”After his stint is up”
Bear in mind, the forum “specialist” thing is across all the forums and not just for WvW. Honestly, the big issues and most of the smaller issues are fully known, and if there is a single dev that doesn’t already understand what needs to be done in WvW you can be sure nothing that Marmatt does is going to impact that dev. The forum specialist thing is cheap window dressing, nothing more…. nothing against Marmatt I am sure he will be diligent and try to be helpful.

The forum specialist program was announced to the whole forum via this post in the News and Announcements section and more than adequate time was given for applications to be sent in.
Now, we are not having a discussion on how you feel about who was chosen, because he has yet to have the time to submit a single report yet. If you feel disregarded, blame the others who do post here for not submitting an application.
Now, the WvW forum is not to discuss the merits of this program or those who have been chosen to represent each game mode. If you had been paying attention, you would notice that Marmatt is attempting to reach out and work with the players who do post here, despite the less-than-warm welcome that he has been greeted with.
Consider that he is a volunteer and is acting as a forum specialist in his own free time and of his own free will. To me, that means something. To me, this means that he’s committed to our goal of improving communication between players and the development team. If you think he doesn’t know enough about the game mode to accurately represent your interests, then talk to him. Explain your passions and why you feel the way you do. You might be surprised at how receptive he is.
Now, this is the last time I’m explaining this. We’re not having more threads about Marmatt or why he was chosen and not somebody else who may not have submitted an application. Instead, try working with him, and if you want to apply in the future, keep your eyes on the areas where we make forum-wide announcements.
We are serious about communication, but there appear to be a lot of people who would rather complain about communication than actually attempt to communicate.
