Everyone has the right to complain. The problem is that many of those who do complain, do so in a hateful and accusatory manner. What is worse, is that most of what they complain about is an ill informed perception of what they think a problem is, without any real knowledge of it.

fresh start, eaither a new member or a 2 years members starts a new class and will have easier life lvling

Yeah, easier time leveling with traits shoved back past level 30, ridiculous ways to get them when they finally do unlock, weapon swap pushed back to level 15, utilities delayed to much later levels…

But hey, I’ll get a few more drops that can be used by my profession. Which will probably be outclassed by the cheap greens I normally buy on the TP every five to 10 levels anyway.

all you 12 year old cry babys are ungreatfull

Ungrateful? Because ArenaNet is adding stuff out of the goodness of their hearts and not turning a profit, right?

I’m not saying they shouldn’t. I’m saying they should, and that this is a business relationship between them and the player base. No one has a need to be “grateful”, except maybe ArenaNet when someone sends them cupcakes.

In fact, any good business hopes that people complain before they take their business elsewhere. Complaining customers are much better than customers who choose to no longer be customers.

Too bad most of those stuff I paid for should’ve been included in the game before I got tired of it

But what really bothers me is the lack of rewards. There’s a difference why I play Diablo until I get tired, take a break and come back, and GW2, that I played until I got tired and I don’t want to install this game anymore

If you haven’t figured out, it’s because WvW has terrible rewards, dungeons have terrible rewards. What I enjoy doing does not make me want to play more and more, while a bunch of people mindlessly kill bosses somewhere and get more than I do

The game was getting better and better, but problems were appearing and some stuff has not been fixed, and the ones that were are now blocked by a RNG wall, and no one likes that
Makes me feel that I wasted $60 now

Thanks for your feedback. Note that putting other players in categories (and ones that could be offensive) does not help get your message through. While players tend to group around topics, it’s what they say that matters.

A lot of players have expressed positive feedback in threads about particular feature announcements. Other threads and posts are more critical of features or aspects of the game, and it’s exactly why we have forums. A lot of developers read posts every day and we often relay some of the high-level feedback to developers.

We respect all opinions as long as they are expressed respectfully and this is a condition for having healthy discussions on the forums.

Look, just because Anet doesn’t recall millions of minis for stuck throttles doesn’t mean we have no right to complain.

If nobody complained about the game it would mean the game is perfect and there would never be a need for improvements and/or additional stuff added to the game.

I spent $150 total on gems for the month of August. Despite the millions of threads complaining about the silver fed salvage o matic I bought it anyway and I have no regrets.

you dont have rights to complain!

We don’t have any “right” to complain, using Anet’s software (such as their forums). But Anet gladly gives us the ability to complain using their software, as long as we are respectful.

Because without feedback, good and bad, they are flying blind. Without it, they may just crash into the ocean and mess up your fun. So if you don’t like the attitudes that go along with people trying to let the pilots know what is outside the plane and where it is going, then I suggest you let the rest of us continue to help them navigate and enjoy your flight.

In other words, if you don’t want to deal with the darker side of feedback, I suggest you keep your forum reading to a minimum.

Or words to that effect.

It’s kind of hard to take the OP seriously when the argument being put forward can’t be laid out in a more well-thought-out and properly-spelt manner. Don’t care if English isn’t your first language, that’s not the way to get the message through. My internal-autocorrect was going nuts trying to make heads or tails of the OP.

For once, I find myself actually agreeing with a red post.

austeypoo, thread-hijacking isn’t the way either. You want some attention from people who make the game, post in the correct forum. You should be in the Technical section or putting through a support ticket, not General Discussion to get your message through.

uhm actually yes we do have the right to complain you see there’s this thing called the customer/company relationship, it’s part of the design that this is a product and the product should reflect exactly what the producer is advertising.

you obviously haven’t read much in the way of complaints because I for one have made multiple thank yous for many of the updates I’m seeing coming down the line. I’m regaining hope again that this game is going in the right direction.

However, that in no way means that there isn’t more to do, that doesn’t mean I’m not still disappointed in things like the simple fix of putting a toggle button to turn off hobosacks not making it once again into the game feature patch as an Engineer that’s simply unforgiveable.

But even as I complain about such things, I’m not just logging in complaining and never returning, if I didn’t care about where this product was heading trust me I have better things to do with my time. They’ve shown me with this release and their recent interviews that they know there are problems and I’m willing to give them time. That doesn’t mean I don’t tell them what’s wrong or why I’m upset about things like Hobosacks.

