Guild Wars 2

Its hilarious, if this place had a complaints box, like some restaurants do, it would fill up every 2 hours, on the other hand, its amusing beyond belief how many people are complaining about the most minuscule stuff, particles on weapons, unfairness of the devs to our collective intelligence, hairstyles, asuran racism, the lack of footsteps that makes us loose the immersion, names of places, etc etc…

Now dont get me wrong, criticism is by far the most reasonable way to improve something, but one thing is constructive criticism, and another thing is constant whining, It must be hard for some to live in a world that does not cater to their most minuscule whims, but I ask the question: What game does?

The game must be getting better when folks no longer argue as much about balance or difficulty, or maybe they just moved on seeing that their complaints went nowhere…

So have any one of you seen or read some funny rants from people around here?
I love the ones about the breasts on female toons, some say they are “unrealistically” big, while other say they need bigger…

pretty sure that complaint box wouldn’t matter cause the devs would probably never read it. Also when players see that living story > their complaints or constructive criticisms many just leave. I know i only log in once a week for guild missions and then log off cause this living story gives me nothing a good story can. Can’t even remember the names of the people we just met over the past few months.

Also we do need bigger. Bigger is better.

I read one about this poster complaining about complaints, I found that pretty amusing.

I stand by my hypothesis that everyone with nothing to complain about is currently playing the game, not in the forums. But then I’m here… and I’m happy… ack what’s going on?!

I can’t say I have a favourite rant be because they generally depress me, but the threads about the new JP do crack me up. I was particularly amused when the first four threads in the sub forum were something like “New jp too easy” “New jp too hard” “New jp too long” “New jp too little too late” one right after each other.

killcannon, this is probably the best rejoinder I’ve seen on the subject of this thread. Very well executed, /kneel.

Actually, a high level of constructive criticism demonstrates the involvement level of the community. It means that the forums are succeeding in the purpose for which Anet intended them: as a mechanism for 2-way communication about the game. I actually find the tone here generally much better and more positive than other gaming forums that I have participated in. All games have issues and its healthy to raise them and debate those where there is disagreement. I, for one (or maybe for two I guess), am not going to complain about complaining.

This person is a great example of the type that will complain about every thing and will never lissom to any thing any one will say to them.
“pretty sure that complaint box wouldn’t matter cause the devs would probably never read it.” This is the worst attitude to take to any thing in a game or in real life because effectually your saying nothing will change.

The ANET complaint box would follow the same route that restaurant complaint boxes take, the dumpster.

Here’s every other forum response i get “wait more.” Sick of waiting month after month so i’m investing my time and money into other games. While i wait for gw2 to actually get better. Also no i’ve never seen any other game’s forum have a “complaint box” because even devs know it’s a dumb idea to call it that. Lets be honest it’s already split into the discussion and suggestion forum.
