…And the search feature does not work.
…We don’t have an Ignore feature.
…The last forum update was almost 5 months ago.
…The forum is still as barebones as it was during release.
…We still get crippling bugs even without having forum updates (see the latest one, the “500 Internal Server Error”).
…Moderation is very scarce, in that they rarely see a post if it’s not reported. Whenever a post is deleted, moderators NEVER bother looking at the rest of the topic to delete posts that were quoting it, so effectively it’s as if the post had not been deleted in the first place.
I really wish ArenaNet had not bothered with official forums for Guild Wars 2, and had kept the “fansite forums only” policy from the original Guild Wars. Having a forum that they don’t want to invest in doesn’t really cut it.
“I think that players are starting to mature past the point of wanting to be on that
treadmill, of being in that obvious pattern of every time I catch up you are going to
put another carrot in front of me” – Mike O’Brien right before Ascended weapons
Too busy releasing buggy content and trying to take your money in the Gem Shop. Leave them alone, bully

Don’t support the Gem Shop, it’s that easy.
