'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Maybe once we have the bots and trade spammers dealt with more fully -— and we work on that daily —- we can look at...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' ... the people who scam others, particularly in Pre-Searing. "grrrrrrr"

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Luxon/Kurzick cap raise? I will ask.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' My pleasure, Rez. ;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Goodness, Phah, nice collection! :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I confess to having a certain fondness for good chocolate. ;)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Hi, my name is Gaile. I'm a chocoholic is probably not too far off the mark. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' *points at new miniature*

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' *who plays a flute* :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't see a return of fame stick, sorry. Maybe we'll incorporate something like that in GW2, I don't know.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Silly, my birthday is in August, but thank you.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I have not read the skill changes yet, I'm sorry, so no word on Prot Spirit.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It is my strong belief that in GW:EN, we will retain the Level 20 cap.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' GW2, as you know, will open that cap to something higher, perhaps to no ceiling whatsoever

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If we don't do a Wintersday Festival, heads will roll

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Errr... Yes, I believe we would do a Wintersday Festival. *ahem*

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh, that's ok, I could level this girl — I just like Level 7. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't know about another event prior to Halloween, but I did ask about Dragon Festival.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The teams are so busy, I don't know if it will be/is possible, though.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The next Dev Update will be published on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Sorry, I don't have magical dev powers, so I cannot create sigils or other things. :(

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I think that you'll agree that while cape clipping is a little irritating, it's not as important as game updates.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The update will include skill update notes and some details about them, as well as other comments.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I mean, "fix clipping or balance skills or add content?" You can see the priority list there. :D

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' About Trade Spam: I'm glad you asked.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I've been exchanging emails with Mike O'Brien this weekend on this verv topic.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We realize that trade spam is a growing problem, and we are going to start taking action in support of the RofC.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' That's "Rules of Conduct." And the RoC does not allow spamming.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Now, in truth, trade spam in the Trade Channel will be fine. But trade spam in All Chat? Nope.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No date for GW:EN yet. Soon, I'd say!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I mean a date soon, I don't necessarily mean release. 3rd Qtr: July 1 - Sept 30.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' That frog with a sword is most likely one of the Froggie-hated Heket. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If a Gwen-related item doesn't drop any more, I am sure we won't make it required for gameplay.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Whether we will use our shreds, broken flutes, etc I don't know yet.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We will not have an auction house for GW:EN, I am sorry.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If a Gwen-related item doesn't drop any more, I am sure we won't make it required for gameplay.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Whether we will use our shreds, broken flutes, etc I don't know yet.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We will not have an auction house for GW:EN, I am sorry.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We know you would like one, but we need to focus on release, and on building the best, deepest game possible.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We are working on other elements of the website, so a website-based trade function isn't coming in the near future.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' It's a nice Idea — I'll ask about that long-range.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Inscribable weapons — no word at present, sorry

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The loot scaling change has been a very positive step. More players are doing well than ever before.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I can ask about an in-game browser for the wiki, but I don't think I've heard of that being on the list.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We have not released a preorder package for GW:EN yet.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I love that you want to preorder the game, but you _may_ want to wait until the preorder package is out there. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh, wait, maybe I wasn't supposed to mention a preorder package, hmmmm?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Last I read, yes, there would be 10 new heroes for GW:EN. Did you guys read the same?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't _think_ that monsters will drop armour in GW2 (certainly not in GW:EN). I can ask about that.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Colletors Editions of older version of the game cannot/will not be offered.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Collectors, sorry

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' However, I do wonder if there is an opportunity for some sort of cool "retrospective" offering.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' That's up to our good sales and marketing teams, though. If such a thing happened, it would not...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' ... contain the elements of the original CE's.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Money title? Sounds cheesable, doesn't it? "Get your guild to give you all their money to hold, get credit, ca-ching.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Maybe not, it just flew into my brain there. Just like deaths is a poor title option. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Level Cap = Unknown for GW2.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Ahhh, money earned! Like honestly earned' I can sure ask!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I love the idea of an XP title, personally. I don't have the chance of getting one, but you guys who do, I'd love it!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Oh, honestly earned, like drops, not possibly cheesed with "loan me some gold." :D

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Admin Johann does not work for ArenaNet, and hasn't for some months.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' He was a contractor, but isn't on the staff now. (I like him a ton!)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I am female. 108/f/Washington state.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' This is 15K. from Granite Citadel. Friends helped me attain this.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Yes, I can tell you there are 10 Sunspear PvE-only skills coming VERY soon.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' There are other skills coming, and changes to many existing skills.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We'll ahve notes for you in the Dev Update — look for that about Noon on Tuesday, I hope. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No word on guild storage, sorry. It may be something on the list for GW2, let me check on that.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' No preview date for GW:EN. Well, actually... ummm.. never mind. Let me get more info so I...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' ... can share it. I want to make sure we have something accurate for you guys. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I have read over the months about desires to have different levels of guild officer abilities.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And I know the designers are very aware of that wish

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I would assume they'll consider that for GW2.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' If you need help linking an account, you could try writing Support. I know they'll try to help.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' As far as I know, GW:EN will not introduce guild storage, no.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Ahhh, that's a very good question: Will there be other XPs or other updates prior to GW2?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And honestly, I don't know that. I'm not sure that we could create an XP... the team will be so busy!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' On the other hand, what if GW:EN did so very well, and what if the team said, "Let's do another XP?"

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I'm all for it. I love new content and new challenges. :D

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' That frog-like creature in the GW:EN pages is probably one of those blasted heket.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' The changes that you saw in some skill text was, I think experimental. I don't know that it will roll that way.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Froggie says hello when Froggie is here. I guess he's a no-show. :)

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't have Uber CM Powers of Doom. Can't spawn stuff or anything like that.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I can, however, lead a very find conga, which I should do now since I have to go out soon.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' But please share the word, will you? Please tell people that we will be starting to enfore the ...

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' ... "No trade spam in All Chat" in the VERY near future.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I don't want anyone to get a block, but we HAVE to get this under control.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' We have a channel completely dedicated to trade — use itl :D:D

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' So, conga?

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' Click me and hit space bar. Oh, and remember, since I am driving, I cannot type answers.

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' But first....

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' I hope you guys have a greate rest of your Sunday!

'''''Gaile Gray:''''' And I'll see you sometime this week, maybe after you've had a chance to read the Dev Update. :D
