Guild Wars 2

Please lets not change the subject about how other mmos have them and this one should NOT just for that reason.

A ptr serves the porpouse to test major changes in a game, if Anet has been successfull, then the company must attend matter like this seriously if they want to MAINTAIN the audiance.

We all know that for mmos is not about how well you have sold the game, its how well you can maintain it. its ovious that the Black Lion Trade is the way to go to maintain GW2 but if you lack the Player DB, Its not going to work. And if your client (the game) was not made to be handled by PTR then someone failed in the long view of making this game better.

I think you know that allready (anet), you guys are smart and you dont need me to tell you how to run your bussiness, but with all the drama (and this drama is broaden due to the popularity of the game) it is time to adquire with the money earned some PTR severs so nextime you take out a patch to live, you have less danger regarding to losing that player database, wich in the long run is and will be the blood to sustain such great game.

Points of my view of how i see things for Anet

1.- Dont make the mistake to be Prepotent and Narrow minded:
You (anet) din’t make this game out of that piece of mind. Taking some parts of another mmo doenst make your game weak or anything the like, you have a complished another breed of mmo, keep it that way, but ideas from other mmos are needed even if its gonna hurt your ego.

2.- I guess now u all know (anet) that making changes without proper information about it prior launch, can make you clients (We the people we spend those $60) angry, well its natural, you gotta maintain us entertained but in a fun way, that is your job, our was to consume your product with the labor of our on personal work.

3.- We (and i mean the majority of us) play games because is fun, nor a chore, please keep that in mind, everytime you make a change, be truthfull to yourselfs (the developers) ask yourselfs this wen you make a change

1.- is this fun?
2.- will doing x be rewarding?
3.- put yourself in the segmentated areas of targeted people:
its seems its divided like this

A. HARDCORE / B.CASUAL-HARDCORE / C.-CASUAL

so everytime you ask yourself the questions above, youve got to think about those 3 targeted people, and WHO? of those is your main sustain to make them happy.

For the sake of the game you cant deny the large part of the comunity that sustains your business, cuz thats just plain foolishness from your part.

Well that is my point of view, i hope my cristissim goes throgh with the best wishes to gw2 team.

Ps: Please above all, keep the fun in games, its all you really need.
