(Please note, in neither of my posts have I stated my own position. I have simply clarified why some feel as they do.)

I really don't appreciate guilds who didn't participate getting capes that they don't deserve.......... Also, my guild had to use henchmen because of a hurricane that knocked half of our teams power out. I asked 2 admins if we could just withdraw and still get capes like the teams who only submitted rosters and I was flat out ignored. So yea... some of our players got up at ungodly hours like 2AM to sit around henchwaying for 5 hours just so we get capes. Instead of designating that X-Y ranked tournament place gets a certain item they should just give 1,2,3..8 item choices~~~ same as for the Xunlai House.

Ward Against Noobzz was one guild I was thinking of who, in my opinion, are certainly entitled to some disgruntlement. Poor Chaos Sanctuary, with their time zone making tournament play ~1-3am for them as well, also clearly have a leg to stand on. If they couldn't just go back to sleep and get capes, then all those other top 50s who sent a roster shouldn't get capes either.

I guess it just wouldn't be Guru if people didn't start complaining, but c'mon! did anyone really expect some big, serious, uber-leet, exclusive prize for winning or participating in a contest with Wintersday in the title????

Wintersday is, by definition, just for the fun of it!

To those that played or tried to play in the battles and had unfortunate real-life complications, I'm sorry, really. That sux.

To those that are complaining about their wintergreen rewards being less exclusive and therefore not a sufficient reward ... how's this for a reward? Thanks to the activities ANet offered, people who normally wouldn't think twice about anything to do with PvP got interested in the battles you guys were fighting! I'll bet you had bigger audiences than any PvP battles ever before. People watched you play, and maybe, just maybe some of them saw things they'd never thought of. Maybe your games inspired more people to try PvP. That seems like a pretty cool uber-leet reward. You guys should be proud of that!

So, from all us die-hard PvE'ers out there that never gave it a thought before, thanks to ANet for luring us in to watch, and thanks to all the players for the fights we got to see and the new ideas to ponder!

And to the people complaining because their wintergreen items aren't going to be worth as much ecto now ... oh, just booooo! You'll have to farm extra candy canes over Christmas break, so very sad.

I still say ANet's response of letting everyone get a little just-for-fun wintergreen item shows a lot of class on their part. So, again, well played ANet!

Cheers all & Happy Holidays!

Looks like the outcome on this event/project went very well. I was not able to be a part of it but regurdless, I have nothing to complain about. It looked fun, people had a good time and I hope Anet does alot more things like this! Two thumbs up in my opinion. And congratulations to everyone who participated and won!

Happy Holidays everyone!
