How could they even remotely think this is okay?
You want people to get hooked to competitive play and then pause the whole thing for a month and force people to play some unranked clowns show?
I am sick of people playing with a preschool mindset and telling me to “chill because its just unranked”. And would you react to this issue that was made prevalent by streamers during the first week? Nope. We have to wait yet again. Wait until again people stopped playing and matchmaking getting worse and worse due to low player counts.
Can any of you pvp devs either:
- step up their game and do a better job or
- gather the courage to tell the higher ups that the resources they adress are not enough?
The whole system is flawed. Fixes happen way too slow. I see no flexibility whatsoever if players give feedback, changes don’t happen before 3 months later. And balance wise a single person has the job to polish 2 or 3 classes including elite specs in all modes at once. Obviously this will go wrong. Even unemployed people that grind this game all day will admit that they never know multiple classes at a high enough level good enough at the same time in pvp/wvw/pve. You need more people and you need to tell the Arenanet leadership that you need more people.

All these temporary additions to the game are a bad idea.
I don’t feel like the game rewards me for playing all the time, I feel like it’s punishing me for NOT playing all the time. It’s strange to feel like this from a game without a monthly subscription, and to be honest it’s quite annoying.
What’s worse is that it feels like the game has grown at all since release. There has been a ton of content that I will never see, no matter how much time and money I put into this game, just because I was burned out or had real life issues drag me away from playing games.
I’ve left this game twice, and I came back twice. The first time, the S.A.B. played a major role in keeping me interested. The second time I came back only to find out I had missed the 2nd appearance of the S.A.B. and to be frank, I hate that ANet has essentially forbidden me from seeing what was new just because I cannot play all the time.
But what can I do… Well, I’m positing this tread (probably not the first of its kind) to express my dislike for temporary content, and to ask ANet to please stop punishing me for not being able to play all the time. I know it won’t mean much to them or to anyone, but I’m quitting this game, and I will not play another minute or spend another penny on it until this issue gets resolved. It’s pretty much the only thing I can do as a player. I don’t want to come back, and yet again feel like I’ve missed out on a ton of fun things.
3 people capping the close cap point at game start tells me the dailies in general are not encouraging good gameplay.
