Guild Wars 2

Let’s take a look at what happened so far in the world of fixing bugs, exploits and game breaking issues by the example of Dungeons and Cooking:

ANET: “Dungeons are only for the very skilled and organized elite players not for PUG’s”

Dungeons are way too easy because the mechanic used to slow people down are a laugh. A good group can clear most of them under 45 minutes. Some can be cleared in less than 30 minutes.

1. Enter Panic Mode.
2. Ignore the Exploits and the fact that dungeons are not hard.
3. Let’s give less experience and money.
4. kitten! That did not fix anything.
5. Ok, let’s ignore the Exploits and dungeon design again and start coding a DR system from scratch in a week!
6. What happened? The DR system full of bugs and people hate it?
7. FAIL

ANET: “Cooking is the most expensive and hardest profession of them all”

That was a good laugh, clearly it was never tested or the person that made this statement has either never looked at cooking or should be fired immediately.

1. Enter Panic Mode
2. Let’s put all these cooking ingredients into loot bags!
3. kitten this did not fix anything, the stuff now costs 1c and cooking is even easier!
4. Let’s ignore the real reason and put in a temporary time limited recipe to get rid of the oveflow!
5. Ok, cool, let’s remove the recipe.
6. kitten! Less than 48 hours and the prices are at 1c again!
7. Goto 4

It’s really funny watching them trying to win an uphill battle by making really bad decisions. People on these forums have pointed out on many occasions how these will fail and offered valuable insight and solution. Guess what? They got ignored.

Good luck with ever getting back out of this whole you dug yourself into.
