Fact of the matter is, and Kuldebar has already said it (in a much nicer tone): Anet doesn't owe you crap. You have access to the game's content, you got what you paid for. Want anything more? Then cough of a subscription fee. Unless there is a serious bug, not a skill imbalance, then there's not much to complain about.

In my opinion, A-Net DOES owe us something the moment they began bragging by saying 'we listen to our customers.' I'm not saying that bragging about it is a bad thing, but they SHOULD listen to us when they keep saying they are listening.

If you say 'We listen to our customers.' and don't do it, or only a part of the customers (like now, it seems), people will get, how should I say it... 'impatient'.

I know how A-Net must feel, like babysitters of a sort. Actually they do listen to their customers, that's why we have all the cool extra things we've had. But obviously they can't implement everything asked. Most of us like the game and all the things they've given us based on our feedback.

You have the same thing in any support situation. When people like something, like the majority of the users in this game, they are content to just play it, but aren't usually motivated to send in their praise. When you're not satisfied with something, justified or not, most people feel compelled to speak up when it's something they will be spending a lot of time doing. So although it's a very small percentage of the base, it appears, since there are more saying bad things than good, they are a lot larger of the fan base than they are.

Just the way things are, not looking for acknowledgment since there is nothing to dispute there.

I've played GW since it came out, though with a huge hiatus from about March 2006 - Feb. 2007. The only thing that annoys me about ANET is the way they handle "problems" with the game. When Protective Bond became a skill that could be "exploited" to farm PVE, it was made completely useless to both PVE and PVP. I share the opinion with others here that ANET also flat out lied recently, when they told us the anti-farm code was removed. I can't prove that one way or another but it certainly seems like it was not.

I appreciate the free content ANET gives us, but at the same time I think they could communicate with the community a little better what's going on.

And obviously, there is a BIG difference between listening to all and implementing everything all users ask. I'm sure they do listen to all users (no one can deny they do or don't, no way to know). But what ANY company can't do is implement everything everyone wants.

If anyone can't grasp that concept, there is no reason to go on with this discussion.

And if they don't implement everything everyone asks, that doesn't mean they aren't listening to all users. Means they are trying to implement, to the best of their ability, what the majority wants, balancing what makes sense given the GW world. And yes, best of their ability means, they may make mistakes (not necessarilly what any one of us would call a mistake, since we would be biased), but that's what "best of their ability" means.

I just wish more of the users of any game/program that enjoy it would speak up and show their praise, but it's just the way things are with humans.

It depends on what the customers are saying. Anet could be listening to what they say, they just may not agree with them.
