The first time ever that I won HA, Anet did an update and the chest wouldnt open. I was beyond pissed.

Anet owes me a mini ghostly

Anet owes me thousands of hours

Anet owe me nothing, but the OP owes me at least 5 minutes of my life back, and a better grasp of English grammar.

Examples:

You ever lag out after the chest at FoWSC? And you are the one who used cons?
At HoH but rubber banded the shrine run. Was ahead by 2 but realized you all the way near the relic pick up. Cost you the game.
Got the most powerful build and spent 10k on tomes, but got nerfed the next day.
Got a rare green drop, but lagged out before picking it up.
Spent 75k for elite armor, but the rare materials prices spiked on a new update. Now you realize you could have 300k if you didn't use it on the armor.
Spent 100k on a necrid horsemen when mini pets first came out. Three months later, your horsemen price is 20k.
Running SoO, everyone payed you 8k and about to get to boss. Then you lagged for 5 minutes and everyone left, calling you a RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing scammer then reported you.

WHAT DOES ANET OWE YOU AND WHY?

1: Lag isn't always Anets fault. Blame your ISP/shitty connection.
2: See above.
3: Bummer.
4: There are no "rare" green drops.
5: ...
6: .....Clearly you don't understand how an economy works.
7: See points about ISP.

Anet don't "owe" you anything.

Thank you, have a nice day.

Whenever such things happen I just say

"At least the game has free monthly subscribtions."

paddymew · May 27, 2009, 12:23 PM // 12:23

My sanity...

Oh wait, nevermind, I found it under my bed.

+1 for the link, I feel it's really relevant to the discussion.

I roflmao. thanks for the entertainment,

You should probably change the thread title to: I would have XXX gold if XXX didn't happen. If an ArenaNet liaison happens to read it they might report that as a problem and fix it. After that maybe we can all move to stay in Germany, I hear they have the best internet connection.

Ouch, he really let loose on that poor guy. :P +1 to Neil Gaiman too, and yeah. In context, definitely relevant.

However, I think the "blame your ISP" stuff is pretty much drilled into the OP's head by now. Let's not be redundant? :P

I'd go by the "I want my hours back in cash-form!" thing, but I get called in for work. It'd be nice, though.

Hells yeah.

I thought so too. Now GW is a product more than art, and as such I feel they have an obligation to support the sale they have made with a certain amount of quality. After all, they aren't giving me anything, I paid for this.

That being said, I have gotten a pretty good bargain out of the deal, as far as game time per dollars spent, so I can't complain too much.

The artistic comparison would be if the Dark Tower series (by Steven King) had ended at the end of the third book, where the characters where on a train barreling towards a rock wall or something. We need denoument (hehe, fancy word), but we can't expect things to go on forever.
