Hello, please allow me to tell the story of my bonsai tree. When I was 12 I asked my parents for a bonsai tree, which I eventually got. I quickly grew very fond of this little shrub and spent time with it every day making sure it had enough water and nutrient, and I would ensure my cat would not attack it. Fast forward a few months after I got it, and we were going on vacation for 3 weeks. I left my beloved bonsai in the care of my sister, but when I got home I discovered she had completely forgotten about my miniature tree and it was now dead.

I spent the next years in and out of institutions never fully recovering. Just writing this has made me crack up a little as I think about the great trauma I was inflicted as a kid. It wasn’t really until I found this game I finally felt like the pieces of the puzzle finally fell into place. Not only were plants considered a legitimate race, you could even play as one! Sadly in the last months this game has managed to hit closer and closer to home, and I feel like I’m drifting into a shaky state of mind again.

PvE is now plant holocaust, and plants are depicted as the bad guys. Your objective is always to kill the evil tree people, just like my sister slayed my sapling through sheer neglect. If I go to PvP or WvW, sylvari are more popular than ever, and their constant deaths are almost unbearable. I don’t feel like playing this game anymore.

Please consider people who had bad experiences regarding plants, Anet. The stress inflicted on me from just opening up your game is horrifying. Thank you for your attention.

I would advise not to play plants vs zombies.

Snip.

Well think of it this way, the plants everywhere are facing great danger and corruption by mordremoth, it will be your role, as a man-plant-bonzai hero to save the day and bring the corruption down so all the plants can finally break free from mordremoth, discover the meaning of a new life and live happily ever after in a beautiful plant world with double rainbows and plant hugs.
