Come on... some of you guys are high end traders and heck... I even tried to buy one of your pandas from the Halloween Contest last year but you sold it to Scooby for 1500e+40 armbraces! You guys dont need to be begging for ectos...

I dont need any ectos either. So for me, I would like nothing. Instead, if you would like to buy a present for a good kid here is a name for you, Blaze the Healer. Unlike a lot of the kids in gw he is not a scammer, foul mouthed, begger, etc. He kind of latched onto me, but since he was a good kid that was fine, he is not a pest like so many others. He probably has about 150k of gold right now. So if you feel like making a good kid smile for the day, there is a worthy name for you if you feel like spreading the xmas cheer. I know he likes to 55 monk so an inscrib chaos axe would be a great present or even 10-20e and he can go buy one. He has some sort of white armor on and it would look good(He likes my chaos gloves and axe... shiny glowing things make all boys ohhh and ahhhh...) Anything would make him happy.

Take care and Happy Holidays.

eight arms to heal · Dec 09, 2008, 02:01 AM // 02:01

i understand that i don't meet all the requirements for this giveaway, but please take the time to read.

wish list:

1. elementalist/warrior green&gold weapons.
2. monk green&gold weapons.
3. any number of ectos.
4. any amount of gold.

story:

two years ago i moved away to college, hundred of miles from home, and never had a very strong relationship with my brother because of the age difference. (four years, which doesn't seem like much, but it is from 20 to 16). in an effort to strengthen my relationship with him, when i found out he was into computer games, i bought him guild wars for his birthday so the two of us could keep in touch, and i could try my best (in addition to phone and instant messaging) to keep up with how he's been. the two of us play often, and i've been trying to pump as much gold and as many items into his character as i can, but i'm not very good in game, and neither is he, so it's hard getting him on his feet sometimes. he primerally plays an elementalist character, and i primarely play a monk, so all i'm asking for is anything that can help me get mine and my brothers characters on our feet, so we can keep in touch with each other, while enjoying the game. even something as simple as enough gold to max out his armor, or some greens so he can have max weapon sets would be spectacular.

brothers IGN: when my words fade.

thank you for your time,
god bless and happy holidays,

Wishlist:100 ecto's

IGN-Zodiac War

I started a contest to see who was the best.
It ended with Iron Sheik who beat the rest.
Now's it week 2 of the fun.
Watching people do so much damage it made the Masters run.
However this week I go no donations.
Come on people of the Guild Wars nation!
The Master of Damage is relaxing at his house.
Players aren't encouraged to move their mouse.
So I ask for 100 ecto's for the game.
Then the Master will feel pain!

Divinity Sword · Dec 09, 2008, 02:17 AM // 02:17

This is a great idea! It's nice to be reminded of the Christmas spirit!

Well I've been with my guild for a long long time. Only been in one other guild ever, for about a day. All my guildies are really awesome. I knew most of them even before we started playing GW from a graphics design website. The new ones I know from the guild are really awesome and I'm happy to know them

. Been through the good times and the bad but we always manage to stick it through. I wouldn't leave them for the world and wouldn't feel right about it! Even for that one day I joined another guild to score an alliance it felt too weird being away. "Homesick" I guess you could say

.

Now I know some people from the alliance and they are also really great (might as well be part of my guild).

Love you all [DOTR] Guild & [Hope] Alliance!

Wishlist:
Get GWAMM before GW2
On my last title and no money for it or much time to farm with college

So I guess enough to finish my party animal (atm 2000 pnts)

The S H A D O W · Dec 09, 2008, 02:37 AM // 02:37

I don't really care what my wishlist is for GW atleast, but anything is fine.
at this moment.. i dont think i've had 50 posts but i want to share my experiences with 2 great players i've known for over 1 and half years.
First off the first one, Khillin N Killin, he no longer plays any more , that im not sure why, im guessing college, but we've hanged out for hrs on GW, talking helping each other out and mostly every time i'd get on i would search my friends to see if he wants to do something, we met in an alliance group for Urgoz, then later he helped teach me how to trap Stygian veil, now hes gone and i miss the fun we've had.
Secondly, this other friend, Rath Assassin Cross, i've played for over 1-2 yrs, and we both still play frequently (I cant get on mouch on week days but i still try to get on on weekends to hang out play AB, or farm for fun with him), I've done a lot of stuff with him, from CoF runs to FoW to just goofing around for fun,

we've shared our names to each other, and we just call each other by real names instead of character names, just cause its easier at times

....

