Guild Wars 2

A common comment I’ve seen in all forum threads is this “are devs reading this” or “can we get a response from a dev” or “notice me senpai” and the truth is this: devs are reading these post they either didn’t comment because they have answered the question elsewhere or they don’t have the answer yet and don’t want to add confusion or spent 20 hours a day commenting over and over “not sure about this, I’ll find out and let you know.”

So my suggestion is this: have it so if a dev reads a thread a little tick appears next to that thread so people will be like “oooOOOhhhhHH senpai noticed me” this will make the forums show that the devs are looking around and are working on these threads

While I’m hear I would also like to thank all the devs for all their hard work. Yes I will complain sometimes and get grumpy at some stuff but that doesn’t mean I hate the game. In fact I’ve been playing this game for 5947h and I plan on playing a lot more so again thanks (and if a Senpai could notice this thread that would make my day)

I think this would just cause people to shift from questioning whether devs have read it to questioning why they haven’t replied/acted on it.

The majority of the time that’s what people want – it’s not simply begging for attention for the sake of being able to say a dev replied to them – they want their question/idea/request/insane demand to actually be answered and acted on.

When it’s simply a question that’s been answered in another thread that’s easily solved by someone pointing them to the other thread and a tick to say a dev saw it and didn’t reply wouldn’t help at all.

When it’s asking for something more, like changes to the game, it may create a false expectation that it will be acted on, when in fact the person looking may not be in any position to get it changed or it may be a terrible idea they would never implement.

very true but atm their is a massive feeling that every dev is working only on HOT and this would remove some of that

It would not since then people would complain that devs just click all threads and never responds. (maybe they dont even read the thread either)
