artsnletters.6314 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 I had an email come in at 8:20 PM yesterday. Clicked the link today at 4:30 PM. Got a message the survey is "not currently active." Less than 24 hours later?? body of email: "Listening to our community is vital to making Guild Wars 2. We'd appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to fill out a short survey. This survey is an opportunity to influence our development process—your opinions will go straight to the ArenaNet team. You've been individually selected for this mission, so please don't forward the invitation to anyone else. This is your chance to be heard and to help us make Guild Wars 2 the best game it can be." Send me another! You've inspired even more opinions I'd like to share now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teratus.2859 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Sounds suspicious.. I am not aware of Anet doing anything like this so be careful in case it's some kind of spam or phishing email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same.. not to mention the years I played Gw1 before Gw2 as well and I don't recall ever getting mail like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do send out surveys occasionally. There was one I know of last July as I received it and it had the same wording. Here is a thread with similar concerns from that time frame. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/81279/received-guildwars-secret-survey-to-my-email But if you are concerned you can always contact support or just ignore the survey.

They're sent randomly to people who are signed up for the newsletter. Here's a very old sample: http://newsletters.ncsoft.com/emp/gw2/announcement/2012-11-21/na.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But myself and others were simply trying to answer posts from those questioning the legitimacy of such surveys. I agree if you had less than 24 hours to respond to the survey maybe that should be looked at by Anet. After all not everyone reads all their email within 24 hours myself included. I don't remember the amount of time between when I got the survey request email several months ago and when I completed the survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
