The price for the game wouldn't be much different from what you might spend on a sweater or other gift anyway. It would act as a "thank you" to all the awesome updates recently and also help draw in a few new players into the game. Not to forget, it could be a gift that could last for many years!
At the same time, it's a nice gesture to reward them more directly. Buying GW1 game and give away wouldn't have any noticable effect on rewarding our favorite staff, so there's that. Personally though I think we should keep in mind that a healthy GW1 have an influx of new players, and so please consider it next time you contemplating on what to give someone for their birthday. And if you like this idea, be sure to spread it to others.
