Gaile Will be Missed.

For those that are not aware yet:
https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/69445/gaile-gray-where-are-you#latest

Gaile was our messanger. And accordingly at times the phrase ‘don’t shoot the messanger needed to apply more.

I will miss her even-keeled approach.

Mostly for the pve community...

Don't care, any info on that one dude that works on wvw?

RIP Alliance

Guys they fired Gaile… This game is dead, seriously.

Sad to see people lose their jobs.

What about McKenna Berdrow?

She was a long time employee. That's rough. Wish her and everyone else well. Fortunately the market is flush with open technical positions so there are opportunities for everyone.

Some of the long time employees volunteered to lose their jobs (so others didn't have to), I wonder if this is the case for Gaile too.

Leaving Anet: Gaile Gray, Josh Foreman, Aaron Linde, Casey Benson, Matthew Medina, Kelsey Pickinpaugh, Connie Griffith, Benjamin Arnold, Grant Gertz, Shuai Liu, Lena Raine, Lily Yu, Lanielan Land. <- so far

A little more related to wvw, I'm kind of gritting my teeth about the gamemode's future more than I have in the past. If we were concerned about lack of substantial updates before you can only imagine how apprehensive many wvw'ers will feel now.Hate-or-like it, the new mount is a rare piece of new content for this gamemode -- you have to wonder in just over a week when the patch hits, how many of the people who worked on that mount are no longer employed by the company. It also makes you wonder how far along alliances really are.

Who knew that snapping at and condescending to the player base isn't a good strategy for a highly paid and non-productive employee that wants to keep their job?

Gone as well apparently.

I think we can kiss alliances and any updates goodbye at this point.

We already knew the wvw team was pretty small, since they are bringing something, which doesn't fit in wvw in the first place. The wvw content released, has always been small at times, but it must be worse now, since they don't even have a concrete date for the Alliances.

So you would imagine, alliances were a long way off from being a reality.Long gone are the days, when we had a wvw coordinators, like Habib Loew, along with a larger wvw Dev team, which could release new maps.

No, but after all those firings we can bet it won't be happening anytime soon or ever...

If the game dies, we are the first ones who will feel it, because we have always have been at the end of the foodchain.

Oh No! Now we won’t have anyone to announce the reveal of Warclaw next week.

/shrug I'm a dedicated wvw player and veteran of gw2 from day one, I don't know the work she's put in going by the work she's put in the wvw community. Kinda stupid for these companies to be releasing their community managers at a time when they will need someone to calm the masses and to listen to customers because their greed hasn't been leading them in the right direction to this point...

As for the mount, I've already put up a suggestion thread and poll about it.Regardless of anet mismanagement that has resulted in mismanaging their game and it's subsections for years, mismanaging development for years, and now losing a significant portion of their employees as a result, starting from this point on they need to do better, they need to sell their products better, they need to communicate and listen to customers better. Mindlessly selling weapon skin number 102 isn't going to be enough.

Check her LI."looking for new opportunities"I'd say that would confirm it.

Very upsetting.

@SloRules.3560 said:Will i get less posts removed now?

Actually, I would expect the opposite.

Yea, naturally she was with the pve community more, but she did contribute a bit when communicating with the wvw team. Or WvW person, whatever. I mean communication wasn't always the best, but at least it was something.

I have a picture with Gaile in both GW1 and GW2.It was a nice moment spotting her and she was most gracious to wait for me to take the picture.
