Guild Wars 2

Hello to everyone who accidentally stumbles onto this post.

As a long time GW player, and since launch GW2 player, not to mention a player of multiple mmo’s I can honestly applaud the GW community for being the most civic, helpful and constructive criticism people out there. An when devs do get involved in the forums to get assistance as to how to improve aspects of the game people keep it respectful despite their views on changes that may or may not happen.
And can’t we all agree that we love it when a dev pops up in some random sub-forum just because =D

GW definitely got the friendliest community, in-game and in the forums! And we should, and we do pride ourselves with it, as we should.

What spurred my sudden need to applaud this? Well some of you might have heard what happened at the SWTOR forums here’s a link http://massivelyop.com/2015/05/07/swtor-players-harass-a-bioware-dev-and-his-family/
Now had it been that simple I probably wouldn’t have bothered with this post, however I read the original posts by the dev and the reactions from the community, I also read a few pages of the comments to the statement from Eric. And well, it’s a mess, all of it, the devs stepped in it, the community stepped in it even worse, and people commenting on Eric’s thread is stepping in it even more.

So yes I got all mushy x’)
So thank you GW community and devs, and community-managers for making it a pleasure to be a part of the GW community!

And now I have written community a thousand too many times, and will end the message here =)

The reason why we keep it respectful is to not scare them off. They don’t talk to us much (if at all), so what little interaction I have with them tends to be so.

ANet devs are like little shy rabbits, we want to pet them but any movement may scare them and they run away

But really, our community is really nice indeed and the devs are a funny folk, I can’t be more satisfied.

Considering that some forum members are more like baying hounds chasing a rabbit on sight than little girls wearing flowers in their hair trying to pet the fluffy bunny, it’s not surprising they run away from any movement. ^^

Though sometimes, the rabbit does the chasing when provoked.

TL;DR, so HUGS!!
