I really find the complaints in here to be unbelievable. The gaming community is so awful sometimes. Or at least a minority of the forum complainers are.
Personally, the issues are a big nothingburger as far as I’m concerned. Anet has been remarkable in their levels of communication and responsiveness to in games changes the community wants.
Anet, I hope you guys understand that you will be getting professionally trolled on occasion. I hope you know what to ignore, keep moderation levels high and stick to your initial design goals for the game. You won’t be able to please everyone all the time. So don’t try to.
