Hi Luke,

I want to start with saying I think what you are doing is fantastic.

Since the start of guildwars, I have played a warrior as my main class. I still remember being attracted the fact I could take 0 dmg for the first half of the game if I was well prepared/geared. By the time I had gotten a bit higher level, I would hear things about soloing mobs (like griffins outside AR in the desert), but it would seem whenever I started learning the farm within days there would be a patch. I managed to make a small amount of coin for the basics of armor and weapons.

At the time, I was more focused on the social aspect of GW, as it was one of my first mmo's I had played. I gave what little money I could scrounge up to the guild so we could have "nice" things in our hall and to have some fun activities. When I first heard about GW2, I made one thing very clear to myself, I wanted to get obsidian armor as my final big accomplishment in GW. I wanted to leave achieving something "nice" for myself. Now I am not asking for the full 100+ ecto etc etc. I have managed to pave the way myself through my years of playing slowly, but have realized while I am almost there, I do not have the time to be able to make it.

After graduating from college last year and starting working full time in an industry where spending upwards of 60+ hours a week(m-f) is normal, it is quite obvious my time for gw is lacking, but I still wish to have this one last goal in my mind. What I would like to ask for is the remaining 24 ecto I need since I have about 80 myself in savings.

I truly admire you for being able to give like you are. It is refreshing to see there are still players who just want to help for the sake of helping.

Hiya,

Im a returning player (played the first 2-3 years, and picked it up agian a few months ago).
Re-enjoying GW after my accound got used by goldsellers :S so im almost totaly stript.
The reason for returning is ofcource GW2 and Nightfall. Never playd nightfall but i wanted to buy because why not enjoying reaching 30/50 with some new contend.

I would really love some help in the form of ectos because i would like to upgrad my Heroes and buy me some armour. Returning after so long i found out i lack the knowedge of making right decisions because so much is changed in the game.

Would love some new armour and mods for hero weapons.
Everything would be welcome!

Hey there,

I recently started to play GW again after a 1 1/2 year. Now my goal is 50/50 in HoM (currently 39/50), which is a little pricey although I know how to farm and do some sc etc. but I don't have time for it due to school (which obviously is more important than gw but w/e). This is why I would appreciate any kind of donation.

Hey luke, first i want to say is you're the best for giving people money when they need it, but anyway i have been working on my HoM so far and im a noobie when it comes to HoM points and i need atleast 20e for a destroyer weapon to go in my HoM (i dont have one yet)

Hi, I am doing a huge give-away, but I am coming up short on zkeys. My first prize is r3 zkeys. I have 55+ ish keys. I was wondering if you could help me out at all getting just a little closer. Its not for me, its for a giveaway.

I have a guru page about it to prove I'm not just making it up:

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/m...tml?t=10506604

I understand that 150 zkeys to get the 200 I need is way too much to ask for, but Anything you are willing to donate would be unbalivabley helpful. I have basiclly farmed all 50 zkeys so far and its taking longer than I was expecting. The party doesnt have a Date yet, but I want it to be before GW2 comes out.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Hi Luke, i'm your father ... mkay, that's not fun ^^'

Hello, my name is Kevin, what a hard name to wear while playing MMO ! , i've been playing GW since january 2006, and i never reach more than few ectos ^^'
First, i want to congrats you for this topic, god bless you !
Second, my goal is to reach at least 30/50, this is my IGN : Placid Mad (actually this is my wife's account) , i have 22/50, i really need money/ectos to reach R3 Zaishen, and buy some minis and armors.

I haven't much time to play : My son Kieran just got his first birthday on 15th may, and my daughter Gwen will have her 4th birthday on 26 may, a gift from you will be so cool (i can prove it, wsp me and i'll send you a picture of my family record book

)

So, that's why im asking you between 30 and 50e. (or more ^^)

Thank you very much for reading.

EDIT : sorry for my english, i'm french ^^

Hello Luke.

First of all, I would like to thank you for what you are doing. Arena Net sould create a title Donor of Hope, for people like you who has the wish to help others.

My name is Jordan. I hope I won't make mistakes, because I'm French and I only speak your language at school

I have played at Guild Wars since 2005, but I stopped to play many times because of other games like Counter Strike or League of Legends. After a 1 year break, I have the will to do my best to fill my HoM. A week ago I had 21 point, I have now 27

It's hardier and hardier to up it, and I have now no money...

That's why I'm asking you some help!

My Nickname is Eze La Putride. As you can see, I have 0/8 in Valor, and 2/8 in Resilence. I Would like to buy an Opressor Weapon and a Tormented Weapon. I need to buy around 12 mini pets too. With that, I will earn 5 points

That's why, if possible, I'd like to have 40 ectos. If you think It's too much, I will take what you'll give, even 1 ecto.

Even if you don't accept to give me anything, thank you for what you are doing.
I hope it was not difficult to read, I'm a Froggie

Hello Qwertyfied.
I was on the list but i notice i got removed. This is probably due to me not being available, of which im sorry. I'm making my finals and haven't had much time to log onto GW.

Indigo Phallstar · May 25, 2012, 10:20 AM // 10:20

Dear Robin Hood,

Thanks for this redistribution of wealth, its great to see such displays of in game altruism.

