They have repeatedly stated “all of them”.

Remember, they don’t always fly the Anet guild tag…

It’s obviously not a lie, they just aren’t obliged to fly the Anet tag when they run. What’s so hard to grasp about that?

haha are you suggesting Anet devs play wvw??? On the very odd occasion I have seen an Anet tag in wvw and I play wvw almost exclusively…
It would surely give us more confidence if we knew that devs regularly ran in wvw and appreciated what made wvw fun.

Don’t expect an answer from Anet on this forum….it has been stated that they read it but that we should not expect them to reply.

Well, I can understand the trouble by putting a giant target on one’s head; wouldn’t be fun, considering the thread about pin sniping.

And of course there’s always the complaints too; fits being thrown because of alleged bias (claiming objectives for the Anet guild). Some examples:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/Objective-Claiming-by-ANeT-unprofessional/6254949

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/wuv/ANET-Seriously-1/5547327

I understand that some of you know Anet would understand the game better if they actually play it and fears of Anet mysteriously showing preference to a server would do more harm than help. If you do, you’re probably a reasonable human being, but unfortunately there are many others that don’t think like this and wear tin foil hats.

Anyhow, I’m aware YB has one, and on SBI I recall being helped by one too when I was newer to the game.

Commanders have to deal with pin snipe all day everyday so the dev’s should experience that too!
But valid point in that they do get swamped with chat and whispers when they do appear so they are probably all running incognito. I hope they are doing this on every server and in comms so that they can experience first hand what players experience and therefore make some improvements to wvw.

Personally, the idea of an Anet map blob sounds funny.

Devs play on a lot of different worlds and move around frequently and that includes the WvW team. However, the WvW team also plays together on a different random world once a week.

Just wondering when we will be able to disable squad nameplates in PvE. Probably not the right place but I dont really care. For us mid – level computer users, 30+ nameplates during a huge boss fight is a giant FPS loss. claps

We had two lovely Devs join our WvW raid squad on Aurora Glade last tuesday. I was shamefully starstruck. they were very helpful answering questions my Guildies asked, and I hope they enjoyed the fights we had (and fun we had testing out the new DBL shrine hoppers)

Have you thought about delay streaming, or putting up videos?

putting it up on a 30 minute delay stream would help mitigate people complaining that you dont care about WvW without having to actually do anything i mean setting up a stream takes 30 minutes then just 30 seconds to turn it on and off when you play

This could go a long way to improve the player-dev communications. They (Anet) could do this several different ways.

1. Choose a server and guild to run with and record your interactions with the host
2. Choose a server and run with a pugmander and record your play.
3. Choose a server and run small team and record your play.
4. Have several Anet WvW team players join up on different sides of the same map and record your play.

You can do this tagged or untagged.
You can do this once a week, sometimes on weekends, sometimes on weekdays.
Maybe the WvW team’s bosses will let them play during normal work hours so they can play during all timezones.

Each of these could be posted on the forums and you can have comments (hopefully constructive) about each video.

These could turn into a regular WvW AMA topic.

yeah we saw you guys running with Tork last week on TC for reset. There were 5 total Anet devs

Hasnt done a kitten thing for dev/player relations. TC was manually adjusted last week to put us back in tier 1 even though our server is dead. This week against mag and BG we got rolled because of very low population and for tonights reset we now have a 26% chance of tier 1 again when last week we only had a 5% chance.

AND TC IS STILL LOCKED.. has been for like 6 months.. while mag and BG are open and they are ALREADY HUGE

This idea that they are doing this to improve player/dev relations is just stupid.

Wouldn’t Anet like to merge all servers in 3 alliances so that all employees can play together?

I know me and my friends lost interest in WvW because we are all scattered on different servers and we can’t play with each others.

so when anet dev team is playing together once a week
is it done for leisure or for work purpose like surveying the server or sizing out the skills/builds?

90% of the time I play on EU, and have never seen a dev while playing. I occasionally play on my NA account, and have seen devs there 5-6 times. I’d say they mostly play on NA, or my timing is really extraordinary.

On Duty it’s true, you guys can be found everywhere but off duty?

What about the years of having certain Guilds on Blackgate knowing the Patchdetails long before the first official announcements?

What about the many times when that Server recruited Guilds and once these Guilds were ready to transfer the Server opened for a short time?

What about the times where Patches answered the general demands of certain Blackgate Guilds?

A few dozen times too obvious for a simple “We play everywhere” Story.