Even though i might not qualify for this giveaway i still wanted to share my experiences in GW with these 2 great players.

here to troll · Dec 09, 2008, 02:56 AM // 02:56

Well first off, i would like to thank you for hosting such an event to involve all of the community. Secondly I'll say what I have to say.

In fact the whole reason I started playing this game was because of a great real life friend of mine. I had seen him play a few times, in pre mostly and also at the Hell's Precipice. I remember him being so excited about 1k, in pre when he first started the game, since it was around Christmas time, I decided, I would get it for myself, during boxing week sales(Canadian equal of Black Friday, anyone is wondering). So my first character I made, played around in pre(till something like lever twelve, man was I crazy or what). Of course Wintersday was coming up and I didn't want to miss it, so I went as fast as I could to Lions Arch, but I didn't get the hat. Anyways I would just like to say that my friend has been great and helped me whenever he could, and really was great and all. In fact, he even made a pre character to help me, because i was complaining about how hard the char were with one character. So basically I would like to thank him for how great and fun he has been over the years and all the times he has helped me and all of the great people at [KOS].

I guess my wish list would be a high requirement healing frog scepter or protection frog scepter or 105 shards for FoW armor or any number of "ecktoez" as you see fit. Thanks as well, and since your going to be announcing the winner after Christmas do you think you could pm me if i win, i doubt i will be on the Guild Wars or guru much, and when i am, I am not sure if I will think to check this thread.

One last thing. /pickme

Wishlist: 105 Ectos
105 Obby Shards
or just any amount of ectos

(Obby armor for my warrior)

IGN:Nick Scott

People that had helped me in Guildwars the most, was my guild iMud, Ever since I joined iMud, they have been nothing but helpful and kind. They a;ways would give advice, about real life, or the game, and never put anyone down. We scrimmaged weekly, and had loads of fun.

Thank you very much,

Happy Holidays!

Dr Imperial · Dec 09, 2008, 03:41 AM // 03:41

Wishlist:

61 ectos
60 shards

IGN: Dr Imperial

First off, I think it's incredibly nice of you to do this, and I think it's a brilliant idea to motivate people to cherish the people that we really should cherish more often.

Anyway, I'd like to thank a friend of mine who has been with me for a pretty good amount of time, by the name of Dark Lube. If he ever sees this, he'll probably laugh, but it's time he gets the respect he deserves for putting up with me.

He's always been a generous friend, and has always been there for a laugh. He's helped me manage my childish ambitions and guild management projects, and he sacrificed his own time so that his friends and others could have fun in his guild. We still talk whenever we're online - we always joke about me getting Obby armor - something I'm notorious for swooning over and farming for, for ages, but have never finished. Anyway, I'd just like to let Lube know, thanks a ton for being a great friend and someone who really makes my Guild Wars experience a thousand times better.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Wishlist: Chaos Gloves (I've always admired them), or any amount of ecto's to help me in acquiring them and the other FoW pieces I'm pursuing...

This is a great idea; I didn't realize GW was full of so many generous people... just reading these stories is fun :P.

The person I'd like to nominate as my "special friend" goes by the name Ketsumi (Ketsumi M D). About 2 years ago, when I was entering the PvP world and learning the ropes, this guy was a friend of my Guild Leader at the time, and eventually joined our guild. On the first day, something "clicked", and we've been playing GW together unto this day. It must have been after about a few months when Ket started to become a very popular monk in HA. He started playing w/ Sama, or other r12+ groups b/c of his "godly infusing". I thought he might get carried away and become arrogant... but he always tried to get me in a good group with him, and didn't forget about me. Meanwhile, he always had it as one of his goals to make me into a "pro monk"... it never happened, but the "training" was still a fun experience together, heh. After a few more months, he quit HA for the most part, and began to talk to me about having "anxiety problems", along with other RL issues. Some days I'd spend my whole GW playing time just talking to him, asking how his day went... keeping his mind away from his troubles, or helping him confront them. I didn't leave him either (as he'd been such a great friend to me, in too many ways to put down in this one post) Anyways, to make for a more cheerful story, he eventually improved his life, once again becoming the funny/happy guy I first met. We continue to talk, about GW/music/sports/etc... and I hope our friendship carries on into GW2

He has definitely made my time in GW a better one.

