Guild Wars 2

Look, the truth is that there are players (such as myself) who enjoy the game substantially and are willing to let Anet off the hook for a few missteps here and there. There are other players who will be critical of any change that impacts them whatsoever.

I’ll continue to show up in threads and remind you guys that game developers are people who don’t deserve abuse from anonymous forum-posters (and get called a White Knight) just like Romo will continue to show up and complain that his Fractal level was reset on every single post with a red-tag (and get called a Whiner).

I’m just surprised this thread is still open, as it mostly consists of mud-slinging and personal attacks. It seems like it has outlived its usefulness.

Wow, why don’t you kiss their kitten a little more? You have a right to dislike certain things about the game and how it is handled. Some of us don’t see all butterflies and rainbows as you. Just deal with it, don’t call me out. It’s just sad excuse of a blow.

Skan, I understand you want more detail, but it is currently ArenaNet policy to not share that detail. This is a long-standing policy. They will announce dates ONLY when they are ready to do so.

Complaining about that will get you nowhere.

It’s not like the devs are sitting around a table going, “You know what our players like? Indefinite timelines. Man, we sure think they get a hoot out of those!”

They hold back information until they know, with very high certainty, that it is correct. This minimizes the number of after-announcement changes they must make.

…because you know what causes more uproar than silence? Changing things after they’ve announced them. For example: precursor crafting. Or megaserver rollout plans. Etc.

That said, if you want to complain about official ArenaNet policy on the forums, you’re welcome to do so (though I do believe it’s against the Code of Conduct), but know that it is incredibly unlikely to change.

I’d much rather try to discuss and shape the game in ways that are possible.

Would you mind taking a moment to clarify what ways those might be?
