This has been on my mind for quiet sometime and with every patch I feel this has become a bigger and bigger issue. Bigger than those who complain about PvP or WvW or Raids or all combined!!!
The biased nature of the devs towards lack of Quaggan content. Categorically:
1. No Quaggan statues available for the guild hall. We have rams, monkeys, steam ogres, wyverns, but no Quaggans. Where are the Quaggans I ask? For those of you lore lovers, they were and are an integral part of the Pact. Are they not worthy enough for statues? Why should they not be preserved for ever in heroic poses. I demand and I know many others feel the same way that the dev’s need to focus their efforts on making Quaggan Statues available for guild halls AND be affordable.
a. Also they need to come in varying sizes.
2. Why is there no Quaggan rank in PvP? This is by far the most egregious of errors on the dev’s part. We have Dolyak rank, Tiger Rank, Bear Rank even and even the evil rank of Rabbit. But where in the world is our Quaggan Ranks? To be a Quaggan rank (this is directed at everyone who been saying on the forums that Quaggans are a lesser race) should be ABOVE (capitals intended) Dragon rank. Reasons for this as followed:
a. Quaggans helped take down Zhaitan AND Mordremoth ergo they are higher than Dragons.
b. Quaggans are NOT a lesser race.
c. There have been many instances of Quaggan bravery that everyone should aspire to.
i. When was the last time you saw a bear willingly go fight a dragon?
3. Quaggan race. As stated above some players are making cases for the Tengu to be the next race. Their logic is terribly flawed outside of the Dominion of winds being made already. Quaggans> Tengu. This is a fact of life, to doubt other would doubt the existence of elder dragons. Quaggans are the race we all strive to be, there are even instances, well documented instances of WvW players taking down zergs and chasing off attackers as Quaggans.
a. This is also the biggest reason why WvW has declined, the removal of the Quaggans from WvW ala the old lake has angered the player base and therefore must be rectified.
b. The little hideout on the BL of Quaggans shows proof the Dev’s understand that Quaggans must come back as a playable race.
4. Buyable NPCs for the Guild hall: QUAGGANS. Guild should be able to buy decorative citizens for their guild halls. We have miners after all and they should be able to have Quaggan residents. We should be able to provide shelter from the elder Dragons in our guild hall for residents of Tyria, primarily the Quaggans who have helped us!
These steps must be taken in order to preserve the player base. (I believe I hit everyone in this, WvWers, PvPers, Lore Buffs, Pvers)
