I see devs play in all the tiers. What I see is that they're always running as part of a blob. I don't see them in small groups or roaming. I also don't know how much influence they have on the direction that they take. What I do know is that the changes they want to make only help blobs and non-wvw focused players. Defenders and roamers get nothing.

The reward changes were NOT for wvw focused players. Much like the exploration change, this is a reaction to the PVE complaints that they'll listen to (and the wvw's they always ignore).

Anet continues to cater to the boon ball. Its where they play when they're on so its all the y do anything for.

Just based on the High, Full, Medium on the servers, that doesn't look balanced at all. They must use a super serious methodology. I'm thinking blindly throwing darts a board. Sad.

Its hard to tell. I'm sitting on 70+K since buying everything. These tickets are just piling up. My wife has around 55K. They really need to let us do something more with them (trade, sell, new skins, something).

If I were in charge, I'd find a developer or two to help out the intern we tossed WvW at.

Anet just wants to say they did something for wvw. It was that or remove a couple more ambient creatures. Both offer the same improvement to gameplay.....

Emoji and Plague really don't belong in the same sentence.

Its all about the money. Can their investment into WvW generate more income than its costing them. Based on how little they've done for the game mode over the years, its clear they don't think much of it. The do have their champions and they seem to only listen to blob commanders, so we have that going for us......

Whatever the changes end up being, I hope we can sell or merchant these tens of thousands of tickets that have no further use.

The only one who ever said anything to me was my wife - she doesn't like that I do a better job at fashion wars on my female characters than she does. Otherwise I haven't heard anything else from the beginning of GW1 to today.

Like Zoja, just get her hurt in HoT and ignore her. Kill them off and try out new plot devices.

Dungeons were abandoned by the devs for their beloved fractals. I'm surprised they're even still around. Of course they're not going to ask us. They have their favorites who they listen too (some streamers, blob commanders and buddies) and that's about it.

Quaggans are food, not friends.

I liked Rox, but they changed the voice actor and essentially wrote her out years ago. Canach was fun, again, until they changed the voice actor. The rest, save Rytlock, are all a waste of money. Kill them off and bring in some fresh faces.

You'll end up salvaging (or selling) just about every gear drop you get. Its level becomes meaningless pretty quick. The way they built the instances in the story prevents us from skipping that awful dialog. It bites, but I'd rather suffer it than have them spend time refactoring that code. WvW is the red-headed step child of Guild Wars. We've been put on the backburner at every turn. Have some new project? Pull the WvW devs! Need to lay off some people, do it and put the work they used to do on the wvw devs! Don't expect that to change. PvP isn't to far behind.

As a roamer, my play isn't dictated directly by how aggressive my server mates are. I think you may not be a roamer, you're one of those people who cloud around with others on your team and are disappointed when they don't push as you think they should. That is not roaming.

65K tickets. I'd like to be able to sell them as they have no further use (or add more uses).

For the players with dozens and dozens of lv 80 characters (raises hands) this is going to be perpetually annoying

WvW will never be balanced. Players won't help in population and Anet will never walk away from their love of boons. Only a select few blob runners have Anet's ear. Expect any and all changes to come from that perspective (which will do nothing for actual balance).

YES I have all those things (did 4 sets of armor before the wardrobe change) and have 65K tickets that are essentially useless..

Waste of time? Not really, they've hardly put any time into it at all. Waste of resources? Maybe, but see above....

Anet pushed the boons - players use the boons. The blobbing zerglets don't know anything else.

Crib notes: Alter the game mode to suit my needs! What a terrible suggestion.

Because Anet was unwilling to be straight with us. When they abandoned alliances, they said nothing until they got a few people back on it. They abandoned it again without telling us until they, once again, got a few people to work on it. Noting their track record, we can expect it to be abandoned soon and picked up again in the future. Eventually they'll probably even get it done doing it this way.
