Guild Wars 2

When I saw that they merged all the threads about commander tag color together the thing that I thought was :

They don’t want to hear about it, they won’t change anything, they won’t take into account any suggestion and it was merged to make it less annoying

Now, maybe it wasn’t the intention but that was the feeling that I got.

Let’s talk about merging.

Having multiple threads on a subject versus one massive thread is a HUGE difference. It’s NOT the same thing at all.

The first post in a thread give a direction to the thread. It is usually the most read and important post in a thread since the communication of the rest of the thread will be around that post.

When you merge everything, you lose all directions for the conversation and it becomes a big mess.

Need an example? CDI process…

It was impossible to communicate effectively our ideas and get good feedback from the community because you put everything in one big thread.

If there was multiple threads you would easily has seen what feature was more important for the community, but since it was all in one big thread, all you got was hundred of players not bothering to read each other wall of text.

Now, I can agree that you don’t want to fill the WvW section with only one subject, so that’s a valid concern for regrouping things together, but merging is not the solution.

The solution would be to create a temporary sub-forum for example.

better question is why all the work to merge the threads…but zero interaction with us by the WvW developers? They just launch these surprises without really any discussion with the WvW player base….. If you want to raise the price to 300 gold for the Commander tag thats fine… but then to ask for 300 gold more for each color is just Insane.

As a WvW player I have only had 200+ gold (and just barely) ONCE in the 700 or so days I have played this game… it is simply a fact if you play WvW and defend alot you are on the POOR side….our Commanders who blow tons of money for siege etc…and most of us donate siege too…all of that costs money. Dont get me started on this Siege Disabler where it will likely decimate the Defense of those towers……For goodness sakes make the Tower walls etc IMMUNE to this “trick”….

Dedicated WvW Players are probably as tired as I am of being the “afterthought”.

Merging a thread is like take all the noisy people and put together in one room, close it and let them scream and cry all what they want to the four walls.

Anet is mad with us because we are “against them in everything” and “we only want to attack them”. That’s is exactly what authoritarian governments things about the people or the opposition, no matter how good their arguments are about a problem.
