I was talking about mods and not community managers. I don't think that it's good to see 99.99% of the time community managers posting and not developers/team leads. It used to be a norm to have dev. AMA series on the GW2 Reddit after new patches and they didn't use official forums. It was time when we were able to know what shaped specific changes to the game/story. I'm missing that. Other thing. When news release on guildwars2.com website, there is no way to comment them, nor it is guaranteed for it to appear on the forums officially, making it not easy to respond to and people have to create separate topics about it that often repeat. For example Chromium Embedded Framework update released and there is not a single forum post in News and Announcements section about it.

You just need a Discord account to do everything, that's it. No need to find external cloud storage for image or video. As I said earlier, because of current forum limitations. Can that be fixed? I don't know. Honestly, if you work for a company, feedback (it's also a part of the job) should be collected officially and not in a small group of people because it can happen for information to appear on Reddit and never being mentioned on official forums. Some people want to be anonymous because of harassment in the game. That's also main reason why they don't use official forums.

@TheGrimm.5624 I can't easily put images or bug videos in current GW2 forums, It's a very big drawback, because it requires people to use external services people don't want to. Discord has forum conversation feature now, so easy to use and track. Discord has more features than Twitter, not just for news. I don't see the reason to keep forums because as a player I don't need them to read news or contact other players. Also developers are not using forums and prefer Discord more because of current forum drawbacks and my friends have sent many videos of bugs or WvW hacking via Discord as it's so much easier.

Recently game publisher of Lost Ark MMO announced that they are closing their forums and moving them to Discord. I think Guild Wars 2 should do the same, because developers rarely use this forum. I don't see any collection of feedback of new or upcoming features organised by community managers. I don't think the forums should exist just for players also it costs money for the company to upkeep forums, that instead be better going for development. Discord is also much better platform to reach players in real time and instantly inform them. It is known that ArenaNet developers use Discord to gather player feedback, the problem is that they are not official and not whole community can participate. I hope one day we will get official GW2 Discord server too!

Is this a bug? It must be. Surely someone accidentally put the 1600 gem price similar to mount skins... All this skin is worth is mail carrier price and not this...

Lux.1308 replied to Josh Davis.7865's topic in Professions
I can only assume that it wasn't moderated as it wasn't official forums or open social media like Twitter. Thing is feedback collection wasn't totally private and the process included some mismanagement. They knew the risk but were totally not prepared for that. Big problem is that Guild Wars 2 didn't have a Director for a long time. Years since Gaile Gray departed there is no community manager and events (ingame and irl) organizer, feels like Josh Davis.7865 is doing all this job at the moment😅 I wish all the best for the Studio and the new Director towards clearer communication, more open direction and more active official forums that could use some restructuring😉(check out Star Citizen forums). aka Lux EU WvW Gandara player #FREEGANDARA
