Guild Wars 2

I’ll start off by saying this is not a rant, just a suggestions that would bring ease to the
community and probably to A-net. This can even start as a voluntary project.

(*CD = Community Developer/Helper)

1. How?

-Lets the community choose who would represent them and of course a-net needs to see that this person is fit for the job.

The community helper will be the one that would actually take things worth mentioning and bring the word to A-net itself, if they have the time to listen of course. This would also be monitored and if a ‘’community worker’’ would get a rapid increase in unhappiness of your customers, this position and the power granted by it could be easily removed.

2. Why?

I have this feeling that the community is left out and should be informed more of what a-net is planning. There are also things that we really want to know what are you planning to do with current problems of the game the effect the majority and/or the minority of us?

So in a way, this could the middle man that decides what thing should be discussed about Guild Wars 2 developers. CD would provide info to the Devs from the community and vice versa. Of course these things the CD would have to monitor and see which would be accepted into the game that would make everyone happy, or as much as possible people happy.

Here are some examples are that people are not sure a-net will address and some feel should be addressed quickly.:

• Colorblind people cannot see the red circles because the poor choice of the type of colors or the palette of colors. The only reply so far has been ‘’we will look into it’’
• Some people want more emotes, fixed and added animations etc.
• Dynamic events and instances suffer from bugs or too high difficulty or annoying tactics like in CoF; Mass suicide where 2 run and and 3 stay out only to wait to run into their death.
• Reasons behind weird updates such as: unableness to preview armor sets you cannot use. (If medium, cannot preview Light/Heavy)
• In case of emergencies (hacking, server crash or other such incidents) this person could keep up in track and the rest of the group can focus on fixing the problem itself.

Also this can be an easy way to make community competitions and other fun stuff that would keep the community happy. I mean it would be cool if devs would comment on players ideas for new potential professions, maybe not add them just add but just comment what do they think and such.

Of course this can all be easily done if the dear devs would simply give this job to someone that could actually work with them. This would be awesome since then the CD could provide us with information quickly and with the limits they want to of course.

This would result in a much more happy community since the suggestions on this forums feel like they are been done for nothing.

Also i do not promote myself for this position but if there is a possibility, i will put myself out there.

Now, that’s exactly what I wanted to do.

I play GW2 since first beta events and I really love this game.
But it really bothers me, that there is no communication between ANet and it’s costumers.

If it wasn’t for my “Vorabitur” which I finished yesterday, I would’ve already applied for this job.

What would I do?

Reading through the forums and reddit and all these sites.
I’d also open up a new E-Mail account for players to directly write to me and tell me about major problems.
I’d try and speak to ANet devs, so that I can inform you, the community, about changes that might or might not happen and if it’ll take a short time or a long time for ANet to implement it.
And I’d try to prevent changes like this armor preview one. I think it just took away some fun and possibilities. To preview all of the cultural armor sets now, we have to create 15 characters. (Light, medium, heavy — each race)

So, I was about to write at ANet anyways. I’d be glad if some of you people would support me, so I know, that the community it’s own side!
