Guild Wars 2

It could be great to have all the complains at the right place.

So all stuff that players QQ about should be at the same place.

This would help to get all other forum in a positive, constructive place.

If you like this, +1 it.

Whole forums are made for complains. Happy people don’t post on forums, they play game. Players don’t complain for the sake of it (well most don’t), they complain because they love this game and want it to be better.

Cynz makes a good point. I think what you are looking for is more specific topics to post in. Must be hard for anet to read through all the posts to find a few relevant ones. It would be interesting if we could downvote posts lol.

If there are so many complaints it’s because the balance team is both not improving the balance and they are reducing build variety instead of improving it.

If they would have listened to the community they would be getting praises instead of complaints.

They are listening, they are improving build diversity, man I’m tired of telling people this…. And no, people like you will always complain about the state of the game. It is inevitable.

Then how come my axe/axe warrior build ain’t viable yet after 4 years?

Guardian forums have asked for a peel-off item, a burn build, a change to shield, a change to 1-handers, F1 changes, sustain changes, and a few other misc items.

Maybe you’re asking the wrong way

They want it to better …for them. Many complaints are countered by other posters because they see the flaws in what the complainer asks … and then it turns into fights, battle quotes, post history necroing and other stuff.

Maybe that is what I find a bit sad on this forum : there are no “in-depth” CM to animate debate and offer counter argument. Most hot discussions end up being closed by a Moderator without any insight on what the game dev think.

For many years there was a weekly discussion in Dungeon sub about the berserker meta which was intended or not intended, easy or hard… Nobody ever came to say “guys, we tuned our content so that most teams can do dungeons but some are more rapid while more risky”.
Today there are weekly thread about easy mode Raids. There are discussions about MMR hell, about how it is easy for anybody to reach Legend league, about GvG in WvW maps, about balance … add whatever weekly/monthly discussion

There should be someone labelled Anet being able to enter those discussions and give the opinion of the dev, the direction they want to give to a particular content. Because while forum is a good tool to gauge the community’s opinions on things to give devs some feedback, we are in need of a feedback from the devs on what they intend to do.
Gaile is doing a great job, especially when it comes to social interaction with players but she never enters deep mechanistic conversation. I don’t know if she actually could do it (either from time point of view or maybe she simply would not like) but I think every team (Fractal/Raid, PvP, WvW maybe but they seem to have that through their Live beta, Balance, Open world) should have someone to interact with player via the forum or other media (not necessarily an already busy dev but someone whose task is to do so). I know it would be a huge cost for the company and it may not be that simple…

But having some more in depth reasons for balance (more than 2 lines in patch notes, or to discuss what they don’t feel is needed), what kind of archetypes the PvP team want to promote (they always say they want to shift the pacing of the game but never disclose their true final goal), what they think about PvE Meta in instanced content (or maybe to guide us to some builds they planned but never occurred), how do they choose their itemization choice (hopefully they don’t simply roll dices for stat combination) and so many more other developing philosophy would actually help the community to handle better quality discussion.

Becouse it have always been viable but the word your looking for is optimal mate.

This suggestion is no different than, “free speech zones.” So, no thank you.

If you don’t like complaints threads than don’t read them. I try to look at them as opportunities to help those frustrated see a different perspective of whatever grieves them… or make jokes to lighten the mood.

A Sylvari walks into a bar. The bartender says, “I think you’d better leave.” The Sylvari doesn’t leave so the bartender says, “You must take me for a sap!” The Sylvari says, “Stop your barking and pour me a logger.”

An Asura walks into a bar, has a few drinks, and pulls out 10 copper. The bartender says, “Sorry pal, you’re short.”

To OP, in reality, it’s not really needed. Everyone has different complaints, and you can join in or scroll past. I myself played for over a year before I even discovered the forum, as I didn’t have any complaints or worries till HoT came on the scene.

Only if the Complaints section has a “Complaining about Complaints” subsection.

Ostrich, or maybe a blind knights section would be better

I utterly and completely disagree with this. I never write “complaints” on the forum. I’m here either because I have constructive ideas for the developers, or because I like to converse with the community. I don’t mind reading constructive criticism either, but the “complaints/negative criticism” from my point of view should just be banned completely…
