Hi! I’ve been posting on these forums regularly for a bit now, but I’m finding a major issue here:
Where can Mac users get help?
Yes, you may say “go to the Mac client forums” but I can assure you that there is no formal help there. I have been the only one on there helping Mac users with their game issues for around a month now and only recently has someone else been helping (thanks Trog). So that is not an option, considering I’ve been waiting over 3 weeks for ANYONE to even write back on a post there from Anet after a moderator told us that they would let someone know of our issues.
You may suggest “submit a ticket” and yet we recently had a dev send a Mac person instructions on how to delete the local.dat file and download a windows software update, then use game advisor as well. Hmmm, that’s not for Mac! Or they just give up on the person.
Oh, we could just post our issues where devs are actually reading posts, yet all of the Mac client related posts are typically ignored or someone rudely says “the Mac forums are over there.” thank you for that, but it’s like being in solitary confinement over there. No one else is there to hear you.
What about this?

This tells us to use the forums, but again, we haven’t had a dev response in over 4-5 months now. So maybe someone should update this and tell Mac users the truth.
So my question again, where are we supposed to go to get help?
I’m posting this on the tech support forum because this isn’t a bug and I figured, if anyone could help us with the issues many of the Mac users are facing, it would be the tech team since most of the Mac issues are similar to the PC ones being brought up and ANSWERED here. We just need different instructions and we don’t have new drivers to worry about or direct x (since that is part of our out-of-date wrapper). Besides, where would we even post our bugs to get them some attention? I’ve had a thread going for 3 weeks without 1 response from a non-Mac person, let alone a dev. I did have one post acknowledged and that was only because it also affected PC users.
So, please, someone… Anyone… Where can we get help for the Mac client?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and offering any viable solutions!
