My name is Dietere and I love Guild Wars 2. I think you have done some amazing things, one of which includes creating an MMO that my spouse doesn’t hate me for playing! Thank you for what you have done with this game!

I want to speak with you about the current state of World vs. World. Now I know you have been receiving a lot of complaints lately, and many of them are probably justified. Players have been frustrated for quite some time now with the way this game mode has been handled. I’m not going to repeat the complaints, as I am hopeful that someone on your end is reading them. We players tend to get pretty fired up over some of the things that we are experiencing, but it’s only because we see so much potential in this game mode and we really want it to succeed.

For the most part, I believe that your World vs. World players are very dedicated. Week after week, matchup after matchup, we keep heading to the Mists to fight for our worlds, stomp some players, and slap a few yaks. We understand that the rewards aren’t on-par with other game modes; we accept it. We have discussed ad nauseum the issues with balance, and we understand that there are no simple answers. We love that there was a response to our questions about reporting suspected hackers, though we are still yearning for a solution. Despite the various issues that some of us may have with World vs. World, we keep coming back for more. I would go as far as to say that we are among the most dedicated players that you have.

We love you, ArenaNet. Sometimes, though, we don’t like the way you treat us. We understand your “vow of silence” in regards to what you are working on. The ground-breaking things you are trying to accomplish with this game should not be subject to strict deadlines and unfair player expectations. If we never hear anything from you, though, we get frustrated. We have so many unanswered questions.

All that I ask, ArenaNet, is that you let us know that you are there. Show us a sign that you are hearing our voices. Give us a little /wave now and again in the forums. Allow us to see you running around in our Borderlands. Let us know that there is a team actively working on addressing our concerns (or that there isn’t, if that’s the case). Help us see the light at the end of the tunnel before it’s too late.

We need to know that our favorite game mode, World vs. World, has not been forgotten. Many players believe that it has.

We love you ArenaNet.

Talk to us.

ATm there are no Dev’s in WvW. And no current prodjecs actually being worked for wvw. Im not 100% sure but the few ppl that did wvw development were but to LS stuff what was taken from wvw. (siege, walls, gates and so.)

I know i know CDI was there cmon they do that every year. Next CDi will be made for fun next year again when all the wvw ppl who started this years are gone and new ones wont know the last one.

“And you can write what ever on paper.” So makeing this nice leather to anet won’t change anything.

Those of us left in this game mode truly enjoy playing it, even though there hasn’t been any significant changes to the core WvW mechanics since trait lines were introduced (Ruins were a nice addition with Bloodlust, but didn’t really change the way we play due to the lack of visible reward tied in with Bloodlust). We just want some acknowledgement that WvW is still on the agenda for ANet.

I wish to second the proposal that the Dev team make themselves known in-game and in the forums. We need to know that Arenanet hasn’t abandoned a loyal fan base. We hope you guys on the payroll are out there addressing issues. The thing is, we just don’t know that’s true. We’re facing frustrations, cheaters, and hackers that take the fun out of what is otherwise a fantastic experience. Please let us know you’re on it, and give us a glimpse of what’s to come.
