WvW, a Pulp Fiction story:
[i]«Once upon a time happens in WvW: some guilds organize GvG matches down by the windmill in the southern part of the borderlands maps where they can be out of the way. Some people don’t like GvG and think it goes against the concept of WvW (which it does technically, but without a real GvG mode there’s no better choice for how to have these matchups). It’s just a bit of fun to see how your guild stands up to another one and to practice field tactics.
At that time, angry words were exchanged, starting by the guild leader in face of the threat of been possible punished by something done by many guilds before, while the Developer (aka GM, aka Anet employee) says that the players participating in the GvG were “ruining his game mode,” or something to that effect. Players posted video and screenshots detailing the event, issue gets blown out of proportion, and Arena Net releases 1 statement apologizing for the actions of their employee. It ends here, but the angry mob still go on with the throwing stones in an endless thread …. until there were no more stones at cobalt streets anymore, then they realize there wasn’t either a target anymore, only Silence could be hear crying in the mists and then the drama finally stop to exists, exception to echo, which this post is part of it!»[/i]
Wonder today if people realize this Developer (aka GM, aka Anet employee, some rumors says it was Devon Carver, not sure but knowing Devon don’t post anything in last 10 days, but Carver could be in vacations, still the name doesn’t matter for this pulp fiction) deserve all that drama and the tons of stones he had to hang on after all the dedication he putted in the World x World upgrades including by playing in some NA servers (when you come to Europe? I’m sure language is no problem for 95% of us can express in English … well, trolls don’t, but same happens in America LOL). Yes, some proposal changes in WxW were terrible experiences and they should step back (shhhh I don’t dare to mention Bloodlust, it’s cursed) and not been too much proud to go ahead in face of the cliff (thought this only happens when in WvW people following blue hats, but it’s ok if you assume it is part of human nature), but on the other hand many others experiences were very welcome by the community and representing fresh air to the game play, this considering the game is a living MMO and developers are also humans like all of us, they are under pressure of results and trying to know what is the meaning of life)!
Wonder if the Developers (and Arena Net employees) know that less 10% of the players base come to official forum to read and maybe express themselves and the majority is a silence mob who enjoy a lot the Halloween + Winterdays events, for example and are to busy having fun to distinguishing the success and failures of devs, as long they are occupied with a great MMO game with a living story. So don’t be sad if sometimes a few people decides to throw on you some frustration (they represent less than 10% of players, where there is strong evidences the rest who don’t come here, or are happy with the game or are zombies), keep in mind this is a part of humans societies when those who comes out of the anonymous crowd are in the focus of lights, there will be always the easy i
Wonder if people realize how hard is their job, while we as players just wanted the perfect game when we arrive at Home to play after doing our duties in so many forms. Because, once the entire community have a face (Devon Carver, either he on vacations or was put aside) to throw it all the joys, opinions and complains but now no longer have the familiar face to claim advantages for any aspect of WvW peculiar game mode, just the commercial standards remains…. What of a waste of resources for ALL!
In resume, we need “familiar” face feeback from Arena net for our issues as the game needs Guild X Guild as part of World x World, where PvE + PvP are added to the equation to be the good trilogy of success of Guild Wars 2.
What about me? Well, I’m the naïf guy (aka MMO noob) who is waiting for Halloween event while doing dailies, read some stuff meanwhile and wish you all the best in a thousand moments covered with tons of fun … plus Good Games!
