I'm not sure how much you can share, if anything, but I was curious as to what the office is like on a content launch day. Is it another normal day with a big red button to upload the patch? Lots of celebrating? If you have already answered this in another location I apologize (but was also unable to find any other mention). Thanks and cheers to another smooth content roll out!

I know I'm late to the party, but I read some responses, watched the video, and have a few thoughts. I'd like to see Guild Wars succeed and, aside from some anti-consumer gem store pricing and practices, I think Arena Net has created -- and continues to create -- something amazing. I would recommend showcasing the following: Content, content, content. MMO players want to know they're not going to be wasting their time with something that's over quick and then they have nothing to do. Some of the things that could be mentioned: Raids, Fractals, Dungeons, World Vs World Vs World, World Bosses, Dynamic Events, Holiday Events, Living Seasons, Guild Missions, unique races, unique classes, robust customization and I'm sure much more. You could mention there is pvp... but I wouldn't recommend it until it undergoes some fundamental changes.Community. MMOs are made or undone by their community. One of the reasons I continue to play is the great people I've met in the game. Despite a few trolls and angry people, Guild Wars 2 probably has one of the best communities in gaming. Show people what makes it so great.Fun. At the end of the day, the only thing that really matters is whether the game is fun to play. I don't get a sense of what the game is all about based on the trailer. I get it's a quick teaser, but with highlighting the story, why couldn't they just watch it on a let's play? Show newcomers what makes the game fun to play.How Guild Wars 2 is different. There are too many WoW clones and free to play titles available. You already know you're competing in a massively (multiplayer online) saturated market. If you want to reach people, show them how you're different, how your game is unique and offers something others don't.I visit MMORPG.com from time to time and Guild Wars 2 is consistently one of the highest rated, most popular games on their list. The current trailer seems amateurish and doesn't show all the unique, fun things Guild Wars 2 has to offer new players. Thanks for listening to feedback and being proactive about the community. Just another thing that makes Guild Wars 2 special.

The FB page says you won't get duplicates. You still have to spend over $120 to get all the skins (or spend up to that amount for the ONE skin you WANT). This is predatory and while there are "no duplicates" it's like saying a diet cola is better for you because it's diet. This is Diet Lootbox presented by Anet.

The whole point of the gem store is to buy what you want. The Black Lion Chests are already lootboxes; add the random mount skins to them. This stable thing is predatory and unnecessary. I won't be purchasing your gambling stables and will encourage everyone else not to. Allow people to purchase the skins they want directly. I'm ashamed that Anet had decided to start dipping a grubby finger into the lootbox mania that's taken over the game industry. Your gem store is where it should be. All this is going to do is make people angry, alienate your customers, and cause people to stop buying gems. Is that really the goal here?
