[Had one of the best MMO experiences tonight...]

As a WoW player and player of other MMOs, I agree! GW 2 and FF14  are a cut above the rest in terms of community. You still occasionally run into elitist/jerks but it's definitely rare.  If GW 2 could nail some of the other areas they are lacking in, it would be the best MMO bar none.

Because it is official is the main reason. Devs are more likely to read this over any other, so no it is not "a title is just a title" thing.

 

Fair enough. I keep forgetting it's a small team that works on GW 2. Unlike the much larger MMOs I play, where they let the players know that they also read various other sources  (Reddit, Twitter, etc.)

I've been silenced a couple of times for the most innocent/dumb things so yeah, it works.

hehe, good one.

Your response tells me everything I need to know. I was advised to use the GW 2 subreddit anyway. Do you know any legit reason to use these forums over another? I know these are the "official" forums but sometimes a title is just that, a title.

So I've been reading different threads over the past few days and I noticed quite a few people who comment on threads only to troll or be rude to the OP/other posters. Why is this type of behavior allowed? What are the forum moderators doing about this? If someone is not directly addressing the topic, I noticed that they are usually derailing the thread and purposely trying to incite the OP/other posters. Does reporting these post even work? Are the forum mods paid employees of Anet or just randos?
