Perhaps I’m wrong here, but it truly seems there is far more emphasis on forum moderation than there is in actual game. I rarely ever see a GM in game, yet if you post something off topic in a particular forum topic, it’ll be deleted in less than 15 minutes. Crazy.

ANet, I’m sure the game benefit with a little shifting of attention away from the forums and into the game. Just sayin!

Apples and oranges. False dichotomy.

Need that NBC ‘more you know’ logo.

In case you couldn’t tell, OP (and Doz or whatever your name is,) that’s sarcasm. We’re being facetious. They aren’t the same people. And I know I repeated myself, but for some odd reason I feel like you probably still won’t get it.

Not sure why that would be directed to me. I in no way said anything about programmers. Forum mods and in-game GMs shares a similar skill set and could quite easily be handled by the same people.

Thanks for your snide comment anyway.

Wow. That’s absolute garbage. It was my understanding this was a public forum and we are be able to discuss what we want, as long as we remain civil replies are kept on topic. So now we’re not allowed to create topics we WANT to discuss? That’s going too far.

Nothing that reflects negatively on the game please!

“it doesn’t make you spend hours preparing to have fun, rather than having fun”
Guild missions say otherwise.

Rarely saw GMs in GW1 as well… and I don’t expect one to just show up in the world.
