What forum is for
Most players who are “bashing” the game actually give a kitten but are usually told to just leave by the playerbase.
I wouldn’t worry about those who are here bashing the game, worry about when they don’t care enough to come back.
Those that are enjoying the game aren’t sat on the forums playing keyboard warrior, they’re in-game enjoying it. A key thing to remember, if all the happy players took the same time to post as those who sit on here bashing the game do, the forums would be awash with positive feedback.
Unhappy customers are always the most vocal, and usually have an agenda.
You should see wow forums then if you think this is bad.
we can also say positive things we liked in forum so anet knows we loved them and continue it and impower them and well expand them, also ofc critical is nececery but not like thise with some insulting and so negative and very unpolite , this is destruction not helping to rebuild things went wrong and fix them
for me I would like to come to a forum to chat about things that we do in the game, things that can be improved with people that love the game – after all why else would you be posting on a gaming forum. However this and other forums are plagued with the ‘I dont like something so its fail’ noise by those who just cant recognize when that the internet and mmorpgs do not revolve around their personal tastes.
Its the equivalent of myself walking into a party filled with people chatting, singing, doing stuff and generally being entertained and me standing in a box in the middle and shouting ‘that music is rubbish, oh i don’t like the carpet, oh the food is same as it was last year, THIS IS FAIL!’

OP,
I tried both Archage and Wildstar, and you know what? For AA and WS, I didn’t even both going to the forums to be “negative”. I didn’t care enough about either game to even bother trying to provide “critical feedback” to the developers.
When people stop posting negative things to the GW2 forum, then the game is truly dead. That will mean that they no longer care about the game, and have moved on. Anet knows this and they are big boys and girls.
Negative posts at least mean that people still care. The F2P people who downloaded the game in the last couple of months and didn’t like it are not the people making the negative posts.
the ‘the game is failing’, Hot is a failure, the game will fail, I’m never playing again, its a scam etc etc etc nonsense is not debate by people who are passionate about the game, its something else, you see it in lots of gaming forums. Years ago if you don’t like a game you just moved on and picked a game you enjoyed, nowadays some feel they need to post on forums and blame the ‘devs’, ‘casuals’, ‘hardcore’ anyone else for why they don’t enjoy a game through bought as if they have no responsibility for their own selections.
Worse than this, they don’t seem to comprehend in mmorpg the genre is all about a shared virtual world – they want the game to magically match everyone’s desires at all times with no compromise – they are entitled to it and can prove it with personal anecdotes that prove the game is bad.

Just skip / ignore threads / posts u find annoying and let people speak their minds. Will make ur life easier. I promise.
Also do not ever think u are capable of judging anyone’s decisions over anything.
we r not judging any1 and telling no1 what to do, what i simply mean is some people’s goal is to help the game that isnt the way ,
but if theyr goal is destruction and phsychological war they r doing good …. ofc every1 is free to say what they think in forum and what they have exprienced but we all love this game , and coz of that i feel the need to stand up against such things ,
i simply would want people to think twice before they write , sure if i play the x class in pvp and lose 10 times in row ill be so angry and a very bad thing to do is to come to the forum and say things like fail…or idk u can get anoyed by many things in many games sometimes u try for hours for things and u still fail but that doesnt make the whole expansion fail,
those kind of imidiet emotional reaction sure makes u see the whole game bad but that isnt true, n ofc after people like me who see many negative posts when i first play the game or even redo what i already did i watch it as a fail thing in my mind and i keep loking for reasons to say aha!!! thats true they faid ,
that makes people only see the empty half of the glass wich in this case this empty part is a veryyy small part of the game , and keep in mind they have years ahead of them to fix didnt go as they planed , the core gw 2 we all have is 3 years old and 3 years of polishing and balancing , and im sure for hot it can be the same.
for poiting out things wich went wrong and things wich needs to be mybe balanced and things wich needs to be better there is better way than saying exp is fail and things like that ,

Right because free to play players can’t access the forums. lol
