Guild Wars 2

I have been playing this game for 6630hours. I’ve been here since the beta. I’ve enjoyed every single second, minute, hour, day and year spent in game. My only regret is, that I have not had more time to spend in here. Though, frankly, it would take quite an effort to squeeze any more playing time into a game this young…
What I enjoy the most is the fact that: Compared to any other game I’ve been playing, Guild Wars 2:

1: Have the smoothest, Largest and most steady new content, feature update and balancing release stream.
2: Have the best way to listen to players feedback.
3: Make the most player inspired updates.
4: Have the least bugs.
5: Have the best community in game.
6: Have a staff who genuinely Care about its players.

I could go on all night, but I don’t write this as a praise to A-net. I am grateful though; Thank you Arena Net, For caring about your community. I hear a lot of players complain, and babel high and low about how horrible it is that you don’t do this and don’t do that and don’t care and so on and so forth, just because there’s a small thing they cant fit into their head. I humbly disagree with those people. I Love that you both bother to Listen to us, Respond to us and take us seriously…
As a developer, I would be a little discouraged, reading some of the posts on forum from time to time. I hope that the year 2016, will offer more grateful people who understand the amount of work it takes to deliver the sky high quality you do deliver.

No people, we don’t get an expansion a year, and the expansion didn’t come all at the same time, as were clearly pointed out to us prior to the release of HoT. We do however get a fully thought through, fully operational and properly optimized game. Much in opposition to any other mmo-rpg out there.
We don’t have to wait for weeks and months after an expansion release on the important bug fixes like “log in client overflow” or “The game crashing every other second” or “skills not working” or “disconnected due to encumbered servers”. We don’t have to deal with servers closing down for hours once a week. We have grown used to Anet listening to us, and even ASKING us for our opinion, to a degree that No other game show. When we do get serious bugs, they are fixed within a day or at two at most…

I love this game. I could spend another 5.000 hours in here without any content releases without getting bored. That is, AS IT IS RIGHT NOW. But hey, we know Arena Net, new content and updates and polishing IS ON THE WAY… So I suppose that as long as the servers is up, I’ll keep playing. Keep giving ideas and inspiration on the forum… and keep making new friends in the amazing, amazing community you have created.

Thank you Arena net, for giving me, and my family and friends, this amazing world to to explore and play in, together.. Thank you for the time and the effort you put into Our lives… In return, we are some, who believe in you, in what you do to bring a little light into our world…

EDIT: Thank you for doing so much more, than you ever said you would.

Merry Christmas, All you people on Arena Net.

Since when has caring about money become such a bad thing? I care about money? You can care about money and still care about players. They’re not mutually exclusive.

I ran a shop and genuinely cared about customers. I still cared about money. If you think those two things can’t co-exist, I’m sad to say I believe you’re mistaken.

OP, I agree with you, I’m having a great time.

This.

Happy customers tend to spend more money.

Companies who only care about players’ money only stay successful out of sheer dumb luck. Or have a monopoly on their niche due to contracts or just lack of competition. The latter is harder to do, but it does exist. EA’s Sims series is one such game series that suffers from lack of competition.

Wasted.

I would question how much Anet cares about us, outside of the gemstore. HoT has been disappointing so far.

Wow, this thread must be trolling. I went onto the gemstore, and there’s 2k gems for full ascended sets and 800 gems per ascended weapons, the best stuff in game next to legendaries. Are you kidding me? Terrible P2W game. Pff. “care about its players”

Nice to hear someone enjoying this game. ^.^ Merry Christmas

Hot has been disappointing to you. Does that mean Anet doesn’t care about us, because you don’t like it.

I like it. I know a lot of other people who do as well. No change to any game will keep all people happy. So if some people aren’t happy that means a company doesn’t care?

I think that’s a very long conclusion to draw and probably a wrong one as well.

I have no regrets. They gave me massive amounts of entertainment for the 3 years I have played GW2. The new direction and hoping the WvW scene improves are the only reason I continue to do my dailies and have not uninstalled. The path they have taken with everything being on timers and the reduction of loot in old PvE have made me unhappy with their new model.

Maybe one day they will decide that e-sports and verticallity is not the only content they should make, but until that day I am playing something else.

Yeah, I do realize companies need to make money. But there are certain things in the gemstores that are extremely questionable and if they’re really caring about the customers.

For example, the bundled bandit thing that is not available to purchase separately…
The angel wings released for 7 days in the Halloween event, only to be released again at HoT start date… People bought the wings thinking it won’t be released any time soon, doing this is almost unethical…
These actions are questionable, it feels like they’re trying to squeeze people’s money out.

But I’m not here to poop on anyone’s party. There are a lot of aspects of the game I enjoy, but saying they “genuinely” care about customers is not something I agree with.
