Guild Wars 2

Folks,

We really need to organize and have threads with cohesive discussion and not just complaining and moaning about the situation (latest patch and prior ones, broken skills/traits, et al.). There are countless excellent posts on these forums but we need to be organized and take the situation to Reddit. I have seen numerous posts here suggesting that the devs really only care/read about GW2 on Reddit. We need to take our fight there.

We should cherry-pick a number of suggestion threads, copy/paste them into posts on Reddit to ensure we are seen/heard. In addition, I almost feel as though we need an Representative. We need someone who knows the class inside-out and has been here since the beginning. This person can help us put important data together to be part of our posting.

Thoughts?

Folks,

I have seen numerous posts here suggesting that the devs really only care/read about GW2 on Reddit.

You forgot that those posts are actually the most stupid comments. What do you see in reddit from devs?
Well GM talks about tickets and bans. Peter (Fries) teases some jokes about story characters, Dara making the most puns she can, Benjamin explaining some Fractal changes (but he gives some insights if not copy/pastes here), Ruby trying to get what people want to be discussed in Guildchat, Linsey giving some behind the curtain insight on how things were designed and some people from QA acknowledging some bugs.
Basically, reddit has as many threads about balance, complains which get no answers at all. The reason for it is that every single sentence said by a dev about design is taken in the meanest way possible to explain something totally unrelated. Remember the “stepping stone” to raids? Well it got discussed here as “they do not care about Fractals anymore”… I would honestly avoid any comment if I were them, or at least make some comments with an alt account hoping somebody will ever try to look at a single issue in a different manner.
So lead a crusade on reddit if you think it’s worth it but do not get your hopes too high.

I’ d say if nothing else it can’t hurt to try. It either gets read and noticed or it doesn’t, but at least the attempt was made.
As far as an “expert” only one I can think of that has been a huge help to me and othes would be Xyonon. I think there are some other very qualified folks as well but can’t think of the names so step up folks, be heard maybe and perhaps something positive will come of it.

If just wolfie was still with us…
