It was probably locked because it should’ve been in Discussion, not the event forum. Still, would’ve been better if it had been moved.
If you have a look around Anet let some of the majorly critical threads continue.
I don’t think so to be honest, because it was pertinent to The Lost Shores content and not the game generally. I have looked around and in fact I can see a number of other topics that have been locked. The only thing they all have in common is that they are critical.
My topic ‘New player… unimpressed’ on ‘The Lost Shores’ sub-forum
has been locked without any notification. I read the responses and they were generally reasonable and polite, so the only explanation that I can think of for it being locked is that it is critical.
Community managers should be offering support and encouragement to new players; they should be like ambassadors for GW2, not forcibly trying to silence any critique.
To run this forum like a dictatorship gives a negative impression and reflects poorly on ArenaNet – much moreso than some temporarily buggy events ever could.
I wasn’t fortunate enough to get a key and time was running out before the first event began, so I paid £40 for this game and I look forward to experiencing all that it has to offer. I’ll continue to offer my honest impressions on the various forums to which I belong even if i’m prevented from doing so here.
Thankyou.

Right your new… theres a ton of other stuff besides an event thats buggy for you to do and try
Underdog, of course what you say is true but the event and associated content was publicized along with a promotion to encourage new players like myself to try it.
Was it unrealistic of me to expect it to work? and isn’t it natural that I should express my dissatisfaction about something i’ve been looking forward to all week?.
Hi.
I’ve never played an ArenaNet game before but the publicity for The Lost Shores got my attention.
I’m sorry to say that it’s given me a poor impression. NPC’s have been buggy and i’ve been unable to complete the associated events. I’m left feeling bored, that i’ve wasted my time and that I should play something else instead.
I don’t feel that this should have been pushed pushed out, and new players like myself encouraged to try the game when it isn’t functioning.
I wish my first post didn’t have to be negative and hopefully i’ll have more positive feedback to offer in the near future – just as soon as I get to enjoy some content that actually works.
Thankyou.
