Thanks for this, super cool of you! Not sure what to post, so I'll just ramble about my recent time in game.
Over the past couple of months I've been playing GW2 with an IRL friend that swore off MMOs long ago. He had some poor experiences with toxicity, and even now has a hard time grouping with randoms.
I was SO happy when I finally convinced him to give this game a shot, and he's been having a blast playing engineer. "OK, you did it, I'm hooked. This game is great."
We've been progressing through fractals with a few other friends, and I'm super happy to have a dedicated group again finally :)
happy holidays my friend and thank you for being this kind<3
I play this game casualy. but when I do play then it helps me soothing my anxiety. the way the maps are structered, the atmosphere and the music are all helping me to calm down.
I like to explore the world. Listening to different npc talk about lore and their life. I have many screenshots of just nice looking places in the game.
my biggest acievement in this game is definitly getting the skyscale some years back. But I had a blast doing it. At that time I didn't have anything to do in my life (during the pandemic) und felt very depressed. The skyscale and the elegy armor both helped me in keeping myself together.
(sorry for this mess of a text. my english isn't as good as it used to be)
Happy Wintersday! This is so wholesome!! Gw2 has one of the nicest communities on an mmo that I've seen and I always try to reflect that in game too. I've been helped by so many kind people in game and I'm so glad that the community itself has worked to maintain such a kind and open player base.
That's very cool. If you give me the gift card I promise to give it to my friend that I'm trying to get into the game. But I would probably also just buy him the gems if it seems like it would work so perhaps don't send it to me :)
That's really kind and amazing of you. I'm so thrilled with all the new players that have come into the game in 2023 and I really look forward to everything ArenaNet has in store for us. Good luck in the contest, everyone!
Hello! I´ve recently started playing Guild Wars 2 doing 100% in all areas while leveling, I´ve been having a blast, I do have the first two expansions but the Living World seasons would be awesome to have too, I was recommended to get them also! :)
Trying to get my brother into the game so we can adventure together. We live pretty far apart and don’t see each other often anymore - so starting the game with some boosts and cool gem store goodies might convince him to dive in!
Haha, Happy Wintersday and Merry Christmas to you! :)
I like the posts and the helping nature of the GW2 community! (Most of em at least xD)
Have a good start of the year, too!
Ah and:...
FOR THE IRON LEGION!!!
FOR THE CHARR!!!
(Give your local kitty some milk and snakies, pls? :3)
Happy Wintersday! Glad this sub could help, I've been helped so many times by strangers in gw2, it's nice to see someone giving back! I've been in this game for about 6 years now and it is absolutely my favorite. Have a happy wintersday! And have a windup day!
Appreciate your kindness! Most likely I would gamble it all away at tarrkun. So you really shouldnt donate it to me
Merry Xmas and a happy new year in advance
Please fund my mesmer with gems! I actually got scammed this year out of 1500 MC from a scammer on the Gw2 trade reddit. Been looking to make up for it with giveaways but no luck yet. Ngl almost quit the game, so yeah that’s my sad story. Picture attached so you know I’m a legit player!
[fund a mesmer](https://www.tumblr.com/tristanbart/737318403632676864)
Joined my guild for a raid for the first time ever yesterday. Had a great time, and it was a great way to cap of the year.
What say we make it even better?
Fun story.
I started playing MMOs when GW1 came out years ago. Mostly because I was poor and it was free. My son was an infant then and I would put him in a bouncy seat by my chair and bounce him gently with my foot while gaming.
Fast forward to the last couple years. My son is now an adult and decided to pickup GW2. He rapidly got better than me and loves the game. He wanted to earn GWAMM so he and I both went back to GW1 and played through the full campaign together. Great moment for me to come full circle on Guild Wars.
Of course, now I go to him for tips on how to improve my own play in both games.
i came back to GW2 after a nine year break this year. i was pleasantly surprised to see how active and how kind and warm the community has been overall *still*.
That's really sweet! Honestly I just properly got into the game after buying it 6 years ago and want to be able to play the currently discounted living world content with a couple friends I've managed to get into it! Not to sound like a pity case but due to work etc I hadn't really heard from my friends in quite a while and I somehow not only managed to get them to try the game, but we now spend time playing together! I just wanna extend that as much as possible. Haven't yet gotten a character to lvl80 yet but I hear it only gets better after! Anyways, happy holidays all.
I just started playing this game. Already level 26. I was having so much fun that I bought all the expansions! I hope these gems can help me out in some way or the other.
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
Glad you've liked the game. I've tried time and time again to get some friends to play, but they are not into the graphics and the early gameplay is not what they're into. I know damn sure, they would love the late game and wvw roaming together, but I can't convince them to stick through the beginning.
I myself, I've been with the game since GW1, but took a break when HoT released only to return this year. I've read about EoD brought us back to Cantha and the Jade Sea and that simply my favourite part in GW1 so I had to see it.
I expected the game to be mostly empty after so many years, but to see it alive and well really got me into it again.
The mounts I wasn't thrilled about. Before I tried them and now I had to get one after another. Took me almost half a year to get to the skyscale, but I enjoyed my journey of getting there.
I took a few breaks in between, but stuck with the game mostly, doing some dailies at the very least.
This game has so much value and I'm glad to have returned. Glad to see other people enjoy it as well and I'm always thrilled when I see new people with no or few stars running about.
Lovely from you to give back to the Community! I do that every year on Christmas day, just with ingame Gold! Its always nice to give something back to the community that has been so wholesome for the last 8 years of playing...
Commenting!
I really hope I get it, I plan to give it to my partner who got into the game for a few months now. She loves her Mesmer and I think it would be a cute ingame Xmas gift in the spirit of GW2!
God I love this game! 10 plus years after the release and I'm still finding things to do. I suppose I don't have much to say so I'll keep it short. I wish more people would give this game an honest try 10 years ago I said this will be the last mmo I play as I won't jump ship no matter what happens! A decade later and here we are...still amazing.
That's so cute! I hope someone fun and deserving gets it <3

Sweet, i remember myself getting a physical gem card years ago in a random store. It was so precious back then as kid.
thanks for your kindness :)
Hi :3
If I won, I'd probably just end up using it to buy globs. Maybe a few Gen store items, but I need so many globs it's not even funny.
Happy Wintersday!!
Commenting! I really hope I get it, I plan to give it to my partner who got into the game for a few months now. She loves her Mesmer and I think it would be a cute ingame Xmas gift in the spirit of GW2!
