ZioMick.2341 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Could ArenaNET make players aware of the Coronavirus pandemic by creating a free outfit, as has been done recently for other initiatives, with the hashtag **#STAYATHOME**? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An excellent idea! They are just beginning to take it seriously in my area (South Central USA) and folks are still struggling with the concept of #STAYATHOME. A hazmat suit also sounds like an excellent idea, very appropriate to this moment. I've also been concerned about the Anet folks themselves as Washington state is one of the epicenters in the U.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZioMick.2341 Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 Here in Italy it's taken quite seriously... I'm from Venice and I exit from home once a week to buy some food and medicine (if needed). By luck, as a software developer, I can work from home (smart working), but many can't. Take it seriously... Stay at home while you can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombyturtle.5980 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Nothankyou. I think there is more than enough awareness considering its all over the news 24/7 and I definitly dont want it in a place i go to get away from all the hysteria.

Turkeyspit.3965 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 We're just about to get new content added to the game, but anything else ANET could do to entice people to stay home and play video games would be doing the world a service. Extra XP, magic find, whatever. Don't let your kids know, but yeah, staying home and playing video games is a very healthy choice at the moment.

Dami.5046 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 While I understand the logic and the fact that people 'joke to cope' aswell, GW2 is an escape from it all atm. Having reminders, even characters names isn't helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, the game is an escape from reality, no need to bring reality, even misguided reality, into the game...don't stay at home is my motto.

ZioMick.2341 Posted March 17, 2020 Author Share Posted March 17, 2020 misguided reality? don't stay at home? I wish you a lot of luck... Anyway... probably yes.... it's not opportune to bring Covid-19 awareness into the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleuren.3874 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Awareness? Surely most are well aware of it now.. Not really sure it's an opportunity, nor the right time for free stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arden.7480 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I'm not sure... why would that be any important when we are being hit by informations about it from all over, we need no awareness anymore, we needed it back in the end of 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanok.3027 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I swear, people are making it sound like this thing is killing people by the millions when the mortality rate is low. Guess people need to panic about anything and bring awareness to it. Hey, here's a suggestion: let's raise awareness for cancer instead! It kills millions per year and yet no one is panicking over that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that, that most of the fatalities are the elderly and people with compromised immune systems. I can't visit my grandma, though, and I really want to.

Zeivu.3615 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 It's all over the media: Even youtube! Can I please not see it here too?

Ashen.2907 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Any excuse to ask for free stuff right? How about, "I would pay $$$ for a hazmat suit outfit in order to raise awareness of something that everyone on the planet has been news bombarded with for weeks."

The Greyhawk.9107 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020  Seriously who **hasn't** been inundated with constant news and advice and closings and government restrictions, not to mention half empty grocery stores, near to the point of a full fledged panic?! My state is one of the many that has prohibited dine-in at restaurants, as well as other types of establishments. **Can I have a fricking break from this kitten, PLEASE?** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
