Understand the topic.
I am trying to understand why there are no fixes for profession bug’s, does anyone have suggestions on why they are not fixed yet?
Set the stage.
About a year ago i ran into some weird bug’s considering several professions, i went to the mists as many other players do, to test if the mechanics that seemed to not be working the way they were described in tooltips. me and most people testing these things came to the conclusion the mechanics, skills and traits were indeed bugged, or ill described.
Provide details.
It was a saturday night in the mists, i was wearing my négligée and spandex pink haltertop with mathing wig when i discovered these profession breaking bug’s involving the mechanics of several professions. after that experience i went to look for likeminded people so i went to the subforums and found i wasn’t original in my findings (thank god i still was looking awesome behind my pc with my wig, and spandex) in fact everyone was copying me! almost all posts i found had something to do with broken traits, mechanics and professions skills. So i started to brownnose several dev’s and community leareds to jump into action.. unfortunately all it got me was a brown nose.. So i started to praise anet in the hopes that they would pay attention , but unfortunately they were to busy taking advice of the few people who attended PAX and were trying to improve their gameplay trough it.
Find the balance between logic and emotion.
I LOVE THIS GAME BUT I HATE IT! NO LISTEN TO ME!
After some discussions on these subforums i found that the best way to win an argument is to write: “Lalalalalalalalalallalalalallaa i cant hear you!” and blatently ignore any reasonable suggestions made by people who spend quite some time trying to figure out what is broken.
So i figured after getting my brown nose that negative attention, is attention too!
- Get to the root.*
After some soul searching and some honest talking back and forth in the mirror i found that it’s not me that is the problem. But the structure and way in wich priorities are given to the people who try to make the game run smooth and put out their best efford in a demanding fastpaced and stressfull environment. That i contributed to the demanding environement is no problem to me. (since i have matching spandex and wig)
Whenever possible, try to locate the core issue
I tried to find the core issue, but my gps keeps messing up due to all sorts of new content and mechanics being added to the base on wich i made my previous findings.
So the stacking of broken things on top of a broken thing that is broken made me a little sad .. So why am i sad? let’s get to the core of this.. I am sad that such an incredible game with huge potential is being underappreciated by it’s players not because they don’t like the content, or because they don’t like the concept. It’s because they run into things that should not be in the game or should have been in the game and working. No spandex or négligée can bring comfort to that thought.
Provide well thought-out suggestions.
So i spend my time watching the mirror and talking to myself trying to come up with some solutions. and did what was in my power to be heared.. I made emotional plea’s to try and fix things, I walked up to complete strangers and shouted FIX THINGS hoping they would appreciate my concerns, I even stooped so low as to try and bribe Grouch with spandex and cookies.. he send the cookies back unfortunately without even a note on how he likes the spandex. So i came to the conclusion that the people who work their kitten off trying to give us the best game experience possible like spandex.
Think first: is your suggestion awesome?
I believe the general opinon of every player is that indeed there is a issue on how certain things are prioritized and that spandex is indeed the way to go when it comes to fixing certain area’s of concern.
Provide alternatives.
As an alternative to the solution i would suggest a fabric without chemical sensitivity, Spandex, even though awesome has it’s downsides hence i would suggest cottonique for those with a sensitive skin. other then that i would suggest a helping hand to those who are working hard trying to catch up to the long list of bugged mechanics. we know you are there, you just never write us, no christmas card, no seasons update on your progress nothing..
Thank you for understanding..
