Guild Wars 2

It shouldn’t be too hard to make all audio files customizable, right? I absolutely hate my warrior’s combat voice, and some audio effects like waterfalls, all hit sound effects, footsteps, etc. sound just horrible. Actually if I had to say, GW2 has the worst sound effects and propably the worst audio engine I’ve ever heard in any game. Not trying to offend sound designers, just being honest.

Customizability is also one of the things that make things popular nowadays. Whether it’s UI, sounds, textures, or something else, players like to edit it to match their liking. I’m sure GW2 would have significantly more players if you allowed us to edit these things. If you’re worried about some players having an advantage over others, then you should just disable customization in competitive game modes. You could do this by adding a separate folder for mods, no original files would need to be replaced so you could switch between them at any time.
