further bogging us down, yaknow?

We aren't trying to be whiny little bitches but I don't really think newer players can understand until they hit that point where they have multiple suits or armor, weapon sets, and materials. When I take my warrior out, I don't pick up anything thats not gold or keys. It's kind of a bummer and makes PvE much less fun....

(weren't they supposed to be available this month? or did I hear wrong? someone else told me that the official word was actually "soon".)

"Mommy, can I have an ice cream cone?" "Sure, dear."

*mommy comes back later with three bags of licorice, a pack of gum, a bag of cotton candy, and some peppermints*

"Here you go, sweety." "But... I just wanted some ice cream "

But, I mean, the kid is still going to help eat the candy ;p

SURE, no one is OBJECTING to getting this event. It's just a nice treat that we can choose to participate in from Anet. If you are objecting, I really don't know why.

When mom goes to the store they are out of ice cream, so she picks up what she went to the store to pick up.

The kid complains that Mom promised that she would bring home ice cream when there really wasn't any promise of ice cream. Besides I'm sure she'll get the ice cream when it is available.
