Is anyone else tired of all the ANET bashing?

Screw guilds.

As far as simple complaining goes, whether it irritates me or not depends on what it's about and how they do it. Some people complain about anything that makes something harder for them, while other people actually have good reasons to justify their perspective.

What really gets me mad are the idiots who claim to speak for the whole fanbase in certain posts asking Anet to make game changes (particularly those involving balance) that many clearly don't support, and the ones who seem to think other people actually want to read their little "Anet you screwed the game" posts.

If a toilet roll felt like sandpaper, I'd buy a different brand the next time. If you're sick of Anet's decisions, play a different RPG.
They don't have our GW:EN or Guild Wars 2 money yet. At least I don't think they do. That goes with any product. They've already got some money, but that's nothing compared to having a steady customer for future consumption.

If you dont tell them what is bothering you they cant change it.

But also you might tell them what you like about the game. Its nice to know that too. Negative things alone arent helping. The balance is key here.
And that is quite hard to find if 2 mil + people play 1 game with at least 10 different ways to play it.

Though it is the nature of the beast on forums in general, I do find it tiring. I think some of the people that go overboard on the bashing may play a little too much. Being an active/casual player (12-15 hours a week at most), I don't have much to complain about besides the lack of an auction house. I'm still having fun in the game after 2 years now.

Complaining is one thing if its done in the appropriate respective manner of disagreement. Most people here demand and insult simply because their sick of adapting or refuse to change, also they are probally thinking these changes completely ruined the game for them wich it wont their just in a sore mood since they have to adapt again. Maybe anet should stop worrying about skills so much and just provide possible counters wich can be easely made from unused skills as there are plenty.

It's all about the entitlement. People expect to be listened to, etc. when they pay money for a product. Of course, this is a game, and like any other game, you don't have to play if you don't like it.

The problem with complaining is that offers no real solution. It's a complaint.

'I don't like your soul reaping nerf' is a great example.

Whether you do or don't like it really isn't the issue...what matters is how does the game play now and what might improve upon it? It's safe to say that ANet won't fix what isn't broken, so when they make a change it is for good reason. Our comments should focus on how to improve any changes, or to suggest new ones, not throw all of ANet into the frying pan for trying to make the game better. People that want to cooperate and work for positive change are people that should be taken seriously. Those that complain about change are like small dogs yipping loudly at a large tree - funny to look at, but annoying as all hell.

75% of the GW forum community voted for 8v8 HA. They got 8v8 HA.

75% of the GW forum community voted for 7 heroes in HM. They got nothing.

Just one of the many 'We only listen to PVP'ers attitude that GW has that ruined the game for me. (on top of farming nerf, PVE skill nerfs due to PVP, armor stacking nerf, and the yet to be fulfilled suggestion agreed by gaile gray that henchmen skills would be improved for HM).

PVE continually gets shafted, solo players continually get shafted. Soon this will be a PVP only game... Or wait a minute... Arent PVP'ers also getting shafted by killcount?

Im hoping that ANET bring in a grand update that ruins GVG too. bye bye GW players
