Guild Wars 2

It is honestly completely heartbreaking to see that the devs have so little understanding of how the game works.

There are no healers? EU has been running tankele with the role as a healer (it is by every single sense of the word a healer in teamfights) for months.

Anet not knowing about basilisk bug, etc. qq.

brb gonna farm to r400

Devils inside (x2):
The poor transparency along with anets mistakes made these teams progressively lose more faith in the game. Just like you can see in fellivars posts response, it really doesn’t seem like anet understands the path they’re taking. Anyway, once the team had a bad streak players left. When they left the team(s) had a slow process where they constantly tried different people. Eventually one of the teams more or less collapsed, leaving the players trying to find a team (and being unable to). Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of the once huge DI guild have quit the game now.
Solution: Soloq for the people that couldn’t find a team and kittenING transparency.

You have NO idea how long I could keep going. Do you think I’m even ALMOST done on the list of people I could make? NO, arenanet. The list is kittening massive. I could mention Mace stun, no scrub, get stomped, estars, svarnir ninjas, Jackazzms team, cutthroats and the list goes oooooooon. But I’ll assume that I’ve made my point
This bullkitten of you guys being unable to even post on the forums regularly needs to stop. If it’s a staff issue then hire people. If you cant in your multi million selling game hire some community management then reach out to us. I know of an infinite amount of people, myself included that would gladly do that role for you FOR FREE.

The biggest two problems for this game is:
1. If you want to be competitive in it then you have to play it as if it’s your god kitten JOB. A job where there is no guarantee you’ll get paid in the future aside from your smirking boss saying ‘’in the future we might go into a profit’‘.
2. You guys refuse to talk to us, and you act as if your ’’We don’t want to say a word because we don’t want to commit’’ tactic is working when it’s made thousands of people quit.

Honorable mentions:

shader top1 rbgs wow, multiple glads – went to league
Couldnt fully commit to the game so couldnt be competitive

jackazzm top1 blc with sk gaming, multiple glads wow – Went irl!
Couldnt fullit commit to the game which means that he can’t keep up with team hours which means that he can’t play the game

snurrepig gladiator – went to Trackmania/HoN
-couldnt find team

zavve rank1 ,multiple glads – Went to Dota2
-couldnt find team

Vizone brutalcs admin, counterstrike team sponsored by vital gaming – Went to Cs/HoN
-pvp boring

Madley multiple glad wow – dunno what he is doing now
-“dont see the point in searching for a team, not much to achieve in this game”

Magz multiple glad wow -Went to WoW
-forced to be 5 people, means you have to play at a certain time to enjoy the game

Trigz Rank1(cyclone) in wow, multiple glad, top1 rbgs,
Partially that pvp felt a bit stale, maybe due to not having a team and there wasn’t much else to do for me personally
The promises of ladder system that never came
and then the few people who I played with quitting for other games

The list could go on for so long.

This post is to serve one purpose and it’s to eliminate the gray area arenanet devs keep producing when they respond to our complaints.

Your approach to how to make an esport is WRONG, not different. Man the hell up, admit it, and fix your mistakes.

Oh and..
ehm.
Why the kitten is the wall of champions in the mists still displaying the supposed ‘’beta tourny winners’’, member 1-5? Did you guys plan to have a huge beta tournament which turned out to be impossible without telling us?
AND WHY THE kitten HAS IT BEEN FOUR MONTHS AND STILL NO SIGN OF QP LEADERBOARDS? DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT HOW UNIFNISHED PVP LOOKS FOR NEW PLAYERS?

I’m starting to feel like the ‘’pvp dev team’’ is a myth.
ps: Currently there are four teams I can think of that actively play with five members.
1. Curse
2. TP
3. Bg9
4. Nonstop nonsense

GREETINGS, CITIZENS. I originally planned to make a massive post where I displayed arenanets absolutely awful form of transparency, game issues, questionable design choices and a ton of other things. But this has been done before (and better), mainly by Follidus. If you have not already, read his post here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/The-possibility-of-an-outreach-program/first

You could also read arenanets response to see what part of the game suffers from now.

ANYWAY, the point of my thread is something different, I’m going to mention all the aspiring teams and players that have quit the game (and why) that I can think OFF THE TOP OFF MY HEAD. I can’t guarantee that all of these players left specifically because of the reasons I mention, but I can say that the vast majority of them have, and the rest left at least partially because of them.

TEAMS:
Team Pika:
The team followed the usual process. One player left another player got an invite from a team (dislocation to no scrub iirc) and since this game has no potential for a solo player to be competitive the three other players in the team, meaning that the three other players had to abandon the game and go back to WoW after some time of trying to find a team.

Solution that would have kept them in game: SoloQ

Team Synthetic Gods/Myrevenge
This team followed almost exactly the same formula as above. The team became far less active due to disgruntlement because they had absolutely no info on esport at all aside from a pathetic blog post which took months to come out on. When the team dropped in activity and efficiency because of this one player left, two of the players n the team tried to find a new one but they were unable to and guess what? Lack of soloQ? No official ratings? Good luck making yourself known out there to other good teams!

Solution: soloQ and transparency

Team FT:
This teams disappearance was rather recent. These were players that had been playing for as long as I. They eventually quit because they assumed arenanets stance on actually telling us what the hell is happening was arenanet not caring.

Team SuperSquad:
Surely you’ve heard of these, yes arenanet? Same story as the one with myrevenge. There were members that were not as committed due to how the game was going. With the lack of proper ladder there is no real goal and there is nothing that kept the team to stay competitive. Two of the members joined another team (guess which!) and one quit the game due to not believing arenanet any more on their esport claims. The other two were unable to find a team. And yet AGAIN, I want to repeat this point: If you don’t have a team then you CANNOT play the game competitively. Your silly idea of a soloQ is not going to change that. And as long as you don’t announce that you’re going to make a proper solo q people that are unable to find a team will CONTINUE TO LEAVE!

Solution: Transparency that would keep them motivated (they’ve been dedicated to this game since beta), a solo q (are you starting to see a pattern?)

Team legacy:
Another previous big name. They, too, lost faith in arenanet with their claim that they’d make this an esport. They believed it was just a lie to make the sales increase.
Solution: Talk to us!

Alright then, sorry for misunderstanding.

I really do appreciate that you guys take your time with the community and give us some light on what’s happening.

I hope you’ll keep an eye out on the community response on your stance on soloq!
