Q:

Let me start by saying that I am not a coder. I am not a game developer. I do not have any background in the world of game development, so when I ask this, know it is coming from someone who is sincerely curious.

To ArenaNet, from myself and quite a few people in this forum section (Mac beta)

“Is there plans, true plans that are underway or about to become underway, at making a ‘native’ client?”

A lot of Users (myself included) have experienced issues since Mac Beta client launch. I myself, have come to the conclusion that a port like the one we currently use, will never run as effective as the clients running on a Windows machine. This is just the way it is.

It would do us a great service, and help us with making hard decisions, if you gave us an Official answer (other then “we’re looking into all options”).

I am sorry if this isn’t accurate in being posted in the Mac Beta Client Tech Support section.

Please, for anyone who thinks I’m just wasting my time asking this because they wouldn’t give us a definitive answer, I understand this.
Someone should ask, and keep asking, until we do get an answer.

Thank You for reading

+1 because i don’t feel like a port is a realistic version of a “beta”. I’ve said it in my last 2 comments in other threads. I am of the opinion that all of us Anet customers that are on Apple computers to stop spending money in the BLTP altogether. From what i’ve read it won’t be very had sense it’s not working for a lot of people.

They answered this question during their event around PAX this last summer. Basically, the mac client is not a priority and the implication was that it probably won’t be unless major factors change.
