Guild Wars 2

I would just like to say that I believe, with all my heart, that Anet and their design and communication philosophy has created an unstable environment. Whereas, when the game first launched, the PvP community was thriving, helpful, and eager to compete; now, we’re a cynical and sarcastic bunch.

The game had so much hype before launch, and not just because of the potential of PvP or gameplay but the potential of the company creating the game. I told so many of my friends statements like this, “This game is going to be amazing, not because of the game necessarily but the fact that it will be polished and re-polished by DEVs that really understand the community”. Boy…was I wrong. I think the transparency, or a clear lack thereof, of this DEV team along with the hollow promises and the “just wait and see what we have in store” statements make me feel duped, not because I believed them, but the fact that I was so adamant before the game launched that THIS company would never do these things. They would be open, honest, and create an environment that would promote a thriving community.

I not only feel angry that the game that I had soooo much hope for is a letdown, but I feel like a gullible old lady being duped by a Nigerian Prince. So many of my friends told me I was naive going into this game, and now they look at me like “that poor gullible soul.”

Just my thoughts, but I feel like posting these on the forums can be therapeutic.

Sounds about right.

Nah was pretty cynical at Beta.

I’m glad I realized this after the November patch.
