Guild Wars 2

As of right now most of the top posts in this subforum are about how ArenaNet “ruined” SAB with the most recent update. I don’t post to the forums frequently, but I have to say that at this moment I have to call out this behavior.

The devs simply can’t win with you guys: cater to the players who want difficult content, and complaints will follow about how content is too difficult; compromise by making the content a NORMAL DIFFICULTY like it was supposed to be, and suddenly complaints rise up from the other end of the spectrum.

SAB normal mode was always meant to cater to the 90% of the playerbase that play the game casually. Complaints about how there was a huge difficulty spike between worlds and unfair bugs were at least valid. Now that these issues have been addressed, people are spouting “filthy casuals” with no remotely valid arguments. So you got through World 2 before the patch and maybe got a shiny new weapon skin. Does this update erase your progress? Does it take away your skin? No, all that’s hurt here is your pride, and you need to learn to suck it up. No one’s ever going to ask you for proof when you say you completed W2 before it got easy.

If you want more difficult content, just look towards Trib mode or new worlds further down the line; the devs shouldn’t be hearing whining from players that are comparable to that of little kids.

Everyone convenes in the upper level of Divinity’s Reach, anxiously waiting to hear what the Queen will announce.

Once all the emissaries have gathered on the stage, Queen Jennah appears, greeted with applause.

“Friends of Tyria, as you all know, this ceremony has been held to celebrate the unity of our forces. With this theme in mind, I cannot think of anyone else who I would rather deliver this news than…Trahearne.”

The curtains part and the Firstborn steps forward into a sea of whispers.

“My friends, it is my pleasure to announce that we have finally rid Orr of the Risen and permanently put a stop to Zhaitan’s influence. With the help of Queen Jennah, we will begin rebuilding Orr into the great city that it once was. Additionally, we will use Asuran technology capable of recreating the battles that we have fought (for those who haven’t finished the PS). Let us never forget the feats that can be achieved when we work as one!”
