Guild Wars 2

Now I have to admit that I am on edge with this game for the last three months.
I was very open to defend this game before, but with the recent shown direction the game is taking and the lack of communication (it got a bit better, but is not on a calming level) I have just can`t relax.
There is no release the past few months that did not have a major problem in it.

There are bugs, weird design decisions (with lacking explanation, aside from metrics often), story and lore holes you can drive a truck through (Prometheus is nothing against it), etc.

It really drags down my hope and enthusiasm for the game.

All the hype the PR tries to bring and even the developers themselves have turned into the complete opposite.

Excitement has turned into the fear on what will go wrong.

Good things dwindle in the face of the bad. Yes there are a lot of good stuff, but then I think it is too little too late

Quality Assessment is lacking. I do not know why?
Do they not have the time for it?
People were asking them to slow down for better quality, but that doesn`t seem to happen.

Someone pointed me to some Glassdoor reviews (I know, I should take them with a grain of salt, but there are appeaerenlty some reviews from active devs), which say that the QA team is outsourced.
Which means it is in the hands of people not associated directly and not part of ANet.

If this is true, then it would explain some things, though I am not knowing enough of the buisnes to rate it.

Maybe these outsourcing companies are better, because they have an outside look on the matter, I do not know.

However, please note that I am (and I believe others as well) are very concerned about the priorities the company as well as the game is heading.

There is something called style over substance and I believe we are heading that way.
A lot of flash and glamour, but not the heart.