I don’t think the issue of “right” to complain is what the OP is getting at. What the OP is probably trying to say, and what I often try to say is is it reasonable to complain?

There are very reasonable complaints, and there are not so reasonable complaints. There are reasonable ways to phrase complaints and unreasonable ways to phrase them.

We haven’t had a new zone since launch is demonstrably untrue. We got a new zone since July and people are still saying there are no new zones. That’s not reasonable, particularly if we keep getting more with the new living story.

I still see complaints about temporary content, even though none of the new content has been temporary. The last temporary content we got was months ago. In a year’s time, if this keeps up there’ll be a lot more content.

It’s reasonable to want stuff. It’s not reasonable to exaagerate your argument to get what you want, and it doesn’t help your cause.

Reasonable complaints expressed reasonably I almost never go after.

It’s when people are, in my opinion, unreasonable that I take issue.

Well what is unreasonable to one person is reasonable to another. Dishonesty and hyperbole are one thing, but sometimes people just outright disagree and it gets misconstrued as exaggeration, when it is just a difference of opinion.

For example, if I were to say that the game “hasn’t added any significant content since launch,” I am making a subjective claim that is open to personal interpretation.

OP, I have a lot of sympathy for your position.

It is right that people critique the game and compile wishlists and even chase anet about them, but I am truly bored by the new threads posted daily criticizing the previous days teaser, because they are frequently based on blatant falsehoods (“we’ve had no new endgame content for the last 2 years”, etc.)

So yeah, I agree it’s upsetting to see people be so one-eyed and entitled, but you can’t write off every complaint in that way, because many of them will be healthy for the development of the game.

Be well in the Struggle!

Sure, and phrasing it that was is actually combative, without you realizing it. By say that, what you’re really doing is saying to everyone who liked the content that their content isn’t significant. You may not feel that way, but others do and that’s what they respond to.

Significant only really means worthy of note. So if you dimiss a bunch of stuff because you don’t like it, you’re actually maligning people’s hard work and trivializing what other people like. You can say it, but expect feedback because people don’t actually like to see themselves marginalized.

Now if you said, I like dungeons and that’s the main reason I play and I’d like to see more dungeons, because no dungeons have been released since the TA aetherblade path and existing dungeons are still filled with flaws", no one could argue that.

The whole significant content statement is actually not helpful to anyone including devs. Everyone has a different idea of what is significant.

The whole significant content statement is actually not helpful to anyone including devs. Everyone has a different idea of what is significant.

Just to be clear, the statement I gave is not something I actually mean. I’m just using it as an example. But no, I disagree that it is combative; it is only combative if you perceive it that way.

Yes, I could – in such an instance – phrase the words in a way that is black-and-white “this is my opinion,” but it’s not necessary. If people cannot read between the lines on such a statement and realize that it is opinion, that is not the fault of the poster.

Obviously this does not apply to claims that are of an objective nature (e.g. “this game hasn’t added any content since launch” – which is objectively true or false).

Side note: Personally (see, even right now) I often emphasize that things are my opinion. That is just how I operate. But I don’t believe that there is fault in failing to emphasize it. Part of the reason I do it is because I have too often been faced with the reality of posters who will take my words as an objective claim, when I am attempting to give my opinion. But it is not my responsibility to outline the difference between the two in every post I make.

It is just a choice I make to avoid people being combative with me. Because quite frankly, it’s a pain having people misconstrue what you say half the time.

The whole significant content statement is actually not helpful to anyone including devs. Everyone has a different idea of what is significant.

After re-reading, I noticed this and I want to address it. If no information as to “why” is ever given, then yes, it’s not helpful. It becomes a nebulous complaint with no meaning. But as soon as a “why” gets added, it is absolutely helpful because it is honest feedback. The fact that everyone has a different idea of what is significant is integral to what feedback is; we all have different perspectives, different expectations, different desires, etc. And the devs need to know that stuff sometimes, so that they can figure out where the various perspectives and desires align into something that a large amount of people will enjoy.

Edit: Also, you are missing the point when you say that it is maligning someone’s hard work. First of all, feedback is going to feel harsh sometimes to the receiver, no matter how it is given. That’s just the reality of creating things and sharing them with people. Second, dismissing stuff because I don’t like it is not maligning hard work and trivializing what other people like. That’s like saying that proclaiming that I don’t like Pepsi and prefer Coke is trivializing Pepsi fans. It’s an opinion.