Happy Holidays to all!
(Sorry if this was too lengthy, but good luck to everyone else)

Our Lady Of Sorrow · Dec 09, 2008, 05:19 AM // 05:19

well my wishlist is FoW for my + my girlfriend (of 3+ years!) who play together in game, i even bought her a new computer to stop her lags!
we love playing together but have to look like poor people. we do everything together in the game, make up stupid builds so we can kill things as just us 2 (war + nec) and i know she will love a set of FoW for xmas!
id also probs give some to my best irl friend, who i have also played with for a long time, have had lots of laughs and stories with him,
thanks for your time.
-Davey

A11Eur0 · Dec 09, 2008, 05:34 AM // 05:34

My wishlist:

~4000 party points to max Life of the Party on my warrior
plus ~3000 sweet tooth points to max Connoisseur of Confectionaries

both of which will put me to R5 KoaBD and finally complete my HoM.
By the time this comes around I'll likely need less as I go into full-effect farm mode when holiday drops start. These are just general figures.

A good alternative which I might enjoy more than binging on easily-farmable consumables would be a mini mad king thorn. Dedicated or undedicated doesn't matter as I have a full HOM of minis and that's all i care about as far as that goes.

My "special friend" is a tough decision...but I'm going to have to give it to one of my good friends and long-time guildies named Ryan who goes by the name of Darth Crypto in-game. We've been through about 4 guilds together. Whenever one of us has an issue with a guild member/officer/leader serious enough to leave/get kicked, the other follows, although we're currently in different guilds atm due to him focusing more on PvP and I'm in a PvE-heavy guild.
We've given each other advice about GW, non-GW, discussed similar issues we've been going through outside GW such as employment and relationship difficulties. I'm the first person he whispers if he needs items of any sort, and he's the first person I call on if I need/want some company through something PvE, or advice on a PvP build. We're friends IRL despite the distance between us and if we lived close to one another I'm damn sure we'd be chilling regularly. We both have similar attitudes, neither of us are afraid of telling the other how it is, and we respect each other for it.

daraaksii · Dec 09, 2008, 06:44 AM // 06:44

Hello guys.

First of all, I have nothing on my wishlist, I just find this a good idea to give away items, and also get know some of the Guru members.

My story is simple. I've started playing Guild Wars on like the 2nd week. As a starter online gamer, it was best to join some hungarian guilds, since I'm hungarian.
Joined one of the few guilds, only 5 members. We were collecting gold for a guild hall for like 2 weeks (this time a guild hall was really, REALLY expensive

). Then I started to party more with one of the 5 guild members.
We played through the game, getting stuck at Amnoon Oasis, becouse it was overpowered for us

, then finally beat the game.
Things were the same for like a month, then he told me he have to do Dragon's Lair with his warrior. We met there, formed a party, and he spotted a warp in the outpost.
- What's that? Tomb of the Primeval Kings? Wanna go there, Nafret?
- No, thanks, let's do this mission.
- Naaah, I want to see what's this.
- Okay, tell me when you need my help with Dragon's Lair.
- Fine, bye-bye!

And from this time, he fell in love with PvP. We didn't party as much time as before, he left the guild for another one, then we didn't party at all.
After two years, he became one of the few r12's.
I had a one year break, came back and found at that he left the game. I don't know any contact infos about him.

That's my story.

Shadow Sin · Dec 09, 2008, 06:56 AM // 06:56

Well, first, I just want to thank Illfated Fat for this event. With most of Guild Wars people quitting, a vast difference has been made between the rich and the poor. Second, I just want to say that its also very nice of you to host an event, especially since it can somewhat relate to the world so far, where most players on Guild Wars barely get enough time to farm like everyone else for hours on end.

