Guild Wars 2

OK, so while we were awaiting the Hype,Known as Guild Wars 2. It was said the game will be released when it’s Finished! Two years later I get the impression it’s still not finished! All this “feature” crap should have been in the game from the start.
I get the feeling the players are being played! Anet seems to be catering to the new and future players and forgetting the veterans! Yes the ones who have been supporting Anet since GW1 (2005). As I can’t speak for the masses I can almost promise these are the people feeling most disappointed and disgruntled! We have seen the quality and quantity Anet can produce. It’s that reason we feel such a way! We know what can and has been done. All this feature crap seems almost like a relaunch of the game! It also seems as if any money I have put into the game Has been long forgotten, and The new money is where it’s at! I dunno all these posts seem like a broken record.. Same old same old. I wonder if the people posting against posts such as this are newer players and don’t understand the cause!
The GW1/Anet nostalgia is wearing off! So I say to you Anet thanks for the subpar 2 years and the sour taste left in my mouth…. Enjoy your new player base!

This post again…

There is no cause, there is no crisis, there is no need to be upset. The CDI is starting up again in 2 days.

You sure you didn’t miss any exclamation marks?

That goes without saying, but usually it comes in the form of expansion and improving what you already have! This is more like reworking!

Yes this post again. Must mean others feel the same because there are so many of them. There already has been a CDI. What’s come out of it? The only reason for having this CDI is do to the boycott like actions of players. These CDI’s could very well be just a pacifier!

You’re right, screw Anet for trying again.

I’m pretty sure improving what they already have is the entire point of this feature patch so please reword to “the improvements they are making are not helpful to me personally therefore they are bad” for better clarity.

Paranoid much? I hope you brought enough tin foil for the whole class…

Are you suggesting they’re sitting up in their ivory towers, resting on their laurels, so to speak, ignorant of what the peasant players want while they keep feeding their rampant addiction to gem store skins, instead of providing them with nourishing endgame content? Is that the Anet you think exists today?

Well, one thing’s for sure: nobody at Anet is reading these threads and sounding the alarm. The number of people who frequent the forums is minuscule compared to the active playerbase, and consequently, the opinions expressed here represent quite a small portion of the people affected. So, we keep seeing these same posts, almost word for word, and for nothing, because most of the players are happy.

P.S. What, couldn’t be bothered to give me an actual reply?

Would it have been nice to have some of these new features at launch? Obviously. But that’s not always possible. Should they have come sooner? I don’t know.

As for new features being friendly to new players, if it feels like a relaunch of the game, a lot of that is because features were developed for the China launch, which gave them a chance to rethink the early game, benefiting from a year-plus of experience after our launch.

As for waiting to release it “when it’s finished,” I don’t know if that feels like a clever use of their own words against them, but I waited a long time for the game to come out, and I’m glad I didn’t have to wait longer. It had plenty of problems, but they weren’t generally problems that were going to get fixed by delaying the game further, IMHO.

Fixed.

Anet had a lot of pressure from its mother company… to be honest, I believe that gw2 would not be released yet if Anet had their way xD

Well…

Star Wars Galaxies, Tabula Rasa, and, alas, City of Heroes (never forget, never forgive) all seem pretty well finished to me.

Good thing you do not run the show. They sold 3+ million copies until the China release and they sold 3+ million more there. I am going to say they have done fairly well for themselves. Not to mention, I have a lot of enjoyment in the game. Judging by your negative tone, if they followed the path you want, they would be closing the servers. But that is just my opinion.

Have you tried facebook? I am sure they have plenty of games right up your alley. They never add features to those.

Those are not finished, those are over. Stop kicking the dead horses.

Let’s leave mounts out of this, plz.

Refer to this post on a time line as to what could have been in 2 years. https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Guild-Wars-2-Years/first#post4360159
Instead we got things that should have already been implemented at launch in the same time frame. Yep all that good stuff plus a nicely polished game, but hey a few of you are liking the same old content day in and day out for 2 years…