Maligning hard work would be if a waiter brings my food out and after tasting it, I ask the waiter to tell the cook that the food is horrible and he should quit being a cook because he’s terrible at it. There is a huge difference between saying the food is bad and saying that I don’t like the food.

Or words to that effect.

@Labjax….

You mistook what I said.

When I said saying that content wasn’t significant is useless it’s literally true. What’s the difference between these two complaints.

“This game has no significant content updates.”
“I play this game to do dungeons and there aren’t enough of them.”

The significant content comment, in and out itself does nothing. If you clarify it, it STILL does nothing. It doesn’t help in and out itself.

There’s literally no advantage to using those terms at all, and some people will be offended. If they get offended there will be backlash.. Then the person is defending something they said, and their point gets lost.

So yes, it can be said, but in and of itself, it’s unnecessary and only helps to muddy the issue.

“This game has no significant content updates, because a lot of them were of temporary nature and as such cannot be played by players who were absent at the time (LS1).”
or
“This game has no significant content updates, because everything still plays in very much the same way (for me) it had played since release (the PoV of one who wants to see new proffs, classes, weapons, dungeons etc. – in short, one who wants a far amount of permanent new content).”
“This game has no significant content updates, if new additions are examined in parallel to the content of the whole game.”
“This game has no significant content updates, because the pvp still feels like it’s in beta, and WvW is still a zergfest and a whack-a-door competition.”

Just to list a few.

You are assuming that everyone has only bought the box.

That is a mistake.

I spent A LOT of money in gem store, not because I liked something from there, but because I wanted TO SUPPORT developers in making NEW content.

Because of this, I am very very disappointed to see “achievement improvements” more important than new features people where “crying about”.

I am sure ArenaNet and their employees do understand that, lots other MMOs are being released (almost) every year and they have to keep their game(gw2) making profit. Howsoever, this is not done by making achievements improvements or removing content once added.

Personally, I have several lvl 80s and I have nothing to keep me in this game. I couldn’t care less for any of upcoming changes to gw2, and I expected much more to come

If I remember correctly, kind Sir Colin told us that they are keeping surprise for us. I really believed in him, since week 3 was under Soon™. But sadly, all we got are totally unnecessary changes.

Aside thanking you for reading my long message, I do hope developers will start doing something instead removing added content. (Remember Southsun cove dungeon, right?).

TL;DR: I am sure ArenaNet and their employees do understand that, lots other MMOs are being released (almost) every year and they have to keep their game(gw2) making profit. Howsoever, this is not done by making achievements improvements or removing content once added.

Indeed, especially if someone tries to put people in a corner. Criticism is a major part of CRM after the entering in a market. Most people never learned to cope with criticism which is in my opinion a big point of accusations and assumptions in most discussions. No matter if pro or against something.

So basically you say those who have played the game one have no right to complain and those playing for 2 years.

But are they. You see I log in to GW2, talk with some people do a JP and once a week do guild-mission. Sometimes some level grinding. But really playing the game not so much. I did that the first half year and after that I did play with the SAB release and maybe with one or two other patches but overall you can’t consider it playing. I did LS season 1 mainly because it was temporary and you had to do it or lose out on it forever.

I try to level the alts hoping for better times but that feels ore like a grind then playing. I do some JP’s but that’s just a few min and the guild-missions once a week. For the rest it’s more dragging along hoping for better times then playing.

I would love to be really actively playing. For example for one of those alt’s I was looking in the wardrope for some skins and found a nice one. Now normally there is game-content you can play. Go do that quest to get that skin. In this case it turned out to be an older BLTC skin so if I want that it would mean grinding gold or keys or buying it. All stuff you can’t consider playing the game can you. Keeping you busy maybe. (not that I went on doing that as the grind for this would be to much).

In other games that sort of stuff (being it crafts, skins, mini’s, mounts or ranger pets) it was kept me playing for at least a year. But here the game does not want me to play but want me to buy gems.

Like you say you did buy those gems. It’s buying those gems that’s helping to support this cash-shop focus that’s so bad for the game. But you can also not consider that playing. You see that skin, buy it and then jump around with it showing off how you did fall for the marketing tricks. Maybe you consider that playing, I don’t. But I do understand why people who do spend many gems have less of a problem with the game.. As that is how the game is designed.

But yes I did only did pay once for this game (well twice as I own it twice and one time a lot as I did buy the Collectors edition) and am willing to pay again but only for a good expansion with lots of new game-content you can really play. In fact if they would have done it like I expected them to do and release an expansion every year then I had already both 2 expansions by now. But as long as they can trick people into buy gems for nothing really that seems to be what they are going for.

