@ SpeedylordDon't listen to that toxic kitten... I'm likewise a player who greatly appreciates this game! Feel free to add me, and maybe if our schedules line up we can have some fun together!

Don't get me wrong - I'm all for constructive criticism. And I wouldn't begin to argue that the studio has "done nothing wrong". But as someone who's been on the other side of this dynamic, I know just how disheartening these forums would be to anyone working on this game. I also know how motivating and inspiring it can be to hear from even a tiny minority that your work is appreciated. There's a lot of real toxicity mixed in with the criticism here. I thought I'd throw out a few nice words on the off chance it made some frustrated devs day a bit better. My post got kitten responses. I figured all the kittens could enjoy a taste of their attitude. I don't need this bs in my life. If this keeps being my experience here, I'll eventually leave. As will many others who would have supported this game. Keep up the toxicity long enough and this community will chase away too many for the game to stay financially viable. The finishing blow in this game's future won't come from the studio, the economy, or the technology. It'll come from the community's toxic heart. I hate the saying, but I think it applies here: "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." If you're critical - that's great. Coat your criticism with some positivity. There's plenty of silver lining to go around. For perspective: There's no way I'd be playing gw2 now if I had come to these forums to find out about it. If you want your community to go in a better direction, BE that better direction...

Yes, let's just overwhelm the studio with toxic attitudes, to the point that the people actually doing the work feel like nothing they can do is ever going to be good enough. This way, all the senior devs and designers that we actually had respect for will look for work elsewhere. And let's not forget to drown every single attempt at studio communication in negativity and disrespect. Otherwise they might get the broken idea that talking to their community could be a way to generate goodwill. Being toxic to the people actually working on your game is definitely the only effective means of communicating your frustration with the capitalist assholes actually hurting it... Oh right - I almost forgot! If there's ever a reason for someone in this community to find enjoyment in the game or to encourage it's further development you gotta stamp them out right away. Wouldn't want anyone trying to build a bigger, happier community that might actually be able to keep the game alive in the future. Much better to chase away everyone who's got even a tiny ray of hope. That way the studio won't have any reason to support the game any more and we can all wish for the days when "maintenance mode" was a bad-taste falsehood...

Hi ANet! I'm a 2nd-time returning player. I played in Beta and on release, I came back briefly for POF release, and I'm back again now. I love this game. I'm not going to pretend everything is peachy perfect, but there's a lot of good here. I personally like the living world stories. I like that I don't have to pay a subscription so I can take breaks and return with total freedom. My only real points of complaint are the fomo-exploiting shop design, and the way currency exchange is handled - things the devs clearly have no authority over whatsoever. To the actual devs: I appreciate all your hard work! This kind of a project is far more challenging than mod people realize. I know there's a lot of vocal negativity lately - and maybe some of it is indeed warranted. But you need to know that many players greatly appreciate your hard work, and enjoy all the wonderful content you've given your such freedom to play with. Please don't give up on this community. The positive elements here may not be as vocal, but we certainly exist! So, to conclude this poor, rambling, nonsense post: Thank you devs for all you do! You have my support going forward. Please don't give up on this game or it's community!
