Guild Wars 2

Hello Arena net! I’m playing you awesome game and like it very much. I’m from Russia, also there around thousands other Russian players who like Guild Wars 2. We wish to help you improve game, make it best of the best and appreciate your work.

It’s cool that ArenaNet made a race with cultural features of Russian and Soviet Union.
But there is one moment that makes me, and some other russian players very sad. Dredges. Some players discover that this evil, wretched and miserable race of moles have similarity with Soviet Union. Some people in russian community describe their feelings about Soviet Dredges as “Unpleasant, annoying” Such a things discourage some players from playing a game. Because it is our culture, our history, and we respect it.

Sorry for my bad English.

Can’t say that such things can bother mutch, but Dredges are really ugly creatures.

I too noticed the similarities between the Dredges and the Soviet Union. That said, it seems to be more of a correlation between cold-war era Soviet Union than the current USSR. This is more telling in the Sorrows Embrace instance.

I am not Russian, so it probably seems odd that I may say “I really don’t see a problem”, because I don’t see the parallel being drawn to present-day Soviet Union. Ergo, I think that ArenaNet is not “attacking” or painting your country in a bad light, and that you should be able to continue to feel proud about your heritage.
