Guild Wars 2

First of all I understand some people are going to scream because they have this fear that the game will be taken over by kittens, but I think the option of Account/Parental Controls would be great.

Here’s why I’d support it:
My brother-in-law is suffering from Aspergers (light/mild Autism) and I’d like to do my part to help him enjoy life. He can drive, work, etc, but as many families with Autistic family members know, depression can be a serious hindrance to their life.

Video games have shown to help people that suffer from this disorder so I’d like to give it a try. My main concern is that account management might be needed to avoid addiction and possibly extra/ridiculas charges from the Trading Post.

I know we block access via the authenticator, but once it’s unlocked that Trading Post could be a serious problem.

Anyways that’s my 2 silvers.

This really needs some serious attention by the game designers and should have been implemented from the start. Gaming addiction is a very serious thing now days and sure everyone has full self control of all their actions especially when it comes to really fun things like video games right? ….Obviously not.

Recently my thoughts have been shifted to reinstalling and paying for my monthly World of Warcraft subscription simply due to Blizzard having parental controls on their game. This is very sad simply because Guild Wars 2 is such an amazing game and far better designed yet they cant come up with a simple account setting which limits game time like World of Warcraft has done for years.

With Guild Wars 2 being such a far better game it is hence forth going to be MORE addictive and harder to stop playing. Please add a feature to the account so that you can limit your play time. Show up World of Warcraft even more! Last night while doing a little trial of Mists of Pandaria I seen at least a dozen servers that were in “FULL” status. This meaning that they still hold a gigantic number of subscribers which is truly nuts considering how much better of a game GW2 is. Parental controls would really help loads of parents feel comfortable about bringing their children to GW2 for a much more fun healthy game.
