I am starting a post on this as in many forums we go off track or let our passion for the game turn very easily into rage. Please only post constructive comments that are not asking for nerfs but are more geared towards what you like and why you want to see more of that or what you had a bad experience with that you would like to not happen again. I will be alternating between good and bad.

I will start us off. =)
1) Achievement Rewards- Fantastic idea. We love this as we are getting rewarded for playing the game and completing challenges.
2) Limited time events that are tied into the open world- Not the best move kitten many things can and have gone wrong with this. It just takes 1 person giving misinformation or trolling to kill this for so many people. The Fireworks for example.
3) Challenging Dungeons- Aetherblade Retreat was AMAZING. The dungeon was all about teamwork which we really needed. A few glitches in the beginning but they were fixed promptly.
4) Limited time dungeons with hard to complete achievements- Not the greatest idea. I got lucky to run with a solid group that knew how to masterfully use their classes. It was about 10 runs over the week and we could do it while sleeping. This was not the case for when my friends and family tried it. They got people that would go down off the map to get personal space or just had no idea how to maintain survival AND damage for Unfriendly Skies.
5) Trying to bring interest to barely visited areas- Good Idea. We need more people interested in other locations to allow variety in play. Can’t always solo a champion after all in an empty map.
6) Putting a PvE achievement in a WvW map- I am 50/50 on this. The intention was good, the JP is fun and challenging, and I enjoyed helping people complete it. The negative is when the servers changed we had people camping the JP. Can you stealth? yes. Does it matter when AoE is all over the jumps? no. I tried to help my wife on the JP and we had a staff guard and a staff necro up top. Yay to fear and knockback.
7) Keeping us updated via your website- good even though at times the info is too obscure to decipher into anything that sounds promising. Keeping me guessing keeps me interested in things to come for the game but when describing the long term goals there is mass confusion and fear of nerfs all over the place.
8) Responding to 80-90% of the threads that are praising ANet and the other 10-20% of actual problems- Bad. We don’t need an explanation on a fix or anything. A simple post like “We see what you guys are saying and we will look into it” is all we need. Everyone has a voice and ANet can’t respond to all of them and I know that. People deserve just as much love for being kitten ed off over something as the people who love everything you do.
