Red face How much does Anet Owe YOU?

Anet done a lot of things to guild wars, but what are the things that messed you up?

Examples:
  1. You ever lag out after the chest at FoWSC? And you are the one who used cons?
  2. 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.
  3. Got the most powerful build and spent 10k on tomes, but got nerfed the next day.
  4. Got a rare green drop, but lagged out before picking it up.
  5. 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.
  6. Spent 100k on a necrid horsemen when mini pets first came out. Three months later, your horsemen price is 20k.
  7. 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?


My examples:
I think Anet owes me about 400k. I bought mini kuurvang when factions came out for 75k. Sold it in about 1 week, right now it's over 300k. I worked so hard on my PvP warrior. Paid 3k per level in power leveling and got to max. In three days factions came out, leveling has never been easier. Recently I was farming gloom seeds, I lagged and died at least half the time I went. 10k lost to that damn avatar.

when it comes to the examples you have listed above, anet does not owe me, nor anyone else, anything. You've included situations that could well be your internet connection, market forces which anet does not control, skill balances which are needed and expected.

What anet DOES owe ME for was when me, and everyone else who bought the collector's edition of Factions, were locked out of the game for a week because they didn't get the boxes to the retailers soon enough for when factions went live (after the free preview)

I get something like example 1, but how does anet owe you for selling your mini for too little?

probably 2 million for nerfed equipment, skills, general lagging out, and minipets. I have bought and sold multiple kuunas when they were 100k.

The things that have happened to you have never happened to me and it is more than likely not Anet's fault. They can't control your internet connection, prices of items, the armors you choose or the skills that you buy. If you bought 10k worth of skills to farm or something of the sort then you are taking a chance it won't get nerfed the next day. They can't control what you buy. Anet doesn't owe me much, maybe a better drop here and there but that's about it.

Anet doesnt owe me anything. They have produced a game which I have loved for over 3000 hours now, all for under $200. That pretty much makes up for any drops that I may have lagged out from.

Anet is not the cause for ANY of these

1. You ever lag out after the chest at FoWSC? And you are the one who used cons?

More than half the time its your fault that you lag out

3. Got the most powerful build and spent 10k on tomes, but got nerfed the next day.

POWERFULL BUILD....theres a reason anet nerfs those

4. Got a rare green drop, but lagged out before picking it up.

More than half the time its your fault that you lag out (greens arent worth anything now)

5. 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.

Its not really anets fault that you bought it....its peoples fault because of buying from the merchant.

6. Spent 100k on a necrid horsemen when mini pets first came out. Three months later, your horsemen price is 20k.

Common sense in time more of them come out meaning MORE PETS

7. 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.

Yes just cause you lag out....anet tells them to go leave and report you

No idea, but I'd settle for a superior PvP experience in GW2.

This x100

Other than lagging out due to server problems, ANet doesn't owe you shit for any of them.

Anyways, ANet doesn't owe me anything.

@IcyFiftyFive: All I can say is shitty. That must really suck

Anet owes me one free makeover. Remember when they had the update to make the lips of the characters move at the end of mission cinematic? They seriously screwed up some toons that time. One free makeover for all!
