Random acts of kindness

I think everyone should be prepared for a mass of odd-balls when GW2 launches, everybody and his dog will be in with us :) On the plus side, it will be hard for anyone to figure out who the good players are in the persistent world, which is a good thing imo.

@Tarkol. I think you are right about it being an internet thing, 8 years ago, the internet was relatively new and people still tended to treat each other as they do in the real world. Now people have grown up with it, or take it for granted as a world without consequences (untrue). I still believe though that the general ethos of Arenanet will permeate the new community, making it less abrasive.

@XXX. The guild per character aspect you mention is a point worth remembering, it will allow players to use different guilds for different playstyles. I have been working on a post about guilds, but will hold back until I either get time to finish it, or more information arrives from Arenanet :)

Yeah I can relate to that. Looking back on forums on some flame threads feels very nostalgic. Plus I love to see they way people use to think back then and how they act now.

On topic, I can be nice, when I see somebody I want to help to. But when I see the kind of player who will ask me tommorow and the day after that for more help, I just cant help it from screwing a bit with them.

About the thing people is kinda **** to each other on the game or forums, they always says its just a game. But I realised everyone who play MMo's play it not because they want to be harassed 24/7. Because here in the game nothing else mattars, not the mortgage, not your wife, not your school or work. In this game you just free.

other game communities have gone down hill imo because they encurage segragation in the game, i mean people always hate the people who are the best geared in the server even if they are decent people, complete strangers whisper them to tell them they have "no life" then on top of that the factions in the games cause people to pick a side and argue for the dominance of their group. any thing that one group does can hurt the other, yah u helped some nub hordies kill some nub aliance town, now the aliance is SoL and they will go kill some nub horde town i mean WTF?! no one gets anywhere the game communities are just a big freaking circle of random acts
GW2 seems to be diffrent in the fact that it encurages people to play nice with everyone for the betterment of everyones game time insted of playing ring around the rosy with everyone on the servers, also with the gear being specified drops for people there shouldnt be as much hate for people that got it as a drop insted of winning it as a roll against 24 other people or because they are in with the loot councle and have the favortism factor in their favor

Yeah but I find that in those games which makes you hate one each other, you can see who's a **** and who's a good friend.
But I guess sometimes not knowing the truth is kinda better then knowing the ugly truth.

lol we slightly got off topic about random acts of kindness. but any ways since i like to play games and im gonna be getting most of the stuff i want from HoM im gonna have alot of stuff i will be getting that i wont use. so, a few weeks after the release i would like to have a scavenger hunt (for items or gold or... something) but it will be pritty crappy if im the only one working on it so, if any one would like to help set it up with me(donations, help make the item list for the scavenger hunt, etc..) send me a message, or if u just think it would be a cool idea just send me a msg telling me so . lol would serve as modivation to get it done
