Firstly I would like to apologise to anyone who has offended or hurt by my previous posts, it was never my intention, I had no idea that my post would project such negativity; the chaos that ensued was not calculated nor intended.
I made those posts as a general outlook at some of the problems that exist in Guildwars 2, most of which were apparent and old news for most of the Guildwars PvP community; my intention was that some form of positive debate would follow, where ideas would be bounced around and people could reflect onto ArenaNet how they would like to see these problems solved.
Although I do understand those problems are common knowledge, I also understand that these forums exist as a medium between the community and developers; as I am aware that the developers do understand the problems with their game and probably have far more comprehensive knowledge about their game than myself, but this is the only thing in my power as a player trying to assist a game I once loved. I doubt that anyone who actively participates in these forums wishes to see this game fail, but people just express themselves in different ways thats the beauty of being human.
However I now understand that I made a mistake, I had not realised how far the PvP community had degraded, I couldn’t possibly fathom such a reaction.
I am by nature hopelessly positive, and it does at times cloud my judgement, anyone who has ever watched us stream can vouch for this, I see hope when we are down 400 points and 3 capped.
Regardless, I would like to extended my sincerest apology to the developer’s and the rest of the community.
I wish to see this game succeed, I love this game as much as anyone else; just because I have decided to depart doesn’t mean I harbour any ill-intent.
I also have the deepest respect for both Jonthan Sharp and Jon Peters, I have had the pleasure of speaking to both, and I can assure you guys they love this game, and they love the community, sadly their hands are tied and I am sure if they were given the resources, there would be no better e-sport out there.
I understand how a lot of you feel, but Chaos and flaming will not solve anything, there are better ways to go around communicating; I say this because trust me I have been in the same situation as you guys for the past year, and I know exactly how you feel, but lets not try and destroy what little we have.
Two wrongs will never make things right.
Thank you.
Mr Mod please spare my thread.
Off to chase cars and broken dreams.
