Love or Hate: vote and be counted!

Everyone who believes ANet has done a fabulous job with Guild Wars, patching, content, balance, and policing violations, shout AYE!

All you banned, caught in the act, name violating, scamming, exploiting, and otherwise whiny "I'm taking my football and leaving" bastids scream NAY!

Let's see who gets the most votes...

Tal

Aye !

Would we be here if we didn't?

Aye

Some poeple probably play a game so they can get banned and complain in the forums. (not to insult anyone who was banned).

Aye! - go with the flow, follow the rules, and enjoy the play.

Nay! - farming is part of play and was killed (documented or not), can't please all of the people all of the time, and is Black everyone's favorite color? why not Red?


I'm way more Aye! than Nay!, by far.


Yes, those who are here and doing nothing but whining, complaining, and crying: where would you be if Guild Wars was never created? It's as if your life has no meaning without errors, problems, and bugs. Complaints - I see as good, but whining and crying - log on elsewhere.

So.. do you really mean Aye when you say Nay?
bah~! so confusing...

Nay... This game relies on having real people in your group and with all the idoitic and greedy players running around spamming, trash talking and abandoning you in and out of quests it makes trying to do missions more of a chore than they should be.

Yes the game has become a pinacle of frustration.

The result is a reliance on NPCs which hinder play as well.

ps. Your voting options are onesided.

Oh heck yes! I am awed by how on the ball Anet is.

AYE!

God forbid we try and fix a game we love through criticism... It MUST mean we are scamming exploiters.

Aye!

A.net is doing way more for this game than they have too. I appretiate it.
I mean we may all be here complaining and bitching, but thats just cuz a.net
actually listens to us (at least a little)

Aye!!

[note - 4 characters was too short and therefore made the second ! necessary ]

Aye

8)

AYE AYE AYE AYE for first week then a few NAY NAY NAY then a AYE and then NAY NAY NAY and I anticipate fingers crossed a BIG AYE this Wednesday or I will be back on this thread with a very big Nay

You have been NAYED Anet

Aye! Thanks Anet.

Pretty much a aye but there are things that need to be fixed.

Aye for sure
I realy like it that they update the game so often.
I like all the updates. But I would like to see more guild features cause thats something thats realy lacking.
Altough I still like it that they listen to the community, and implement the things they think is best.
Realy great job Anet
Keep on the great work

Aye but they need more end-game content.

Aye

/roar

AYE!!

Nay.

Until PvE and PvP are completely separate or at least no favour is needed for UW and FoW.
Until the characters are balanced.
They un-nerf farming (the only purpose gold has late game is to buy pretty looking armour)
At least a few more levels. Maxed level before even halfway done the game... screw skill, the game is way too easy anyway. Nothing to do once you're done the game but make yourself look pretty or spend endless hours in the HoH which will accomplish nothing but a virutal ranking system that nerds need to compensate for a lack of social life.
When players stop shouting "KILL KOREA!" every time a match starts, the players with names like "Ms Adolf H" and "X Korea Killer X" are banned. Both of which are the main reasons I solo with henchmen because the amount of racism in this game is absurd. Yeah, ANet is doing a GREAT job with keeping this a clean game.
More classes or skills (Warrior has 8 sword skills, what the hell...)

So once more, NAY.

How are the characters NOT balanced? Do you mean my 8th level monk is completely uber compared to your 3rd level ranger? lol
It's rock-paper-scissors buddy. If you're a scissors, being mangled by a rock is not "game balance issues" its called your weakness. Avoid accordingly.
Why is this so difficult for people to understand???

Second - The fiends at ANet have made the game difficulty level much HARDER. Like you, I blew through the game with little effort.
Then I went back to try it again as a different class. I got my butt handed to me, so I went back with my 20th (South Shiverpeaks and onwards) and guess what?
It's not the cakewalk you make it out ot be any longer.

Thanks for your vote, regardless!

Tal

Thumbs up for ArenaNet!! Great job.

Looking forward to many expansions in the future! (Just remember all the great PvE ideas too, lol)

i thank them for the fun i have and will be having.

it is just 2 months old and people should give it at least 6 more months to get settled a bit

big AYE

The game is still too new for me to make an opinion.

A lot of the problems A.net faces have been around for ages. I did a little hunting using the Wayback Machine and found archives of old messageboards about the game I used to play. A choice quote from 1998:

The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh? I think A.net has started off on the right foot, but hasn't fully found their niche just yet. I'd say they are doing a very good job responding to their community, as disparate as it currently is.

I loved having beta as a playground. I like how they have a PR person on the boards, though I'd like to see even more official activity. Patches are frequent and clearly in response to player feedback, though it's frustrating sometimes not knowing the "why" behind every change.

I still enjoy playing the game, though some of the mechanics/content still feels like it's in "beta". Sometimes it gets a little fuzzy as to which changes are genuine improvements based on community feedback, and which were plain buggy and should have been caught in beta.

Though the patch note updates are pretty consistent, I think the official website is in sore need of extra lore, game stats & ladder content. I wish we had just 1 set of official forums, but can understand the multitude of reasons why we're so fragmented. I'd like to see more in-game community tools to bring like-minded people together.

Dwarven ale, nekkid dance parties, and mesmer-gal emote gatherings show that folks will carve communities & draw entertainment out of content that serves no "purpose" from a mechanics point of view. I hope A.net never forgets the little things that make games fun.

The game is still new. The economic viability of the franchise is still uncertain -- at least to me. I've had free games go pay on me before, so I will be gunshy of the "other shoe" dropping until we see pricing for the expansion.

I can't really give a full "aye" or "nay" until I see some of the promised new content -- the streamed-in areas + the eventual expansion. The latter will tell me a lot of how A.net proposes this game to grow.

Still, I will give A.net the benefit of the doubt. Though not game-related, programming and design is part of what puts food on my table; I know some of the issues A.net management and devs must be going through. Their game launched with some great momentum; I just hope they don't drop the ball. I genuinely want A.net to succeed. All of my former favorite game companies are dead.

The expansion will determine if this will be a game I play on a regular basis, or if it's a game I play for 40-80 hours, then don't touch again until another expansion. Neither is bad - I get more than $50 worth of entertainment and A.net gets paid. But I'd prefer something with a little staying power.

/cheer *

Aye!

I feel that Arena.Net is doing as good a job as they are able, and considering this game is NO monthly fee to play, I am appreciative of this, and these almost weekly updates. Thank you Arena.Net, thank you.

Aye for the most part, though i can totally see how john styx's quote about pacifying the whiners applies to a-net though, but we cant have everything, and it is AWESOME that they do listen though, and it is currently my favorite game

AYE 95%

NAY 5%

Aye, Anet is doing something right, as I am consistantly happy with how things are going with the game.

To most patches, there's a good side and bad side, I tend to be on the "good side" of things therefore I'm all happy with the patches.

70% Happiness comes from the patch ideas + 29% Happiness coming from the fact they actually even have patches associated with player ideas = A pretty happy guy.

Aye, I think they're doing an awesome job!

Aye! The most balanced MMORPG I've ever played!

I'm curious as to the point of this thread and why it remains open?

There is nothing here to be counted as a suggestion. Note: Game Suggestions

Aye!!
