Do you think there should be a GuildWars 2 community poll?
Ever seen Snakes on a Plane?
Just because the community want it doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

How so? not trying to be smart about your comment but explain how it couldnt be a good idea? is it about the players or is it about the designers vision of the game and only their vision?
No. We’ve had almost ten years of apologetic devs trying to bring people what they want and failing because people have NO IDEA what they want.
I want the devs to come out and say we have our vision and we’re sticking to it. I wanna play the game they envisioned, and not the one the masses think they want. The devs are the experts here. Let ’em work.

ok, I can agree with you here. To be honest I really don’t have any suggestions other than the camera issue but I mainly created this post because I read other peoples topics on this board.

I brought up Snakes on a Plane because they used exactly this logic. During production the movie got a lot of internet buzz and they extended shooting to include a lot of ideas their fans wanted to see, thinking it’d make the movie better. Then it came out and tanked at the box office.
It sounds contradictory but knowing what you like isn’t the same as knowing how to make something good, and anyone who’s tried anything vaugely creative will probably have experienced this in one form or another. I’ve made some truly terrible pasta sauces for example by throwing together various herbs and spices I love, because the trick is in making them all work together. And also making sure one thing isn’t overwhelming everything else, or simply that you’re not over-doing it so everyone gets sick of it, like eating too much chocolate at Christmas.
It’s the same with art, or game design, or websites, or cars, or anything really. Making a great end product requires a lot more than simply throwing together whatever parts seem cool and the designers can’t do it if they give up that control to a crowd of people all clamouring for their favourite features to take center stage.

I remember running into a moderator closed post once about this.
Mod simply said that “petitions” are not permissible on the forums. =/
Not sure about polls, but they do run the risk of following suit if they’re formed like a petition

Ok I guess I understand what your saying. Just thought this might be a good idea because sometimes or id say majority of the time game developers have a vision that they think people would like but only to find out only a small percentage like it and what they thought was wrong. Isn’t that how majority of games are? Anyways I just thought that the safest route would be to really find out what people want instead of taking huge risks. I don’t really have any suggestions and I do enjoy the game alot, its just that I see people complaining about dungeon rewards or end game stuff so I figured why all the hassle, just take a poll and add what people want?
