Guild Wars 2

Its a disgrace and no devs actually read it.

This has been anecdotally proven.

It gives the players false hope to cling to. Some argue that it can do more harm than good.

Expect this thread to be closed soon. Just sayin :/

They read pretty much everything, as has been pointed out many times. It’s posting that they don’t do often, and that’s as it should be.

These forums are not a direct customer-service line to the development staff. They have work to do, and don’t owe us direct answers to all our petty questions. We are not entitled to have them publicly agree or argue with us over all the details of their work.

But the sPvP forums are? They don’t seem to have any trouble interacting with the playerbase over there.

Not sure why you would want glory/rank/reward discussion or changes posted in this forum. The last 2 topics I seen them talk about in just sPvP was perplexity runes, decap engi, pistol whip don’t really see a problem with posts in that forum about those things.

You missed the point. Players raise concerns and ANet responds to those concerns and have actual dialog and debate with the players on the sPvP forums. Changes are coming and ANet jumps through hoops to go over those changes in exacting detail with the players on the sPvP forum.

We have a Ranger CDI thread and only Allie could be bothered to respond to it? And even she shows an enormous lack of interest in covering it?

There’s a great disparity between the amount of feedback and interaction player’s receive outside of the sPvP forums and it’s starting to show in other areas of the game and how very little real progress is ever made.

Hmm I wouldn’t agree there about “other areas of the game” they might not come in here often and into the sPvP section a little bit more then here. There are usually daily red post all over the forums on a daily basis they just might not be where you want them to be sometimes they are on the weekend.

I check the dev tracker daily so I can’t agree with “other areas of the game”.

Most of these are balance threads saying the same thing just differently. It’s a gathering of many of the QQ threads from the profession forums. You come in this forum to respond to anything it’s about balance. You say anything about balance on 1 class then the other 7 classes say you don’t care about them. Not saying that deters them from posting it probably doesn’t but posting about it probably doesn’t get them much information either. Anytime a Red Posts in here it turns into a hotbed in here.

The Ranger CDI I agree could have used a bit more feedback I wasn’t really invested in it since I don’t have a ranger. They didn’t respond as much as Chris in the other CDI’s but I think even Chris stated that would be the case. If Chris dealt with actual balance or was apart of that team you probably would get alot of responses but that’s not his area from my understanding.

It’s not that the devs rarely post in this forum, it’s that ANet continuously shows no love for the runt of their profession litter.
