Guild Wars 2

Many new – and some older – games are doing monthly product manager/community manager/ceo/etc/whatever blogs to the community (Including a direct B2P competitor, TSW). These addresses detail current directions, focuses and aims of the staff, as well as address the month’s concerns and feedback.

It’s long been stated that ANet’s communication to it’s player base is absolutely horrendous, and I think a regular address to the community as a whole would really help in this regard.

Points of interest really doesn’t count, as they don’t address community concerns or feedback, and focus mainly on recent changes, not upcoming changes

This would be nice but with Anets whole silent treatment it’s very VERY unlikely they will do it.

I think they do this as a way to surprise players. Instead of giving us a heads up on what is planned in the future they rather pop out and yell “surprise”, leaving some players always thinking the next surprise will be the big one.

This can be a bad thing because when Anet finally shows up with the big surprise and pops out and yells they are probably going to ask “Where is everyone?”
