Guild Wars 2

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, retired #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

I assume many of you don’t visit the haunted house known as the GW2 general forums aka the 4th floor! Anet is creating a team of Allie Murdocks! Who will be our resident PvP overlord!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

PS Also this thread: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Questions-on-the-Guild-Wars-2-Forum-Specialists-Program/

Guess the budget is shrinking. Now they want unpaid, volunteer workers.

…In addition, all Guild Wars 2 Forum Specialists …must live in the USA and be age 18 or older, for legal reasons.

i thought i’d extract this from the post.

I hope for an american guy, with a lot of experience in spvp (high Tier too) and with an objective judgment.

Like phantaram for example ^^

Complaint n1 the past few months: Anet doesn’t listen, communicate, etc.

This is a good way of creating a better connection between the two.

This was announced days ago, and many people generally think it’s a bad idea. But then everything Anet does is regarded as a bad idea by the general population of forum goes so….

Either way, I don’t know of anyone who has, or is, going to apply. Most of the more known names either don’t live in the US, or don’t want the responsibility.

tbh wow forums did it years ago

I don’t see the problem for volunteering something you like.

just the region gate…:|

Vee Wee would nominate Vee Wee if Vee Wee didn’t have so many infractions! Vee Wee!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

I think they mainly want a brief overview of post statistics, how many of the same threads, same posts; a report on what the majority of the players are talking about. Sometimes the Specialists would have to view large quantities of posts in a large thread; for example.

Being knowledgeable in that area means a person can decipher between which posts makes more sense; the important ones and which posts the community feel are important as a whole and remaining unbias at the same time.

Maybe even answering repetitive threads and posts, acting as a moderator and info man.

Game skill is hardly a requirement.

Wahoo. Bye friends.

People would never take you serious…. I’m pretty sure the Devs don’t want their eyes to bleed when reading your weekly reports, friend.

Hey you edited what I said when you quoted! That’s not very frandly!

Did anyone happen to catch the benefits of the program?

I think it’s a good idea to help bridge the gap. It’s better than silence, no?

From what I can read, there are no benefits.

Additionally, unless these forum specialists are getting some sort of insider/unpublished/priority information, the gap won’t be bridged. Just the same (lack of) information being pushed around in circles.
