I know it’s hard to empathize over the internet, but try to imagine the millions of jobs that don’t require people to do that, and then imagine that we do it anyway because we’re so passionate about this game.
Please do not belittle that.
That’s the exact reason why when I see anyone from ANet in game I take a moment to say thank you for being there and for all the hours of hard work to make this game what it is.
It’s all too easy on the internet to forget that there are people behind those name tags, with real emotions, feelings, opinions, etc. We (gamers) tend to take it all for granted too often.
So thank you, Allie, and all of you guys at ArenaNet for your continued efforts towards making this game the best it can be.
