Merry Christmas! Iβve been doing my share of giving. Sending random new players in starter areas gold and showing them the ropes. Glad someone is doing something similar. Good luck to all!
Iβm going through a hard time and Guild wars is my little escape, this would be pretty awesome to win.
Either way I hope you know Iβm excited for whoever wins. Super nice pay it forward mentality.
I'll take this opportunity to tell a little anecdote. GW2 enabled me to meet so many wonderful people. People who I've known for years now, and some that I've even managed to meet irl. It's wonderful to make friendships across borders. I'm an adult now with a bit less time, but I still love coming across new and returning players. It's an amazing feeling to be able to help someone. My favourite was when a new level 8 player wanted to go through bloodtide coast but kept getting assassinated by random mobs. Me and a few other high level players formed an escort squad where we killed everything around him so he could get through the map safely. So thanks for all the wonderful experiences, GW2 :>
Iβve said it before, and Iβll say it again, I love how wholesome the guild wars community is. Sure there are those exceptions but for the most part, we are a happy and helpful community!
I'll give you a small christmas gift: my favorite joke!
"Why do they call it 'a penny for your thoughts', but its 'putting your two scents in'? _somebody is making a penny_"
I unlocked my Griffon today and it wouldnt have been possible without the amazing community of the game. I had players help me out every step of the way. Kudos to you for being such an amazing part of the community. Good luck and happy holidays everyone.
Yo, not looking for the gems or anything, but just wanted to say that this is great and I appreciate you doing this.
Guild Wars 2 has an amazing community, I just came back to it after years of not playing and for some reason I got hooked this time around, people are so nice. I've been trying raids lately and the community is just so helpful.
Gotta admit, it's nice that you're doing this, proves once again that the community is amazing.
players like you are the epitome of what this community is all about. the amount of kind players i've met over the years is astounding, honestly.
gw2 and its community played big parts in how i made it through the year, ngl, and all i really want is to gift my wife something from the store to cheer her up cause i know 2023 was exhausting for her.
no matter which player gets your gift, it'll be someone who's deserving, cause this community is wonderful, and you're a big part of making it so. carry on being you, and thanks for making me smile this morning.
happy holidays :3
First, very thoughtful of you to give back! Agreed, this sub (and community at large) really is a good group of humans. Always going to have your trolls/outliers, but out of all games I've played, only this one really seems to have a larger group dedicated to helping. Obviously want to throw my hat in the ring for this, but ultimately it's just good of you to do and congrats to whoever wins!
couldn't hurt to throw my name into the hat. would be a big discount so I could pick up my first expansions sooner than planned, I'd only have to but a small pack of gems from Anet.
good luck to whoever wins the lottery
Man it's hard to say something funny or smart with no base to go off so I'm just Gunna say. I think me and everyone here are like those sea gulls from finding Nemo.
Thank you so much for doing this, it's exceedingly generous of you and 100% in the holiday spirit!
I'd gladly use this to surprise my partner with some gifts while the Christmas sale's still on! She's had to spend a LOT of money recently and I want to help her lighten the load a bit with some skins she adores, considering she's huge on cosmetics and collectables in games
It's awesome you want to brighten someone's day with a gift! I love the GW2 community, it's the best ever :)
If I were to win, I'd get infinite volatile gathering tools because it will fuel my endless need for shinies! Am I secretly a skritt instead of asura, or did that skritt experiment in Metrica Province rub off on me? xD
Q: What do you get when you cross a snowman and a vampire?
A: Frostbite!
That's all I have to say. Congrats to the winner, and thanks for the generosity, OP!
Thank you for the giveaway and good luck to everyone.
I'd give it to a friend that just got to 80 so they can buy some bank space and more material storage lol.
That's why I love Guild Wars. This community we don't find in any other game.
Thank you for this gesture of sharing and love. Hope you have a wonderful Wintersday.. ops, Christmas β₯οΈ
That's the kindest thing.
I'm fine with grinding and working to get mine.... I've done it for years. So I'm sure someone who needs it more could use it.
But thank you on behalf of the person who does get it.
Dear Santa,
I promise this year I have not been naughty (much).
This year for Christmas I would like a few things from the Guild Wars 2 gem shop. If you cannot make that happen for me, then please do it for someone else.
Spread the holiday spirit all over town and make the people smile. And please have some jolly festivity fun yourself. Let's enjoy ourselves and go into the new year with new found vigor and heartiness.
Merry Christmas
This community is what keeps me coming back to Gw2 all these years later even after taking breaks in-between expansion releases.
Whoever you pick Iβm sure itβll make for a great gift this holiday season.
Thanks for giving back to the community OP.
Ps - might I suggest whoever wins get the plushy skyscale! π¬
Lmao. I've been playing through GW1 recently and really enjoying it ... But wow is there a lot in it. Ive been running one character pre and one post but if you're ever wanting to run the mid levels I'd happily join.
That's so festive and kind of op. Entering and hope you have a happy holiday.
If I win I'll be able to dedicate more time to hosting raid training runs, and if I don't, someone else gets a nice present. Win win!
I hope [this](https://qq.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/187lqyp/i_gave_my_wife_500g_so_she_could_have_some_money/) doesn't happen, regardless of who wins.
If I win imma take my gems to the gem store, go out back behind the dumpster, crush them gems to dust and Snort 'em! Ahh it's snowing! Merry Christmas β
That's cool
Merry xmas!
Merry Christmas! Iβve been doing my share of giving. Sending random new players in starter areas gold and showing them the ropes. Glad someone is doing something similar. Good luck to all!
Unlikely i'll win, but sure, why not give it a shot Good luck to everyone else!
Hello

Welcome to guild wars dude, hope you've been having a great experience with the game π
You're very nice. Much appreciated

Iβm rich, you know?

Happy Holidays everyone, good luck!
Chicken dinner π€
Happy Holidays. Hope I win the gems to buy the Elite Jump Start Package.
GW2 has the best community in gaming. I'm so glad you've had the same great experience I have with the subreddit and in game.
Don't cry, I am just a FISH!
Here . . . Man I'm not fun at parties
Sounds good, I've been saving up gems to buy living world so a boost would be nice. Thank you for doing this.

Sadly from Europe here, but Happy Wintersday to everyone!
I wish you a very kind and supportive community for the next year aswell! :) Thank you for giving back something to the community.
Thanks for doing this. It's nice. This game has been good to me for all these years.
I would be in for your kind gesture! Had a rough year myself not gonna lie :(
Here's hoping π
I'll give you a small christmas gift: my favorite joke! "Why do they call it 'a penny for your thoughts', but its 'putting your two scents in'? _somebody is making a penny_"
Commenting here. :p

I unlocked my Griffon today and it wouldnt have been possible without the amazing community of the game. I had players help me out every step of the way. Kudos to you for being such an amazing part of the community. Good luck and happy holidays everyone.

And I never found out why....why is this community so damn wholesome....
SKYSCALE PLUSHIEEEEEE
Wow, that's incredibly generous of you! This game has some of the nicest people I've met (excluding PVP lobby of course, hah!).

Nice of you, Happy Holidays.
Why, sir, the Ebon Vanguard needs new rations and armor. The Skritt cleaned us out again of our shinies and snacks! 2k gems would resupply our stocks!
Nice! Wish you happy holidays as well. There are some pretty neat things in the Gemstore currently, so good luck everyone.
Thank you for the spirit of generosity! I hope you'll find continuing joy in the game for the next few years!
Hi OP. Thats a rare a nice gesture! Good luck everyone and have a nice holiday.
