No, i not assuming anything....actually, I am. I am assuming that when someone puts in an application for this type of event/gathering, they have the intention to attend. Instead, in THIS instance, someone put in an application for the fun of it, knew they couldn't attend because of the cost and are now coming to the forums, the community, to find out how they can pay for the cost to go to something that they KNEW they wouldn't be able to attend because of the cost.
If this guy goes....more power to him. I would like to see him go because he was accepted. If he can't go, he needs to email Bioware and let them know so that those (not just me) that were put on a wait list could go and have a great time, learn a little about the game and get some valuable information.
I have presented my thoughts on this in an objective manner. I stated why i was not happy with the OP, i stated that even tho he and i may have the same concerns, desires, or needs to go to the guild summit, he had NO intention of going and therefore may have taken a spot for someone/guild that could go.
Not quite sure what the learning experience is other than if you can't make it across the world to go to a guild summit then you shouldn't apply for it and take the few spots available to some that could actually go.
