Default Indicate starting time of events in local time zone

Please indicate the starting times in the local time zone instead of pacific time. It gives me headache every time when I try to figure out what time the mentioned time is in my local time. Especially now in the summer with the daylight saving times.

Also in my European alliance I often hear peaople asking if a particular event has already started or not.

It should be fairly easy for the guild wars program to read the local time zone from the Windows settings and then calculate the right time.

I thought they told you GMT conversions when announcing events? It surely can't be that hard to subtract/add...

And how about daylight saving time? I'm not even sure in which time zone I'm now with daylight saving time. Normally GMT+1 byt maybe it's not GMT+0 for me.

Just let the computer do the job of adding/subtracting, since these are very good at it.

If your a really young player, then it might actually be difficult to work out times. You have to keep in mind that a wide variety of people play the game.

You might even be playing in the UK and not be english and be trying to read the game in english. I dont know whether times is wrote different elsewhere, but I cant imagine it would be easy to work out then.
