Remember that the ANet guild is (iirc) available too everyone that works at ANet. Be they Engine Programmers, Desk Clercks, Janitors, or Sales Department, Artists, etc.
Most of those doesn’t have a thing to do with the actual game play itself, so lets say that the Janitor decides to tag up the ANet guild and claim a tower, and lay down a couple of cata’s, does that really matter ?
It isn’t like the ANet guild gives any advantages and powers, other than the fancy red “Target icon” visible to your enemies
If anything I’d congratulate them for being brave enough to represent their ANet guild, because every time I’ve seen one in WvW the enemies comes in waves to gank them.
Don’t know for certain, but assuming that their admin/mod accounts are separate from the ANet-guild.
If you see an ANet dev on your server, its because they’re normal people who play the game too when they’re not working. ANet devs don’t take sides in WvW in any official manner, they just have ingame toons, sometimes they go to WvW, sometimes they claim stuff. That’s why you’ll only see them in NA primetime, rarely on EU primetime even in EU servers, or OCX/SEA times. They’re employees at ANet who go home after a long day of work and open up GW2 to chill and some of them play WvW.
It’s all a matter of your servers. For instance, I know there’s one guy who plays on SoS pretty regularly. He’s the one who claimed Air Keep for SoS today, I believe.
There’re no representatives. No select groups. Just individuals playing a game and using the ArenaNet guild in the same way as any other guild.
You got that exactly right. A lot of us play on our own time, and we have no special “dev secret skillz” to help a team in any capacity.
A wild ninja dev apears… i ment Ranger >:}
And Anet devs have special skills, its called “play squishy and gank targets”
Pitty that some players didnt liked when devs conquered a few towers.

As someone who plays a dual-bow Ranger, I never critize someone else’s build. That way lead me down the path of embarrassment and humiliation.

Deppends if its pvp, its needed to criticize others and self build.

The advice I get is “Don’t play dual bow.” That’s not going to work for me. So yeah, critiques and improvement are important, but for me, there’s a limit!

Understandable :\ been using mace shield in my DH, not using traps and not using bow as well.
Actually using mace shield combo for 4 years.
And @OP NSP used to have few devs as well.

dual bow? dual bow, Dual.. bow? two bow?
the more i think about your super secret strat the more i wanna try it

I am NSP. Have been since the beginning. I bounce around a lot, but that’s “home.”

I can’t say I highly recommend it, but I absolutely love it. It suits me enormously. And in my defense, I’m not a “Mash 1” player. I have a full range of skills and I know how to use them. Even if they may be a little weak from time to time. 
@Gaile Gray i know
Frosty, Wub were also in NSP, and ive seen in the past(WvW) some dev using a very skinny/small charr, as well very squiiiishy elementalist, some one told me was Devon, i got him up about the max rezes possible before he got ported to spawn.
One thing that we players cant complain is Anet presence at WvW.

Perhaps you could regale us with a discourse, or even offer lessons, on the ways of the dual-bow. As a single-bow user, I feel I have much to learn.
My ranger runs around with a short bow, a sword, and an axe. I only wield the last two if I press a button by mistake, which then causes me to run around for 10 seconds not knowing what to do (seriously, I have a bow that shoots tigers; why would I ever use a sword?). But having a second bow in case my finger slips? That’s intriguing.

Just so you know… playing two bows of the same type doesn’t get you anything since the cooldown is there whether or not you switch.
Using Longbow and Shortbow on the other hand with Ranger/Druid is a lot of fun (for me anyway). People say damage is not useful anymore but they’re not right there. With this combo I have two super useful weapons and they are able to do some very nice power-downs. More often than not I have people running away from me instead of standing and fighting… and with 1500 range… that’s not a smart thing to do…

How many Sup ACs can you man at once?
Anet employees are definitely among us. Like those gorillas in the mist. Midst? Yes. I remember on TC a few years ago (closer to 3 I imagine) it was much more common to see Anet tags out running around. I still find that happens during bigger events.
In reality though a lot of Anet folks (not necessarily devs) play the game. You just don’t know.

Strange that I haven’t seen you in WvW on NSP. I haven’t seen an Anet Tag or claim on NSP in many, many months. Do any devs that may play on NSP attempt to be a part of the server “community”? TS and such?
dev do not have to run with there anet tag on. dev we run with on yak we always ask them to put on there tag just to make other sever salty LOL

That is a thing that i nerver understood… even when they claymed stuff on the 2 servers i was fighthing some players wich actually were from the other servers got mad at each other behavior of Anet..
I would love to see more structure claimed by Anet, and preferable if they stay defending them :}.