My wishlist: 100e would be nice, especially since I'm helping to host a party in my alliance, it would really help to give them some goodie-bags to help remind them that not everyone on Guild Wars is a greedy person.

My special person I met in Guildwars would have to be my boyfriend, Alex Chambers. Yes, it's awkward, one of those, I met my bf/gf on a game, but it's even nicer when we first met. It was around Wintersday last year, and well, things got off from there. It's hard keeping in touch with him since I live in America, and he in Scotland, but we always play Guild Wars together, even helping to start our own guilds and to comfort each other in our times of need.

What I'm really trying to say though is that if you do decide to give me any amount of ectos, I would highly appreciate it. I also commend you for the happiness you will bring to any individual you choose.

谢谢.~冯爱民(Thanks)

Hope · Dec 09, 2008, 09:27 AM // 09:27

Thank you for this give-away, very kind of you, merry christmas!

My wish goes to my lover and cherished Lady Bloodrawen, in event of winning contact her.

I know she asked for Chaos Gloves before I took my leave from Guild Wars, I wish I could of stayed and helped with it, but addiction took over and I had to break up with the game.

Our story started in 2005, we were both in the same guild from a co-insidence really, got to know eachother, we realized we liked eachother, and today we are a couple.

We started our journey in a guild call Desert Flames, we were in it probably 6 months if not more, I was saving up for my first Fissure armor, she was AB'ing alot with fellow friends of the guild, we were quite good I remember and soon enough we were in the alliance owning Cavalon.

The story doesn't have a happy ending however, The guild master of said guild was helping me with book-keeping over the ectos and shards I had saved. And like allways the helpless are victim over their own stupidity. I lost alot of confidence in mankind after that, shut myself out from other players, when I told Lady this and she raged on said guild master with the consequense of being kicked herself.

There we were, alone, together, we started our own guild, The Vampire Covenant VamP, we were in it for about a year by ourselfes more or less. Some friends jumped in occasionally, and today they are our best friends. Keeping in touch everyday, one way or another.

We helped eachother with quests, items and armor. Even though I tried helping her as much I could, but she allways helped me more.

Now in the wintery appartment we live together in, I can see her before me, vanquishing an shiverpeak area. The same fire in her eyes as of over 3 years ago when we started playing together.

She helped me through hardships and sorrows, I think she would be a perfect candidate for recieving a good Christmas present.

I love you, allways <3

Merry Christmas everyone.

Detooz · Dec 09, 2008, 11:24 AM // 11:24

wishlist: my friends life back.

one of my IRL friends that i played GW with, died lastyear round this time of the year due to cancer.
we used to farm all the time togheter in UW, before the 55hp + S/B (dual farm build) got nerfed. He and i had a guild togheter.. after his death everyone lefted the guild, eccept me. he and i will allways be in the same guild,share the peasure of gaming! i miss him tho.

idk even know if it was worth to tell you anyting of this, but i felt that i had to reaelse some of my thoughts to make the burden easier.. im just a Pre-Searing Cadet.

RIP Specs.

happy xmas. /Fredrik

Shasgaliel · Dec 09, 2008, 11:42 AM // 11:42

wish 100e for my GL (his Ign is Baron Ivellios).

Story: I have rarely seen people with such dedication. Always helping and with everything just to be able to play with someone else. Even in easy quests. Patient for newbies. Lots of money donated for guild events and what is important always polite and happy to give his spare mod or weapon. I have not met many people like this in GW. Always trying. A lot of free time dedicated to run and create the forum again from scratch and extreme dedication for guild. I was never very social in gw but now I am and I know whom to thank for that. I am also quite sure that if the wish is granted it will mostly go for more guild contests.

chaosincarnate87 · Dec 09, 2008, 12:37 PM // 12:37

Wish - 1-300e, anything is all good.

