Spotted an ANet member? Tell us here!

[lezbefriends.7516]

I was PvPing with my guild Heavy Metal Quaggans and we all stupidly decided to rush lord at the start for fun while a mesmer watched in horror (we all rushed in together at once!). Then later we noticed there was an ANet employee on the other team by the name of 'anaknif'. They were probably like "wtf?" LUL!

Not mine but... Instant Regret

TMW you realize the person you are attacking on the point is a GM and you just cheated to get there InstantRegret

few months back... i joined a pug VG group... and saw this charr GM her name (or at least i think it's her) starts with "R" (i'm so bad at remembering names) and i was like,, "HOLY cow first time i get to raid with anet employee" and was like... i didn't even know anet raided with peasants like us.

while i was farming for backpack Warbringer in wvw, i saw a lot of things being captured by "ANET" guild... i was shocked... cuz while i was playing core game wvw 5 years ago, never seen this lol.

[Ardenwolfe.8590]

The last one I saw was Gaile. She was doing her daily firecracker achievement during the last Lunar Festival.

[artemis.6781]

I saw one yesterday doing the hunt 10 krait daily. S/he talked with us for about 15 mins. It's always a nice surprise to see them.

[Endless Soul.5178]

I actually have several screencaps of whatever character I was on standing next to Gaile.

I'm totally, 293.35%, completely not a stalker. Trust me.

[lezbefriends.7516]

Omg they're everywhere! <3

[Zin Dau.1749]

one or two months ago, saw one during Jormag world boss.

[Ziooo.8932]

I have like, a collection of over 20 screenshots of moments i met devs

I already played with and against them on pvp and wvw. Maybe did a dungeon or a fractal once? jesus gotta check those once again

[Khailyn.6248]

i see them on occasion. in lions arch, DR, silverwastes, during holidays like hallows eve but gaile with her unicorn bow more than any other.

[Blocki.4931]

First and only time I've seen them they sneakily took SM from us on the Eternal Battlegrounds.. :rage:

[Ray Koopa.2354]

I once collected ANET accounts in my friend list which grew really long.But then I had a nightmarish dream of them all running towards me on an otherwise empty map. They chased me around (nobody else there to help me) throwing bricks on me (yeap), before they decided to ban me or "something weird with acronyms" which they loudly discussed in chat.Since then I cleaned up that ANET list to only Gaile and some other story person whose name I always forget.

God I felt so needlessly guilty for stalking xD

[Alga.6498]

The lastest ANet GM I saw and actually talked to was at the Knight of Thorns side events, she was the artist who desinged the new Calaboldgs weapons. ?

I've seen a few ANets employees at Queensdale, awaiting on Lake Doric to come LIVE. There was so many players dancing on a floating boat at a lake in Queendale ?

I've also seen Gaile Grey once in LA a few years ago.

Not sure if this count but I also met the famous Dulfy in Grove during Living World S2 at the World Summit, (all races leaders were meeting.)

I've also seen a few GMs during my time here but I dont remember their names and where I met them.I also remember during BETA or open BETA me and some GMs along some other players dancing off in Divinity's Reach, that's how I got my GW2 cap/hat... probably from Gem store or something :P

[Ashabhi.1365]

An employee from ANet was in my guild for a minute way back in beta.... does that count?

Otherwise, I see them occasionally. I figure they're just playing so I try not to bother them.

[RoseofGilead.8907]

I did DS meta with a nice GM named Violet the other night.

[Valdrimari.2769]

I have seen a few Anet devs, notably Anet devs who claim they work in the Sound department who have told me and other players they would look into certain issues we brought up regarding the 'global' cooldown on instrument notes (each note should have their own cooldown), that in conjunction with the fact they have not released any new instrument(s) in 3+ years.

With that being said, my first two encounters with two different Anet devs was roughly 2 years ago, one dev from the sound department, and another dev who worked on balancing, and no changes were made to this day. And then just recently about 4 months ago I saw another Sound dev, and still, no changes on things he said he would look into and/or relay to other members on his team.

[johnnymiller.5968]

One of the Anet staff were playing world vs world on a opposition server, about a month ago. Can't remember which server they were on though.

[Batdogi.7142]

It was a few months ago in WvW. We (Jade Quarry) noticed A keep (I think it was firekeep) had a controlling guild of anet. We ran into some of them later in the opposing zerg elsewhere on the map. They did pretty well. It was a fun time in that BL

@Alga.6498 said:I've also seen Gaile Grey once in LA a few years ago.

I ran into her in the Elon Riverlands, killing Djinni for one of the hearts, a couple weeks ago. Looked just like the forum avatar. V. nice person.

[Yol.1685]

Used to see Gaile regularly in euro districts in GW1, but in GW2 I've only ever seen one Anet player in-game - Zharra Embermane (don't know who the player is) in Bloodstone Fen in June last year, standing next to Rasman The Boss!

[Bast.7253]

See Gaile quite a bit. And a couple in wvw. One in a fractal, and Ben I think in the pvp arena. Must be the time I play during. Gaile and Ben are the only social ones though. Lol

I saw Violet doing Auric Basin and DS last night!

I felt really bad because I made a big deal about spotting an Anet employee and should have just ignored them and let them play the game...

Oh well! Too late now!

I'm sure they're kind of used to it. Violet was very cool with the few people pointing them out in chat during that particular DS run and even chatted with the map a little bit at the end.

[xSirensSong.2387]

Just saw Zharra Embermane in Lion's Arch - they were talking about legendaries & the ones they helped design so I'm assuming they are an environment designer or something. Pretty neat!

[phs.6089]

You just want their bosses give them hard time for playing at work, with this topic, don't ya? Not telling!
