What is your top 3 ArenaNet mistakes?

Grind Titles
Grind titles
grind titles

1) Not being able to change my character's appearance (why not at least able to get my characters a haircut once in a while?)

2) Loot scaling.

3) PVP skill changes affect PVE skills. So many things that have been taken away from PVE 'cause of this. Why should PVE people suffer because of some abused skills in PVP? Just really uncool.

1. Allowing Fan Sites to be made.
2. BMP marketing and sell crapshoots.
3. Hall Of Monuments and all of it's problems and short comings.

1: PvE Skills
2: Greens
3: Heroes

1) hom - just does not compute, promised so much, but just does not deliver.
2) Factions - not so much of a bad game, but it was just boring.
3) loot scaling.

- PvE skills / consumables
- Inscriptions
- Dumbing down of PvE to C+Space.

1. Wait time for AB
2. "randomizer" in RA
3. Guild Parking

1. Displayable titles, especially HA slash Rank.
2. Party Search, versus a full blown trading system.
3. Applying changes retroactively (i.e. to "nerfed" items).

Mini Pets

Hundreds of Greens, so they are no longer rares

Hero's, it's a single player game now

1) Everything done (supposedly) to combat bots (AI scatter from November '05 to present & loot scaling top the list)
2) no auction house/trade mechanism
3) all the gd maze maps (with the ugly slums of Cantha #1 on that list, but by no means the only one)

Skill "balances" that amount to "this skill is good so nerf it until it sucks, that skill is mediocre leave it alone, that skill sucks make it almost mediocre" should also be on the list.

1. Adding heros and leaving the "play with your friends" concept behind. Yes, people were way more friendly those days.
2. Loot Scaling. (Still I HATE it!)
3. Nerffing everything instead of balancing (nothing personal Izzy)

1) Loot scaling
2) Dishonorable/report system
3) HM, you get bad drops, NM, you get worst drops

This runs contrary to everything else I have ever heard about who's responsible for these atrocities. It's a moot point though; regardless of whether one person or four people are responsible for the skill balances, the fact remains that the skill balances are very poorly done. If anything, I'm more disturbed by the possibility that some of these awful balances could have made it past four different people without anyone realizing how awful they were.

An "all regular quests title"? WHAT A GREAT IDEA! As long as they made sure to exclude starting-continent-specific quests and count alternate quests as just 1 point together, getting this title would be great fun!

- released factions
- released nightfall
- failed to realise GW could've actually gone somewhere besides a pve title scrubfest.

(failed aTs should be up there somewhere as well, lack of WC)

1. Creating 2 differend games: PvP and PvE.
2. Dividing PvE content in 'common' area's and 'Elite' Area's - making it impossible for causual players to access all content.
3. The poverty economy, based on anti grind codes and a low rewards system.

/signed for great justice.

1. Time > skill
2. Time > skill
3. Skill balances (yes, every single 1)

Notice that every other post has said "Loot Scaling" ? As said earlier...now we have /report we should kill loot scaling. The bots make money anyway..

Tbh Someone should make a signable petition to send to Anet to remove scaling.. (probably been done already >_>)

I bet we could hit well over 3/4's of the users on these forums signatures.

1. waiting times for everything pvp (I should never have to wait a half hour in the vault for a 1v1 hoh battle just to own the other team in 30 seconds and wait another half hour for the same team to make it back and roll them in 30 seconds again just to rinse and repeat. Same for RA,AB,TA,GVG I know everyone loves to wait for a hour just to go in destroy the other team in less then 5 mins then go back and wait another hour to do the same thing. /endsarc

2. PvP skill unlock packs (IMHO these are no different from buying gold you spend real money on skills instead of spending real money on gold) you have not earned the skills through playing the game just like the not earning the gold from playing the game.

3. (I understand that all games have bugs you can not avoid them.) The bugs and glitches it would seem that if a spot/quest/mission/party bar/everything that has a chance to bug out will for me and it will everytime (I have not been back to EOTN for a month due to hitting 40+ game stoping bugs in a few hours) I just said screw it (and I have given up on reporting them nothing changes even after I report the same glitch 100+ times) I would not mind so much if I could go a hour without hitting one. The pvp party menu ones kill me the most when your health bar is full but you ping I have 40/xxx health (lag is not the cause my average ping during high traffic hours is around 100) I have had a person ping I am dead! but on my side they have full health. these bugs are game halting I encounter one SS it and put the SS in the huge GW bug file that I made just for them, I take a break bang my head on the wall and scream HOW UNLUCKY CAN ONE MAN BE or WHY ME and I come back to give it another shot.

1. Greens (Useless, just keep the few with unique skins such as Urgoz Longbow, Drago Flatbow, etc. most people use perfectly modded golds for even their heroes nowadays...)

2. Titles/PvE Skills (Though they are the only thing keeping so many people sticking to GW, there could have been vastly better options...)

3.Of course, lets not forget about this update and anything else following it... -_- http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Game_updates/20051110
