Guild Wars 2

Just an idea, what if… some of the people on the gemstore team, were moved to other teams, I mean, we get more gliders and outfits than we know what to do with, while the teams on the Legendaries and Fractals (among others) appear to be having trouble.
Granted, I don’t know what’s goin on behind the scenes, all I know is what I see coming out every week or 2.

Don’t get me wrong, I love this new bubble glider, but I’d gladly trade it for fractal updates:)

Designing new weapon, armor, and glider skins is very easy.

The issues with the Legendaries and Fractals are code related, not skin related and thus require substantially more time (and different skill sets than what the gem store developers most likely are skilled in).

And new gem shop swag is what pays the monthly bills. Plus artist/modelers can’t be converted into story writers, collection designers, script writers at a drop of the hat. Certain members on the dev team have very specific wheelhouses they are working from. So they have a modeler or two, or maybe they rotate through people so everyone can contribute to a glider design or weapon skin set connected to the Gem Shop team who tries to figure out when to pull items, return items, put them on sale, introduce something new, so the income the gem shop generates is relatively constant. Or with the March sale (and other quarterly sales), gin up the quarterly income numbers for NCSOFT.
