Guild Wars 2

Its time to abandon your closed door policy on development and engage your wvw community. Many of us waited for the blog post this year hoping you would shine some light on the changes you had in mind. Only to have the quick fixes mentioned in December parroted back at us.

Its pretty unreasonable for you to expect us to hang around till the 4th quarter of 2016 playing a broken game mode. Without even an inkling of whats to come. I understand you don’t like to make promises and you shouldn’t. There needs to be a bit of back and forth tho, or you can continue pouring development into more features/changes that the bulk of the wvw player base don’t want.

You should show us your cards now. Tell us the changes you want to make now and let us react to it. Give our feedback before you’ve spent the better part of the year putting time and resources into it. Slapping the word “Beta” on a couple of week ends we get access to almost 2 years worth of development before you ship it anyway, is PR BS that wont fly anymore.

Couldn’t agree more. WvW “development” seems more and more like a serious misallocation of talent and resources. The need for developer player collaboration is painfully obvious in regards to WvW. The fact that this trend of doubling back on it has continued for so long isn’t helping either. My guild has gone from hundreds to a handful due largely to the state of this game mode. This game mode is in a fragile position. It is salvageable, but you need help from your community that frequent this game mode. If we keep heading in our current direction rick roll the almighty meme destroyer will surely reap our souls.

ANET killed WvW with their incompetence and arrogance. There are a few stragglers left in WvW, trying to make it work, but it’s a hopeless cause.

ANET will never do what is necessary to make WvW work, or even return it to it’s old state where it was passable. They aren’t even a good gaming company any more. The real talent is gone. and their “manifesto” is a lie.

They don’t deserve our support or respect.