“dont wana spend real money? farm dungeons for 2 days and buy a skin or what ever ” Grind (or buy) gold and then buy what you need. That’s indeed the main thing and that’s what the complains are about.

Hello Rich Fuel,

I’m fairly certain that more people love the game than not who have played it. Far more. It’s just the people who do love this game (such as me who spends at least 10 hours a day on it!) are too busy enjoying the game to have time coming on these forums!

I still see complaints about temporary content, even though none of the new content has been temporary. The last temporary content we got was months ago. In a year’s time, if this keeps up there’ll be a lot more content.

Well, it’s because what happened all those months ago is bearing fruit right now. And it’s pretty sour fruit. Because if they’d not been so hell bent on pursuing an idea so bad even my cats were laughing at it, we’d have a lot more content RIGHT NOW instead of having to wait a year’s time for the new permanent content to show any significant accumulation.

A lot of us here tried to tell them. Guys, we said, this isn’t going to work, this is a bad idea, this is flat out stupid. PLZ STAHP. What did we get?

“Leave Britney alone!”

But but but, some of you may be saying, they did listen and now LS is permanent content!

Oh, yeah. They did indeed listen. At this rate, we naysayers are going to have to step up our game and start QQing and whining and complaining non-constructively about things they haven’t even thought of screwing up yet at least a year in advance!

The table is a fable.

I rather pay a sub, I spent far far far far far more on gw2 than any other sub based games, I liked to support this comapany. Not that I can’t afford it, but still. Seeing how this game gets no content I consider it as a waste of money.

Some things just take more time than people are willing to allow for.

I used to have a boss that insisted a 12 hour job could be done in 3 hours. Therefore, no one was able to satisfy him, pretty much ever.

He was consistently unhappy. It didn’t matter that what he was asking for was not reasonable or was beyond the realm of possibility. Sometimes it didn’t even matter of what he asked was bad for business. He wanted what he wanted when he wanted it.

When he eventually left the company (shortly before he was going to get fired), he was replaced by a more reasonable boss, who lets things more or less take their course. The store prospered…but not right away. Righting that ship took a good year before anyone saw any differences.

The temporary content thing had strengths as well as weaknesses, but because people were so up in arms about it, Anet was forced back to the drawing board. We’re seeing only the beginnings of those changes now. Actually we’re seeing a lot of changes now, that people have been asking for for a long time.

But it’s not fast enough for some people. And that’s okay. The people it’s not fast enough for will complain bitterly, even if what they’re saying is no longer the case.

almost every single post here is about how no 1 likes Anet,
you payed once! and played for 2 years and all you do is complain, you dont have rights to complain!
new pvp rewards
class balance (so u wont cry that warrior is op)
more “traits” for wvw
commander color, not a big change but can have a big effect if used right
megaserver maybe this time it will be right, if no the heck so ull miss tequatl or just need to be ready 20 min ahead
u dont get kicked from dungeon wen the leader leaves
a small but nice improvment for crafting + new back pieces
fresh start, eaither a new member or a 2 years members starts a new class and will have easier life lvling
finishers and minis im not fan of that but i know alot of people who are
new collection achivment, more ap more loot, even if u dont get profit for it, its an extra goal.
Anet i paid once for the game but you keep adding staff every now and then, even if its a mere dagger or gs skin
Thank you! 2 years and im still enjoying

As someone else pointed out, you assume people have only bought the game and haven’t bought gems (with irl money).

“fresh start, eaither a new member or a 2 years members starts a new class and will have easier life lvling”
Thats funny.
So far all their changes have done is made it so I don’t want to start a new character. Everything is now (or will be on the 9th) gated behind having to get to a certain level. Downed state, weapon skills, traits, etc. If they gave us the option to start a character the way it was originally (including traits) then I’d be more inclined to start a new character.

So you made a post, where you deliberately tell people to stop whining, everything is just fine.

Some people people responded, with opinions, different points of view.

Even the ANet responded, explaining why sometimes those so called bad posts are not always just that, bad….

But apparently you don’t like the feedback, or disrespect the opinions voiced here, kitten even outright disagree with them because in your mind you are right, and everyone else is wrong.

So you ask to have it removed?, why exactly?

Because you expected only to get response from those who like you feel they are the “Only One” who thinks Everything is perfect as it is, that there is no need for discussion, no need to raise relevant topics to ANet.

