I'm in a similar boat with the Paypal, but I never get to the web browser. The transaction errors out and returns to the first screen at the point where it should open an external browser. I've never had a problem with buying gems with Paypal in the past, even a couple weeks ago. Please Anet I'm trying to give you my money, why won't you take it? edit - I can get to the screen that sends me to Paypal on my other GW2 account (skwerlz.9604) but not this one.

You did say in your original post that this ad was aimed at bringing in new players. The human connections and community feel are what keep you playing but something needs to really attract your attention in the first place. In a market saturated with big budget titles some customer testimonials and slow-mo panoramic landscape shots just won't do it for what I'd imagine is a large majority of potential players. You really need to get the sense that this is an epic game with a marvelous and diverse combat system because in the end that's exactly what it is and that's what I strongly feel is the best way to grab the attention of potential customers. If you're looking to bring players back you remind them of the friends they made along the way while showing them new stuff, if you're looking for brand new customers you need a big flashy sign saying you're epic and worth checking out over the competition.

This video wouldn't get me to look at the game, and may have the exact opposite effect. Looking at this from the perspective of a person that doesn't already love the game I'm actually getting quite turned off by the video. -All of your accolades are from usernames and social media, this instantly tells me you can't get a good review from a reputable source like IGN, PC Gamer, etc... and instead need to rely on die-hard fans to get a positive review.-There is little combat being shown, and none of it is meaningful. Instead it's a grainy mount montage with some peter jackson ripoff clips thrown in.-The video doesn't tell a story, it's all disjointed and doesn't flow.-Even in the small player the video looked grainy and pixellated. What I'd want to see as a prospective player is something like an epic story told in 1 minute. Starting with level 1 and jumping forward to dungeon and story bosses in the order they come up. BOSSES not random open world mobs, nobody cares about killing a random mob. As the story progresses the character's armor and weapons get grander and grander. The story reaches a crescendo with 10 characters in legendary armor with "serious" legendary weapons taking on a raid boss, leave an open ending suggesting this isn't the end but the beginning. All of this is done with renders or extremely high res footage, cropping a 640x480 area of the screen then blowing it back up to 1900p looks horrible. Any accolades are quoted from reputable sources only, not users or social media posts. Telling the video's story shows that there is an epic story being told within the game far better than a 3 second clip of balthazar here and there. Basically show me this is a game worth playing over World of Warcraft from a raw quality of content standpoint, not fashion wars and landscapes.
