I’m happy to see this thread…but i have to agree with one thing, a lot of people said before.
It’s just too late.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not kittening around or something and yes I know that there will be people who say: “A-Net is finally talking with us, don’t complain and be happy about that!”…and i perfectly understand such statemants because they’re coming from people who are still hoping for the best. I’m not one of them (anymore) so it’s natural that there are opposite meanings.
You know i buyed Gw2 without a second of thinking about that decision. Most of the people who played Guild Wars 1 did….i’m pretty sure about that.
Not just it was an AWESOME game and we all wanted MORE of this, but because we had absolute trust in Arenanet.
They delivered awesome content, took care of their fans and joined the forums.
So there was no need in thinking about buying Gw2…I just did because i trusted Arenanet and knew they would deliver something awesome.
…you know it is hard to gain this trust but Arenanet earned it, and with that a big, loyal fanbase.
But.
You (Arenanet) are going the wrong way for a few months now. I don’t know why and what happened so you took such a wrong turn. And i’m not talking about your content.
There are many problems and if you read your forums you’ll see them. There’s no need for me in pointing them out, even though there are plenty of threads.
What i can do is telling you why I finally lost my trust in you (And i’m really sad about that.).
First: Talking about “coming features” or heavy game-changes…you know these things really need to be accepted (or acknowledged) by your fans BEFORE you integrate it into the game…but this is not the main problem. What your biggest mistake about that was:
You lied to us.
I can perfectly live with short changes or things changing after they were announced different but there is just no way you can promise something to your fans and then just don’t even give a kitten about your own words or what it’s meaning to your fans.
Don’t know what i’m talking about? That would be tragic.
I’ll give one example: Megaservers.
Second problem:
You ignore your fans.
Seriously, i don’t need to say ANYTHING about that because everyone here know’s what i’m talking about.
If i’m looking at threads like https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Megaservers-and-RP without any meaningfull response while threads like:
“Ehr ma gewrd I l0ve yuo’r patch! xoxoxo much love”
…get Dev-Posts one minute after these…things appear i honestly have to say that i’m kitten angry about that.
Massive critics all around the forum and…you’re posting on the mainpage and on your facebook-site that….“Megaservers are rolling out just fine” and “working great”….there are no words for that.
And this was -again- only ONE personal example-
I love Guild Wars.
I love the lore.
I love the universe and everything around it.
But for a few months now you’re doing everything to destroy my….no, our experience.
I’m dissapointed…really.
Again, i’m sorry that i have to say…i lost my trust in you, Arenanet…and i’m not the only one. To be honest, in the few past months i even gave up the hope that there will be any change because Arenanet has….i don’t know. “Changed”? Or do you just need more money? I mean….well, i don’t know what to say anymore.
Slowly but surely you’re losing your fanbase which was on your side since Guild Wars 1 released. It’s too late to say “Don’t let it happen.” because it is already happening.
So….please don’t let it end. Regain our trust. I honestly don’t know how but…
Just do it!
Listen to your fans.
TLDR;
You’re losing our trust.
Get it back.
