Guild Wars 2

I really am. I truly enjoy this game. Seriously, I play every chance I get. I have 3 80’s, a 4th on the way. But right now, the new content implementations are making it tougher and tougher to log in. I want to be excited about new things. Twice now I have been let down.

I won’t go in to Southsun Cove. I’ve been over that already. But the gorilla in the room right now are the absurd costs of Guild Missions, the way small guilds were overlooked, and the lack of discussion from the side of the devs.

I’m not going to begin the discussion on how this patch has affected anyone; this post is my way of getting my opinion out there. The only problem with that is this: I feel like the devs might not want our feedback or opinions. There are countless posts vanishing into the forum trashcan after asking ANet why this patch was made the way it was, or asking what happened to the ‘no grind, everyone can play’, asking for a response, or asking for a little clarification on why things are the way they are. Maybe I was spoiled by Paragon Studios and their constant attention to player questions, but I can’t fathom how lumping legitimate threads into a gigantic, hard-to-read thread can possibly aid the developers in assessing player opinion.

I will continue to play the game, but I don’t know if I will enjoy future updates based on what I’ve seen thus far.

I think the point to lumping threads together is in the hopes that the complaints die down (or seem to).

It wouldn’t look good to potential new players checking out the forums to see a full page of complaints about the latest patch.

ArenaNet wants to keep people buying their game.

That’s what worries me. If the forums are here to voice our opinions and discuss the game, why are all discussion threads lumped in to one giant hard to read thread or deleted outright?

This is a situation where player woes need to be, at the very least, heard.

Problem is that we are not allowed to doubt the forums, following the code of conduct.

I miss the day of Gail Gray doing little QA sessions in lions arch.
At least then it seemed like the dev team listened to us, now when you see a dev in game they are silent and act like you dont exist.
