So ANet guys often say that the forums don’t represent the whole playerbase.
Up to a certain point, that’s probably true.
However, I realy want some of the ANet guys to explain cleary how they get / weight the player feedback.
Dont come up with empty phrases like “Forums are important” etc.
Look at the pvp forum these days /weeks/months. Almost completely filled with complaints.
I rly would like to know, how ANet gathers the opinions of the players who don’t come to the forums.
Yes, not every player comes to the forums and ppl are more likly to complain in the forums as to only make a thread how great everything is.
But how do you guys measure what is “important”?
How many threads / ppl have to complain about sth in the forum until you consider it as important?
Don’t give me another describtion about what Allie does.
I’m pretty sure, Allie at least came up once with Pistolwhil, Decap Engi and Warriors.
But when the Devs answered, that they wont change them until the next patch, Allie should have slapped them into the face until they decided to do sth. about this.
At least this would have been the proper reaction according to the amount of complaints in the forums.
What’s the point of the forums if obviously every issue brought up by the community gets completly nullified by a Dev saying “Nah, we wont do this”.
Or just look at Ready Up. It is a LIVE STREAM. So why the hell can’t you make it more like Q&A style instead of “the 1h ANET show”.
When I think about it, Ready Up is exactly some kind of what is the communitycation problem in GW2.
Even though it is a live stream on twitch, nobody cares about the chat there. The only thing the community can do is watch the stream while the Devs show us, what their opinion is, how they wanna see GW2 pvp.
Player Feedback in GW2 is like voting in North Korea.
Technically you have the possibility to give feedback. Practically your feedback wont do anything…except of getting you killed.
GW2 Developement seems to work like “We appreciate your ideas, but watch, this is what we will do.”
I don’t even want a discussion in this thread.
All I want is, is sb with a red tag say “This is how we weight / handle Community feedback: …” and even more important, I want to know, how you handle the “not existing” feedback of all those players who don’t go to the forums, as obviously, their opinion seems very important to ANet.
