Signing off with disappointment – a Silver Rank WvW player from Jade Quarry.

Anyone else wants to thank Anet?

At least make a few suggestions(they don’t even have to be good) if you are going to make a thread to complain. So no, I don’t want to “thank Anet.”

At least make a few suggestions

They made a tonne of suggestions there:

1) Update WvW with real content
2) Stop being so obsessive on forums
3) Add more varied events for WvW
4) Listen to everyone not just T1
5) Do something other than PvE
6) Do something to bring old players back
7) People are leaving this game by the boatload do something!

Are we supposed to give the dev ideas, well we have! But still nothing in 2 years!

I went back and checked the OP’s history just because I thought his their seemed familiar and found this.

I’m a loyal player in Jade Quarry Server for 2 years, and I WvW alot after collecting my achievements and legendaries. Other than the mindless farming in PvE, i really love the idea of countless opportunities in WvW fights. WvW is the thing that keeps me and my friends to come back.

I understand this is a free content, but many people are really unsatisfied with WvW. Please just make some minor changes or update the WvW borderland and battleground maps. Or at least add in interesting content.

Solution:
- Expand the Eternal Battleground and Borderland Maps to encourage people to spread out. Make full use of sanctuary to encourage people to scout and protect their towers
- Have different themes like Halloween or Dragon Festival once in a while for Eternal Battleground/Borderlands Maps. Improve the graphic and visual of the maps to encourage people to stay and play.
- Make it feel like the Lion Arch Story, if we did not protect our borderland/keeps from the enemies, the whole city would destroy and citizens would suffer. Include some stories inside.
- There are many more ideas that you guys could brainstorm.

Imagine yourself sticking on the same WvW ground for 2 years, doing the same fights all the time. Arenanet, the only thing that keeps us going is our committee, and it is deteriorating. I hope something can be done to this, give us some love for players in WvW. That’s all I’m asking, i’m patient enough to wait for 2 years, but my urge to quitting is on the line.?

This is what I mean by suggestions. The OP identified an issue(just like they did n the first post) and then expanded upon it. These are suggestions that are actually helpful. Just complaining about issues and saying fix it is silly.

I understand that people have been making suggestions for the past two years but that doesn’t mean they can’t keep doing it. Heck, pull up your old threads and post your idea again and they will see a lot of new discussion. I’d bet that some people’s ideas sound even better than they did a year ago and people would love to talk about them again.

Threads like this are useless, but the thread that I took this quote from that was made 10 days ago? Great stuff. Keep coming out with threads like that and less complaint threads and we might see change. Maybe not, but at least the forums will look a lot friendlier.

Players are complaining because WvW is far from a casual game as Anet claimed it to be when there are players with thousands of hours of play time and playing over 10 hours a day.

These players obviously have better understanding of the game, better gears, and better organization. And they can out last most of the casual players and make the game less fun for them. Moreover some of them are arrogant and look down on causal players and making WvW unwelcoming for them.

However, only a small number of players can afford this kind of time commitment for the game. And without easy kills some of these players found it boring as well and left.

Why should Anet spent more time in WvW when it is populated most of the time by a special interest game with few seasoned players have many hours a day to play?

Why he should make a suggestion? He is not working in Anet. Is not his work. The game is passing through a serious wvw issues. Is not the player’s job to fix it through suggestions.

And Anet have a LOT of suggestion in the huge amount of CDI in this forum. Suggestion that they didn’t listen.

Thank you anet for making people wonder where you picked up the idea for removing white swords!

He should make a suggestion because adding another complaint thread is pointless. Post more in the other complain threads if you just want to vent. I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t want to come to the forums as an ANet dev just to see a bunch of complaint threads. It doesn’t make the devs more likely to change anything. However, if the devs only see a bunch of threads with ideas on how to change things and other good natured threads, I’m sure we’d see even more interaction.

I’m not saying that it will work to be nice with ANet, but it certainly won’t help to keep complaining. The pve threads get a bunch of Anet discussion. The profession forums don’t. What is the difference in those subforums? The pve people are a heck of a lot nicer. The profession forums are as toxic as this place was when the match-up threads were shut down. This might suggest that the devs are more likely to respond in environments where they won’t be called incompetent every time they poke their nose into a thread. You can see these in a lot of threads that the devs respond to in the wvw forum. Some dev will take part in a discussion for a few pages but then all the responses turn into complaints and the dev magically disappears for a few pages.

I have just as many complaints with this game as the next guy, but making more threads for the sole purpose of saying I’m not happy is not how to do it.

I believe a new set of maps would bring a lot of people back to WvW in GW2, at least for a few weeks, to try it out and learn how they are different and work.

Y Not as the voice of reason? There’s something wrong here…

and you feel that people should just repeat ideas over and over again? I don’t know if you were involved with either of the first 2 WvW CDIs. Many, many ideas were given. ANET participated very minimally and then nothing was implemented. The OP has a right to be cynical at this point. It is really up to ANET to deliver now.