the person who i would like to discuss is the person who inspired me to get back into guild wars and be a lot less selfish, and is also the person i would like the ecto or whatever the prize may be to go to, dragon queen orlith, the guild leader of my guild/alliance [eyes]. since i have more or less everything i want aside from a couple money titles and a set of fow armor for my dervish, i think she is more deserving than i am. i've been in the guild for about a year (a year as of jan 30th) and she has been nothing but welcoming to EVERYONE that has joined. the alliance is a 650+ member alliance in which she finds the time to field dozens of pm's from allies about anything and everything every night she logs on. she runs tournies for all who wish to participate that range from 1v1 to 4v4 and hero battle style tournies as well which every week prizes range from appx. 100k total in cash and prizes to even more. and even while working full time, taking care of her children, and family and such, she still finds time to help everyone and do nice giveaways, organize a secret santa for our guild and attempts to get everyone something nice for the holidays and their birthdays as well. she always promotes selflessness in her guild members and never asks anything of the members or the officers aside from being mature and helpful to everyone that we run into in order to maintain our guild's good standing in the gw community.

the reason i ask for her to have this money aside from being the most worthy person that i personally know of, is that after all of the aforementioned activity she has to sit and farm items and gold for all the tourneys and rarely ever gets a break to actually play the game. which is why i would like the prize or part of to go to her to kind of help ease the burden of helping everyone and give her a bit more of a chance to enjoy guild wars in itself rather than grinding everyday.

well, ive said my peace, and i thank you for running such a generous giveaway in such a wonderful time of the year.

/Lance (aka magnus steelgrave)

AcidDaze · Dec 09, 2008, 01:08 PM // 13:08

illfated, your giveaways get better and better

i'm another one who is doubly blessed. i've only just got my first birthday prezzie and there are two ppl who have been with me throughout that time.
as i bought gw like 2 weeks before them and the eotn trial weekend happened to fall then, i've always been a small step ahead of them in regards to titles and storyline but, that meant i could always come back and help them when they were struggling.
between the three of us we've always found the items we need; if we have anything droped for us when the others are not online, it is saved and given free to the one who needed it.
there have been times this year where i've found it hard to stay in gw but everytime i've told them that i'm leaving, they always think of some fun new twist to an aspect of gw that i've missed.
so i suppose this is a thank-you to those two rather than a bid in this comp...however, a christmas present for those guys would also be nice

one is a W/E and the other is a necro, if you have a really nice hammer or a nice 40/40 necro set (the necro still thinks he can tank if he has ursan so, only owns a sword :S )
If you think that is too small a gift then i would be nice to hold a christmas party for these guys and the rest of my guild so any party items or sweets would also be welcome.

Merry Christmas (however you celebrate it) everyone, and have a successful New Year.

/Kraal Fardale (<--IGN)

[edit] oh yeah, the guys i'm talking about are Dave Wild and Waker Shadow.

w0utje15 · Dec 09, 2008, 03:11 PM // 15:11

I can think of numerous things for the wishlist, but anything is oké.

The one thing that I will always remember, is something I've seen on the GameAmp Forums. There was a guild which I can't remember the name, who had a Member we passed away because of a traffic accident ( I believe, not sure.. ). The made a memorial day for the poor fellow. That actualy started me thinking, you don't have to know each other, to bond with them. We are just playing a game, and when this happens people are really nice, to hold a memorial for someone you have never seen before, or never talked to IRL.

That shows how close a guild of friends can be, though they don't actualy know each other. This was the story that a big impact on me..

Well.. that's it then, the end of the story..

Merry Christmas everyone !!

Greetings,

Wouter ~w0utje

.
IGN : Gromm Hescream

Maybe the most special person for me in guild wars is Uor A, so i've known him for about 21 months the time i have played this game. I met him on my very first day when started gw. He was doing guild recruiting and i joined in. He was very helpfull to me all the time, always answering all my questions and helping me with all the missions i needed. Later on when we knew each other better we were helping each other also on trading, he was giving high end items to me to sell them for him cuz i was the better seller anyway

, the thing was i was trusting this person entirely and i knew i can give him all i had and i was sure he will return everything back 100%.

Nowdays he still plays, but he is doing much more pvp than pve, so we arent doing much stuff together except for some pvp of course...

All and all, that was what i wanted to share with you, have a nice christmas all

.
