Have you met anyone from ANet?

A random question, but I can't help being curious about small things like this.
When you're in AB or doing a mission, have you come to realise that someone from ANet is in your team? Or even in your guild?
I always wonder myself whether an ANet employee is in the same team as I am.

Once izzy was in our guild hall :P

I saw Izzy once in RA and everyone was all around him yelling and jizzing OMG IZZY IZZY /RANK NERF THIS BUFF THIS /RANK /RANK IZZY IZZY. I have no idea what he was doing there, or if he even played a match in RA.

As for actually playing with anyone, i'm not sure. I'd imagine if anyone from ANet wanted to casually play GW they'd have an incognito account they can go on and just play peacefully.

Nope, hasent happoned to me, but it would be cool

I saw Gaile Gray several times in the cities, during the events. But thats normal. Anyway, i havent seen any other people from AN

Me and Gaile Gray used to dual run uw back in the days.

Saw regina once & spoked with gaile many times in towns

After playing 3 years, the only Anet employee I've seen was Gaile and only once in one of her going away parties. Boy was that a tad insane!


...But fun!

Anet employees know better than to play GW. They all get to play GW2 the not-dead (yet) version of GWs

Nope. I never met any mods but I think it would be kewl to

are u serious lol,i bet that would have been cool,i mean its nice to see that people from anet play their own game,i would do the same but like its been posted before i bet they would use another account to be like everyone else

I have seen an ANET mod once, gave me some free items and was pretty much a chill guy. Remember when the mods used to watch over districts to make sure that people weren't spamming local chat with trade... im sure you have seen one then...

I have met a couple in my time....but no need to name drop.

Of course Gaile in town on one of her chats. But also met a bunch of them in person at a "Meet and Greet" in Southern California before Factions came out, including Gaile.

Never seen any of them yet, been wanting to for a while though lol.

i have seen them but never was in a team with them, its good to know a-net actually play the game they made, at least once in a while

John Zipperer was also a member of our Guild for a time during the beta's.

I played with Andrew Patrick on the Betas for the AT system.

The Spearmen.




Thats the main guild for the devs/employees.





So thats where they're hanging out.

When the devs do play, they have numerous alt accounts so people won't know it's them. Gaile, Regina, and Andrew have all mentioned this.

So, it's likely that over the course of years, you may have played with them and not even known it.
