I propose a boycott of the Forums

#1 - Oct. 31, 2012, 7:49 a.m.

Ladies and Gentlemen/my fellow necromancers:

Given the paucity of communication from the Devs, and given that the necromancers that frequent this forum have pointed out the problems with our current state and identified every bug and downside to the class, I propose we, the necromancer community, boycott the necromancer section of the forums. There is simply nothing left to say until such time as bug fixes are implemented or a developer chooses to actually contribute to the community discussion. I for one, will withdraw from commenting in this forum until one of the above happens. Will it change anything? likely not, nor do I require you to care what I have to say. A forum is a place to express oneself about the game, and I have nothing constructive to add.

I have read practically every post, contributed where I could, transitioned from excitement about the class, to frustration with the limitations and bugs, to increased frustration due to limited dev communication and outright veiled insults , to anger, and now calm. I have dealt with the possibility that the devs do not agree with their community and potentially have no fixes planned.

Thus, I bid you good day, good evening, and a well intentioned good bye, until such time as we see changes. Wish you all the best of luck.

Please don’t boycott the forums. Even if we don’t have time to respond to each of your threads, we still use these threads to get tons of information.

As I’ve said in other posts on the forums, we are watching, even if we can’t post in every thread. We are working to fix bugs for ALL classes, Necromancer included. I’m sorry we can’t do everything as fast as you’d like, but GW2 is a massive game!

We may not agree with every post from every poster (and, as you know, you often disagree among yourselves) but these forums are still a great tool! We’re here, we’re listening, we’re just also super busy trying to make this the best game possible.

That was all we needed Jon, just so you know.

Just something to show us we’re not invisible. Lol.

Na, it’s ok. From your point of view, it makes sense: you feel like no one is responding to threads, which must mean we’re not listening or that we do not care.

But as I’ve said before, we read the forums, takes, run to meetings, etc. We’re here, and we’re listening.

I understand your position and it makes sense. I just wanna let you know that we’re here and we are working hard. We just have our heads down as we fix bugs and put new things into the game.

Thanks for the feedback all. As Jonathan stated, the developers are extremely busy working on the game, going to meetings, etc, but they do read the forums in the brief moments they’re allowed to breath.
