Guild Wars 2

So yeah apparently getting work done on new legenderies is too hard, and Anet wants to reallocate resources. I’m not gonna comment on how that makes me feel as we are getting close to 30 pages of replies that should indicate the opinion of the player base in the original post. So this post instead offers an idea. Let us take charge. I will gladly help write the lore/dialogue for new legenderies as that apparently takes effort and time . And I will do it for FREE. Unfortunately I personally suck with anything code/design related , however I’m sure that we can find talented volunteers in our amazing community who don’t suck at these tasks, who would be willing to help. At least let us work on it , you can set approval stages in order to make sure things are going to where you want them to go ( something that should’ve been done originally for the team in charge of this content). All I want is to see more legendary weapons in game , I don’t even care whether you guys do it or the community does it ..

That seems…risky. I think of how much of a disaster it would be if my employer brought in a volunteer to “assist” me with my work in any meaningful way. It wouldn’t save me very much time, unless that person was skilled enough and committed enough that we might as well be paying them as an employee.

Volunteers are great for a lot of things, but they’re not free employees.

This. It’s way tricky to make these things actually work. You need people who aren’t going to flake once they realize how big of a job it is. You also need people who actually work well together (which can be hard to find when you’re just doing a general call out for help). And you also, obviously, need people who have the talent/skill/education needed.

I’ve seen at least a few projects funded through Kickstarter and other such places that never got off the ground because one (or more) of the “volunteers” helping with the project disappeared/didn’t meet deadlines/had a difference of opinion with other people working on the project.

I’d have to agree with the 2 posts above. While it’s a very noble idea OP. It’s not one that could or possibly would work very well at all.

I’ve submitted my resume to Anet, since it seems like they are in need of some people lol.