I have played GW for some 6 years now but as real life pressures take over i am finding it harder and harder to dedicate the necessary time to earning the achievements i want.

In order to progress with my HoM i need to acquire 6 more year 5 minis, sweet tooth, party animal and drunkard titles as well as gain Obsidian Armour and a few weapons. With that said i now find myself at point where grind is absolutely necessary. All my recent in game time has been taken up with farming and it seems then that farming is what the future of GW1 holds for me. This is absolutely not what i play the game for

In this way then, any help at all that you could provide would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance

Hey Luke, thought I'd take a chance at getting some financial help. I started playing GW at release and have been an on and off player for the full 7 years. With GW2 quickly on its way, I find myself pressed for time and cash. I am desperately trying to finish up my Honor monument, but the Zaishen, Sweet Tooth, and Drunkard titles have left me with little hope of reaching 50/50.
To finish I would probably need all that you have left and more, but I know there are other people that need help and that you're here to help us not do everything. So I'm asking for 50e, which will go to the 3 titles listed above, to help me finish off my HoM.

Thank you,
Aycee (Warmaster Aycee)

claver · May 26, 2012, 06:48 PM // 18:48

I have no interest in money what so ever, i have already reach my goal in hom and are satisfied with that, ive farmed and traded for all the weapons i need and armors for my main, what i lacked, and once of upon a time had, which i regret selling so much is an exact replika of the shield you are offering out, dont know why i really sold it all these years ago, but i would do anyting to get one back for my little collection of oldschool weapons, and dont worry, would even think about selling it, if i could customize it i would to it instantly

For me the reason for asking you to donate some of your ecto's to me are simple: to increase my enjoyment of the game.

After farming the required amount of ectos for my obsidian armour my enjoyment of the game is at an all time low since I know that now I will have to start farming about 70 obsidian shards (which would cost me about 30e (hopefully)).

I loved doing the missions in the game with my friends, doing the vanquishes, getting luxon rep in jade quarry and skill hunting. But this solo and very repetative farming is not my thing at all.

Since my nickname is Brave Sir Robin in my guild I could really use the extra armour to bolster my courage to fight.. emm maybe.. a rabbit

Thanks for taking the time to read this and being so extremely generous. Even if you decide not to donate me anything know that Brave Sir Robin will always have your back (from a distance)

You can contact me on my assasin (Alania Shadowwalker)

Hello everybody,

There is about 150e remaining for me to give away - so most of it is gone at this stage, but still a sizeable amount! I'm going to review the past 2 pages or so of responses, which I largely haven't had time to deal with recently, but don't worry the thread is still very much alive.

Ireland is in the midst of the best spell of weather in, probably, some years - hence I'm outside like the rest of the country enjoying it and when I'm indoors I'm writing. Do keep responding and whatnot, just realise it'll be another day or two before I have a couple of hours to sift through the responses and go online and attempt to give it away.

Once again thank you for all the responses here and also in game. I'm happy to chat to anyone when I'm online (usually, unless I'm wrecked or in the midst of chatting to someone else - those of you that have met with me in game will realise that I can't fathom simultaneous conversations). This will probably be my final message on here before the thread ends in about a week. The last decision I make will be on the shield, I'm not sure if I have anything else of value left on my characters - I'm tempted to salvage my obsidian armour in hopes of some ectos out of that which I could then donate. I'll see. Whether or not I then uninstall guild wars for good is an open question, as is whether I buy gw2.

I'll probably compose a long post to end this with whenever this ends, be prepared for that mess of a philosophical ramble.

Yours,

Luke

Enjoy the weather, please do! It is insanely hot in my region in Belgium as well and I'm stuck inside because I need to study for my exams! Have VAT exam on thuesay (yes, value add tax :/) So please get some sun for me too

Btw, I've edited my post a few days ago, cause it seemed like I was a bit to brief, so I wrote some more to give you a bigger insight

Grtz,

Hello Luke;

I've been playing since vanilla, and I've been obsessed with kuunavangs ever since i bought factions. I got one already from the collectors edition, all i need now is the everlasting kuunavang tonic

.But i'm struggling to earn money, and i would LOVE if you could help me out. if you could donate around ~30e would be wonderful! And if i got any ectos left i would happily return them to you, all i need in this game is a el kuuna

.

My ign name is the same as my forum name.

Hi Luke, I've been playing since the firsts steps of this game, but never had luck, tried to farm, to do SC and things, but money is still hard to find, so if you still have some ectos, i would be very happy to grab some

Something like ~15e, I have to finish my HoM for GW², so if you're up with that, my IGN is :

Heya

Well I wanted to get 50/50 points for the long future. I will keep play GW1 and am trying to make a GWAMM character on my mesmer. Although i got her a focus suiting for her play. I still would need some items. Because those items cost me money atm, I can't max my further titles out. That is Why i would like to ask you for around 30ecto or something.

IGN: I Mesmerize Myself
Thx alot for ur time

Deadfalk · May 28, 2012, 07:23 PM // 19:23

Hey Luke,

I'm not asking for anything - I'm doing alright, and I always get the stuff I need when I need it - but I just want to thank you for doing a great job like this for the community, seriously, it inspires me.
