Guildwars Ideas

[kathgar]

On the petitions:
A lot of the petitions I read and DELETED were as follows:

1) A petition saying that you have a question, and not stating the question.
2) A petition involving a problem with a character, without listing the character name or the specific problem(ie. "My char is stuck in oasis")
3) Petition stating that someone still has a problem, like "I petitioned an hour ago and my char is still stuck".. Great! I'll get right on that, since I have absolutely no information toat will help me resolve it!
4) Guild petitions without listing the leaders name, guildname and other information (No longer applicable)

So here is a guide for anyone making a petition, on any server.

1) Include all the information that is needed. This might involve the character name, a zone to be moved to, whatever.
2) Be concise, yet follow 1
3) Do NOT petition the same problem again for at least 24 hours
4) Please make a decent attempt at spelling and grammar. I certainly don't care that you typed 10 less letters with something cryptic when I cannot understand it anyways.
5) Be PATIENT, even if there is a GM or SOP on they could be busy.
6) Do NOT /t the GMs when a petition is what you want. I don't know how many time I got /t'd 'hi', exchange a few tells and BOOM there goes the question or problem that should have been /petitioned

Hopefully we will have a better petition answering system in place as well
On GM's cheating:
I cannot say it did not happen, but it should not have. I knew several GMs that had a completely seperate account for their real characters that had NO GM powers at all and played completely legit. ESPECIALLY if they were PVPing they were most likely legit. If you saw one of my chars, it probably wasn't legit. Then again, I never played on Guildwars. I was either testing code or gathering information. I will say this again, as I think it bears repeating. None of the GMs should have had any levels or items nonlegitly on their normal characters. This is certainly the case with anyone involved in the PVP.

Thats all I can think of at the moment, I might edit and amend the petition information if I remember any other petition pet peeves.

-END OFF TOPIC BUT ON THREAD SECTION-

Any GM events should probably be planned out and announced in advance at least a couple of days. As before, talk to an SOP about the items or whatever to be given out.

Owning a town should probably provide some extra benefit, maybe an exp or drop bonus. There could also be a bonus for owning neighbooring towns, say all of odus.. or odus + qeynos.. whatever

The guild creation is all ready being resolved.
