BS, People will just farm more money to buy Z keys from players instead. Besides, My votes are serious, I look at the different teams and try to decide which is better. Just beacuse of all my friends are in a laid back non pvp guild, and I dont wanna leave because all the pvp ones are full of rude metas, doesn't mean they should take my serious prediction rewards away.

I kinda got used to getting my (on average) 25 free Zaishen keys per month.

Orange Milk · Feb 27, 2008, 02:01 PM // 14:01

LMAO XTH rules, I got a whole 1 point this month that = 25 RP's yeah I'm bad at predicting it seems. Thanks for not entering Ekelon, lol. Though 7 of my GvG picks made the top 16, so i wasn't that bad.

25 Rps = 5 Z keys = 4 creme brulee and a lock pick = who cares

Some people are interested in GvG but not in "elite" GvG guilds, the watch obs they follow scores and ranks, why not let them gamble a bit.

Anyway, I can get 25 RPs easy a month just by entering 1 HB daily a day and failing so whats the difference.

You said it. Even if I were one of those that usually add that '/notsigned' stuff to their posts, it won't be neccesary here.

There's nothing to be against of.

A PvP player can get much more points AND use the Xunlai house. A player that do not enter the Tournaments can only get points in the Xunlai House.

Everyone wins.

/notsigned i think its good that guild wars can get lower ranked players involved with the top ranked players someway.

Thats very true. I would have never picked Clan Union even in my top 8 for Feb's GvG tourney. For every month that I've tried, I've picked dR, and they've failed me hard thus far. The best guild hardly ever wins the tournament. Seriously, wasn't like Storm Hogs in the championship in January? Who would have ever put them in? They're not even one of the top 30 best guilds, imo.

The House doesn't reward you because you're "good" at picking the teams, because there's really no way to win. I remember one month, some guild ended up losing the championship because they had an error while in the other teams base, and ended up losing the match because of that.

Maybe make an extra category of points? "Guess Points" which can be redeemed for a huge "?" emote.

Inversely, if it is removed, it would not discriminate against any kind of player. It would affect everybody equally, so in the long term it would fine to remoe it.

Nope, inversely, not everyone would get points. If people refuse or are not very good in PvP they can still get some points, enough to get a simple basic reward or 5 Zaishen keys.

I never used XTH, but now I'm going to give it a try

Z.Keys are a good income for me. And I like making predictions, even though I don't pvp myself. It's fun. I say keep it, Anet went through a lot of trouble creating it, and lots of people like it, so why should they ever even consider chucking it overboard?

Just because you suck at predicting the winners doesn't mean the rest should lose this chance.

and btw, you only get rewarded by this method once a month. You can AT and get many times the amount you get via XTH, so why bother QQing?

The XTH just gives them out for mostly people that just random guess who's gonna win the GvG/HB tourney. If they're going to give out points for that, they might as well give players that don't PvP free gold every once in a while. I think that would balance it out.

1)Not every one loves to AT
2) it gets people interested to some degree.
3) if your good enough then you should be making reward points anyway so the XTH would give you extra, and since your so good then you can make accurate predictions

it would be nice to get ±50 reward points every month
and that's the only time i get reward points

NamelessBeauty · Mar 27, 2008, 07:57 PM // 19:57

Urg, why do you get offend with XTH? They are part of the game that Anet add there! It does not affect much at all and I don't really see why it bothered you!

Seemed like a waste of time then, and I still feel that way...

/signed

but even then I suppose some people actually have fun doing this... too bad for them. No offense.

Spend 5 minutes (out of an entire month) to make free Z-keys? I get average 20 keys per month...i think it is somewhat worth that little bit of time.

I know alot of people who use this system for the free loot, and for no reason other than the free loot. Personally i think its a game and you should be made to go out and earn your money. PvP what this has something to do with pvp? not to the vast majority who participate in it it doesn't, its free loot and little more, oh and maybe a free title.

But obviously they won't get rid of it because people are buying multiple accounts so that they can get more free loot for doing nothing and ncsoft make money out of it. Clever money making scheme but absolutely nothing to do with playing the game.

And don't tell me it doesn't hurt me so why complain when i have to continuously sort through my thousands of builds everytime they decide to nerf a few skills so that i can't "earn" so much money so fast while they're giving it away and messing up the economy
