"We're people too." To the producer and Dev team of this MMORPG

her being a brand risk It's equivalent to an Amazon worker spouting pro maga nonsense fire him.
You based on all this nonsense you keep pushing now have to argue that the amazon worker should keep their job because they are a person.

You know, I wonder what would happen if the situation was reversed, oh wait, the Susan Calloway incident. Nevermind, we all know, lol.

The game could still lose about 50% more of its playerbase and still be very healthy.

Said no one ever, inside SE's financial department. That's a lot of money to lose, and it would be irresponsible for qualified professionals to have this mentality. Yoshi-P has already hinted at major changes ahead, with future content being designed for the entire playerbase rather than niche groups. There's clear pressure coming from shareholders, which is now public knowledge through multiple gaming media outlets.

Also let's not forget that Yoshi-P recently complained about their server costs.

I did, you are refusing to flesh out your argument because the moment we point out the simple fact that the ones asking for our money are acting like they know better than the customers, your half baked argument falls apart. You are defending a mulitbillion yen corpo, and paying a monthly sub to do it, lmao.

What are you taking about? Nobody here is saying you can't criticize the game

That's right, it's all about tone and "the wrong" tone can easily be subjective. In short, quit trying to shut down the conversation because of some Karen logic. What are you, England? lmao

Well the ones playing this game is people as well, it would not hurt for listening to stuff that the game is lacking content and the goal more or less is to make current content obsolete with making new content, instead of adding to the pool and focusing much more on the line to adapt all content in game towards max level.

For level 100... there is literally no areas with level 100 mobs in other than the hunt.

Hi, can you elaborate on that?

Level 1 to 15 zones in Guild Wars 2 are infinitely more dynamic than what we have in any zone now and those came out 13 years ago. Eventually, the rubber needs to meet the road on how incompetent they are as game developers.

They keep making rookie mistakes and decisions that negatively impact the game constantly. Look at Forked Tower. How much of an idiot do you need to be to make it how they made it? Realize the screwed up only to still have it be inaccessible to like 90% of the playerbase and the 10% that wanted to do it all they want is a queue, but they're too incompetent to do it. It's always the next time. Leave the old content broken and fix the new stuff. It's like what a kid would do. It's like the movie Big Daddy where Sunny Adam Sandler's character puts a newspaper on puke. You can't see the puke, but it's still there.

Hi, can you elaborate on that?

Simple. You are trying to make people walk on eggshells with their reply because what you consider a harsh or negative tone can be considered mild ribbing to some at worst. Why you so disingenuous bro? You know what you are doing, lol.

TBF they have added some QOL to old systems you can now run and mount you can now use phoenix downs they have moved to get rid of exploits quickly however sweeping changes or innovation that the game needs they have refused we have a whole thread on this site asking for glams to be not class locked this is simple stuff that they could literally flip a switch to enable and they refuse to do it.

we stil have these tome caps and savage raid gear lockouts is a person does teh raid and dioes not get gear why are they locked out? why not have the same system you have with normal one gear one tome per week that would make running for new players so much better but they refuse common sense... just baffling

they did good with Bozja it was a better eureka and with crescent they enable BA type getting into the dungeon it makes no sense to me someone reasoned out that people still do BA so it is moe popular than Delibrum (misspelled prolly) but when it was current conetent people really enjoyed that my guess is hey will fix it going forward but we reakllly have to wait and see 8.0 better be good or people will drop the game again that is not good for what is my fave MMO.

However being people does not put you above criticism you are in a business relationship with your many paying customers and you have provided not only poorer quality product but you have provided it at slower intervals.

They have never acted as if they are above criticism, but what you call "criticism" i call pointed harassment. The sheer volume of toxic behavior towards the dev team, the voice actors, other players, and the game in general, has increased by a MASSIVE amount in the last 4-5 years. A lot of the complaints aren't even framed in a way that could be considered constructive by ANY metric except your own.

Some of these things include:

harassing devs, or Yoshi-P over social media, sending death threats to voice actors like Sena Bryer, accusing anything and everything under the sun that gets added to 14 of being "Woke" or DEI, or "SBI" Slop, Complaining incessantly about content not being hard enough and when they make it more difficult people complain it's too hard and not fair, going after a member of staff who has no control over the game's story and calling for them to be fired because they dared to suggest fascists have no place in office on social media (do not @ me about this point, i don't wanna hear it), and don't even get me started on the cavalcade of clowns who brigaded on social media, the forums, AND in game over the destruction of that third party tool which will not be named.


The Devs DO actively listen, but with the caveat that anything you bring up to them will be taken with several grains of salt simply because of how fickle the community is in general about literally everything.
