Guild Wars 2

Disclaimer: Let me just say this this is just my own personal opinion. I am not speaking for any large group of people/guild/etc. I am not looking for a rally to get behind me. I just need to vent because this QQ is driving me nuts. If the devs decide to kill this post I won’t get butthurt. Just sayin.’

Anywho, I think the team here at Arenanet has been doing a pretty kitten good job. The support is speedy and the staff is friendly. This game is fun as hell. Are there problems with certain things? Yes, yes there is. There is no denying that.

My current problem is that it seems like if people cry enough the devs bow and change things to make people happy. Sometimes this is justified and sometimes people just want things handed to them.

We all know the state of the game and it’s elements. I am just worried that this will become a trend. Complain about something enough and BOOM they change it to make the masses happy. You know what that sounds like to me? Giving a toddler his pacifier to make him stop crying even though you need to ween them off it. Sometimes you just have to say no. This is how it is and how it’s going to be.

Current examples obviously include the Halloween event. People complain about the skins and they made them easier to get in various ways. People complained about the drop rates from the BLCs. That was modified as well. Still wasn’t good enough. No, these things don’t guarantee you get one but would you really want the stuff if everyone had one? Maybe yes, maybe no but I’m willing to bet that not nearly as many would care about the cosmetics if they were common. These pieces aren’t game changers. Now the new villain is the event jumping puzzle. Hell yea that thing is hard. I still haven’t completed it either and I probably won’t because I suck at jumping puzzles. But, eventually you just have to say no. Enough. Same with the weapon skins. Do I want one? Yes I do. But if I don’t get one on a drop or farm the mats it’s not a game killer.

The moral of the story is stop riding the devs so hard over trivial crap. You aren’t going to lose a boss fight because you don’t have some achievement or some sexy skin on your weapon. You’ll lose because you did it wrong. It’s not complicated.

Not when some idiotic costumer opinion affects the others. You can’t please everyone.
