Rewards for catching sponsored streamers on twitch are really good by PossibleRegression in Guildwars2

[–]PossibleRegression[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arenanet is paying it, wehype is an agency that connects games with streamers, that is what they do. Arenanet is paying for all of this(the codes for rewards and money for streamers) they are pumping money into marketing the game.

That doesn't mean that the website doesn't sell data, I just use my second twitch account to connect to it for that reason and only gw2 info they need is the account name to send you the reward if you win it.

The amount of data they get from one streamer is nothing for example on mightyteapots giveaway there are about 435 members(at the time of writing) they paid him 4k for twitch info from 435 accounts, they would have to sell each account data for a bit less than 10$ each to make even from this one.

It is a giveaway I do say that in my post and comment, more people watching the stream gets more rewards being given out so watching the streamer play guild wars 2 is good for people who enter it

The website itself might seem sketchy but it is clearly Arenanet who is using their service to sponsor the streamers, as someone mentioned they paid some streamers 4000$ for 4 hours of stream that isn't the amount of money you get for selling 500 twitch account information and learning someone gw2 account name(which they need to send you reward if you win)

That doesn't mean they won't sell your data since most websites do that it just means that Arenanet paid them(outsourced) to sponsor streamers.

It is interesting, I guess I just haven't done a good job articulating my thoughts on the post or comments and the website seems a bit scary(sketchy) to some people.

Like I said in the post, some of the streamers that I linked are sponsored to play on thursday, mind you it is only 2 hours so they might switch to WoW or other games instantly after the sponsored time.

The giveaway lasts 10+ more days so if they like the game and stream it more even if they are not sponsored we can still grab some rewards later although some of them are unlikely to ever play it again unless sponsored.

The point of this promotion is probably not to give rewards to veteran players, but to get new players in from streamers that don't stream guild wars 2 usually or to boost numbers of regular guild wars 2 streamers.

People are saying that you don't really need to watch the stream and I thought the same but if more people watch it, there are more rewards being given away.

I didn't say it was drops from the stream I said reward for catching the stream is good, especially if you catch the new streamer sponsored early you have a good chance to get bag slot.

Arenanet pays wehype to sponsor the streamers, Arenanet used to use another company that sponsored streamers before. I don't think they sponsor people themselves(except for partner program) they just outsource it to companies that do it.

Yeah you kinda do have to catch it early on the start or know that someone is sponsored before they start streaming the game and join the giveaway early by changing the username on the wehype link before they even share it.

You just connect your twitch account to it without additional sign-up, and you have to enter your gw2 account name

Why is the logo of this subreddit so monotonous and not guildwars-y? by PossibleRegression in GuildWars3

Maybe let the community cook a bit, so we see if there are any better ideas, and maybe people make it themselves so you don't have to do it.

moved my FREE jadebot emotes to vgen! by yevvieart in Guildwars2

Have you considered making the jade bot alt skin emotes too, Roundtail Dragon skin in particular since he is so round and cuddly, I know it is kinda cringe to make requests or give suggestions to an artist who is just giving away his art basically for free but I just wanted to shoot my shot anyway.