Not all “complaints” are complaints as such, these forums are full of topics which at first glance comes off kitten called “complaints” but are in actual fact more along the lines of constructive criticism, even suggestions as for how to make things work better.

In MY opinion, and I stress that this is my personal opinion….
Yes we all have a right to “complain” we bought the game after all, included in that sales package were a set of expectations, some of which were met, others not so much.

And we have the right to give feed back as long as it is constructive, well thought through and actually might be worth considering.

The only posts I truly have disdain for are the rage posts, where someone just slams kitten some topic, complaining outright, without having taken the time and put in the effort it takes to come up not only pointing out the wrongs, but also make some valid points as for how things can be improved.

Asking to have the topic removed, because you didn’t like the way a forum works is truly a cop-out of I ever saw one!

In short: if you don’t want people to respond to your opinion, don’t bother voicing it in the first place.

Off topic:
Well OP, while I understand (to a point) your frustration and what you’re driving at (and in some instances tend to hold similar views), if you kick the rats’ nest you need to expect to get bitten. Don’t start the fight if you aren’t willing to dig in and go the distance.

On topic:
I wouldn’t say that almost every post is about people not liking Anet. Many here like the game and the company, but yes there is a lot of negativity. Always is, but there is positivity here as well to balance some of it out. Not always the same voices on one side or the other either. Like a dance, the people shift depending on the topic. Sure, there are some that just are completely unhappy, and nothing that is done can make them happy, but they are few.

Any product purchase gives the purchaser the right to express their opinion; good, bad, or otherwise. To assume that people “paid once” is also not wise. As others have pointed out, they have also purchased gems in support of the game at one time or another. They are welcome to express their dissatisfaction just as much as someone is welcome to express their contentment with the game, so long as it’s done in a healthy, constructive manner. Beyond that, it is much more common for those that are discontent to voice their opinion than it is for those that are content, simply because the content ones are using their product. As such, you’ll notice that most reviews (for any product) tend to trend on the negative side. That’s just how people are. We typically only speak up when we are unhappy.

Don’t look at me like that. Whatever you’ve heard, it’s probably not true.

you dont have rights to complain!

We have more rights to complain about the game as you have to complain about the other players since those players did buy the game about which they are complaining. You didn’t buy the players. By following your own logic you should be smiling and happy about it.

You are assuming that everyone has only bought the box.

That is a mistake.

I think the mistake is assuming you spent gems on items, got the items and yet are owed something else….

We “don’t have rights to complain”? Yet another piece of evidence which suggests that the die-hard defenders ( known here on the forums as “White Knights” ) are worse than haters.

Seriously, “no right to complain”? Just wow.

When I buy something low quality I expect problems. When those problem arise I just remind my self “you get what you pay for” and keep it to myself.

Low Quality = Low Expectations

When I buy something of higher quality I have a certain set of standards I expect it to meet. That’s why I was willing to spend the extra money on it in the first place.

High Quality = High Expectations

Now maybe I made the mistake of assuming GW2 was a AAA MMO and in turn a high quality item but I don’t want to believe that. I loved GW1 and was starting to get heavily invest in GW2 but two years later no expansion and no announced plans for one has just caused me to move away from the game and spend money on other MMOs.

Dear OP…………………………………..

So we don’t have a right to complain about a product we bought ??

Let’s see….
The ads were like “Every day is new, no day is like the other one before”
They even had little movies with a girl in a Taxi telling random people how
much every day is different from yesterday……………….

And now you tell me people have no rights to complain ????
I bought the game exactly because of this only reason.
-Dungeons every day the same
-PVE areas every day the same
-World bosses every day the same, they even have timers…..
-Reward… every day the same
-Farming results every day the same
it goes on and on……………..

And yes i have the right to complain.
Mostly because of other reason though.
I am a GW1 veteran and spend years of my life in this community.
If GW2 doesn’t come close to GW1 and A-Net tells me everything is fine and exiting i have a right to complain.

This game is extremely dumbed down and most stuff that made GW1 so great is removed.
-Bring back death penalty and remove reviving from all classes but Guardian and Necro
-Bring back monster necromancer who turns bodys into zombies
-Bring back many skills to chose from

This game would be fixed immediately………. no more zerker groups, finally a colorful
mix of builds and fun groups

As long as mayor parts of the game are close to garbage people don’t care about wardrobes or commander tag colors or minipets.
This is what people are complaining about and they have all rights to do so
