Guild Wars 2

I was browsing the internet and i found something interesting about the game. Apparently Guild Wars 2 could have been in the claws of an infamous and crappy company, we all know which one (Nexon).

Apparently, once upon a time, Anet hired Crystin Cox as monetization manager, who was kinda famous in the nexon community.

Here’s the article I found http://www.mmorpg.com/blogs/Meleagar/112012/24237_NCSoft-Sold-Arenanet-and-GW2-Out-For-Nexon-Investment

That company might have some interesting games, but the company itself simply destroys them. Not to mention the community…

Anyone have a dead horse giff?

here we are …..

Thanks

This article is 3 years old. Anet isn’t even controlled by Ncsoft anymore as far as GW2 is concerned, they recently bought themselves out.

This thread is misleading as kitten. Anet has carefully listened – and has shown it continues to do so – to community feedback on management of the gemstore.

Yeah I know its reaaaally old, but I just found it funny and felt really grateful at the same time

Cox is still with the company. In fact she is one of the heads for the Mastery System.

Ms. Cox is still working for Guild Wars 2 and as far as I can tell, she got a bad “rep” among some players for doing the job that she was hired to do at a previous job. Doing the job you were hired to do and doing it well is not not a moral failing and is not looked down upon in business circles, which may have been exactly why she was hired by ANet.

Spotlight on Crystin Cox
“During Living World Season 2, Crystin took charge of a new team that was organized to improve in-game rewards in Guild Wars 2. Previously, no single dedicated team handled in-game rewards, and individual content teams were responsible for deciding how players would be rewarded. Crystin felt there should be a greater balance between Gem Store item offerings and in-game rewards, and she and the rewards and commerce teams have worked on creating a clear division so that items will fit their method of distribution. For example, armor sets are now exclusively designed as in-game rewards while outfits are primarily Gem Store offerings. Her teams also designed the new transmutation system and helped work on the new wardrobe.”
