Beta tests are never for your conveniance get that through your head already. You can keep whining that you think the times sucked, but these kinds of short tests have to be held during anet working hours meaning crap times for a lot of people.

This is getting rediculous
I mean seriously what exactly would have changed for anyone?
seriously how did this effect you exactly?
Tell me how did this not affect people that bought the game solely because it was stated it was needed for HoT before they changed it? Sure it might not be many, but that’s a different discussion all together.

The thing is you aren’t paying for much, new specs and that’s pretty much it, untill those new specs are being ballanced you can catch flies with your tongue, and watch your money go to waste., you are not paying for something tested and working properly which is something common for MMO’s. This price is ridiculous, is this EA or Ubisoft, with their upcomming DLC’s? Ask yourself that question. This is why GW2 was never popular outside NA/EU. Korean market holds the biggest MMO’s and you know why? They hold a value, this is money milking, once again ask yourselves for what changes you are paying and here its not a question of being a fan of the game or not, its about the value that you are paying for and what you are geting out of it, which is nothing except more unballanced classes and months of QQ post’s in forums about stuff. It happened before it will happen again.
“Korean market holds the biggest MMO’s and you know why? They hold a value”
That right there just killed it for me. Korean MMO’s are so good that they all end up being P2W and a huge Grindfest for BIS Gear .
Yup, people are being huge hypocrites. On one hand, they scoff at P2W MMOs that nickle and dime you for much less effort in content generation but on the other hand, praise such tactics and take offense to a company trying to make a cash return after giving its players a means of never needing to spend a dime to get access to everything the game has to offer.
You’re not just paying for HoT, you’re also paying for the elite specialization system that will continue to be expanded upon ON TOP of not having to spend anything else for any further released non-expansion content.
I have some clay to sell you, some time in the future I might turn it into a house.
There are a million better ways to make money of a playerbase and expand it. It’s just Anet doesn’t give a crap, because it would involve, gosh, actual work. This expansion is way to light on content to justify this price. They’ve said it themselves already. There won’t be a lot of real content it will mostly be features.
The Adopt-a-Dev program is a voluntary program. The developers who participate do so in their own free time and they choose from the guilds who apply to the program. If you want to see more developers participating in the lower tiers, then encourage more of the lower-tiered guilds to apply.
The adopt a dev program seems like a good thing and its nice to see developers get out into the community.
The bigger issue, however, comes when you tout the program as a development tool or aid. If that is the intent, then effort should be made to make sure you’re getting a full and fair picture of WvW – not just the situations on the higher tier servers.
So, if the intent is just to get devs out into the community and mingling, that’s fine. If it is to help gather information about WvW, then I think you have to be mindful to ensure youre not focusing on one or two servers more than any others.
Hopefully, more devs will decide to look at the lower tiers next time (and I know that there are several lower tier server guilds that applied and weren’t chosen this past time around). That said, if the majority of developers are interested in playing on only the top tier servers, then that alone is indicative of the population issues we on the lower tiers are very much aware of.
I will make sure to stress the importance of spreading out among all the tiers when this comes around again. But, neither I nor John can force their decisions in a voluntary program.
I did, however, want to clear up the misconception that nobody was playing on the lower tiers during this past tournamnet, because I know for a fact that some were and brought back feedback that directly relates to the experiences on the lower end.
We understand and have seen the feedback regarding the proposed white swords change and the team is discussing that feedback.
Well give us some transparency and publish which servers had devs and how big the guilds were they were a part off. Let’s see how biased the viewpoint the devs got has been.
Get off your lazy rear end and look at the stickied post

Took all of 2 mins, you’re welcome.
Somehow I doubt every dev made an announcement.
