What is your top 3 ArenaNet mistakes?

First of all, please do not rant. Post your top 3, no discussions

I'd like to open the discussion about ArenaNet's handling the day-to-day problems. For you and the people around you, what's the main 'adminning'-lack?


example:
1. For a game existing for 3 years, and a couple of million players... where is my frog 24/7?
2. Why can't i still find the game updates ingame? Easy to code, easy to do.
3. Racial slurring has a priority to spamming (in banning-aspect). Since nr1 annoyance is spamming...


so, what's your top 3?

1. made a game too awesome, i can't get any studying done

2. auction house never implemented, so i play the really game more instead of selling to make money

3. sold me an overpriced expansion that turned out to have amazing dungeons that are great fun



damn them!!!!

1. zhaishen chest
2. aoe nerf
3. still thinking

Post #2 is great, and I'll throw in a 'qft', but I don't forsee the majority of posts highlighting 'positive' mistakes like Alex did.

OP, do you like having your mistakes listed for you?

1. Greens
2. Factions
3. Nightfall

That may not be the case in a few months.


With that said...my top 3.

1. No voice in-game, even after announcing it.
2.Utopia was cooler.
3. Should have made the original game a bit more interactive.

1. zhaishen chest
2. PvP only characters
3. Ursan Blessing

2.?????

You trying to get flamed?

1. Not closing the Drok's run
2. Going to a WoW type game in GW2
3. HoM

1. Titles with skills attached
2. Titles with in game effects
3. Locked Gates

1: instanced gameplay and stupid lvl 20 cap with way too quick character development

2. Factions (not meant the campaign self, but the silly concept behind it that splitted only the community)

3. no implemented auction house from the begin on or at least the possibility for players to creatue personal afk-shops in special shop districts in a special alone for shopping made Commerce Town

In terms of ALL TIME mistakes:

1. Titles

2. Ending their Campaign plan for guildwars, and moving to GW2

3. BMP Marketing

Skills tied to titles will definantly have to by the only thing I consider a truly bad idea.

But I can tell you what one of their greatest moves were: never having an official forum.

1.everything for pvp that wasnt prophecies

2.everything for pve that wasnt like prophecies

3.not enough skill balancing, and when it occurs its bad.

Nuff said...

1. Blood Song move from communing to channeling. Even after 90 pages of support on why that was a stupid move they left it alone.
2. Factions not meant the campaign itself, but the silly concept behind it that split the community in half and introduced Grind into GW in the form of Faction.
3. Grind for PvE skill power rather than an alternative method of managing PvE skill ranks. PvE skills should be a separate rank in itself to manage those PvE abilities. They should be treated no different than any other skill in the game.

For example you should only have 200 attribute points to spend on the following.
Domination (1-12)
Illusion (1-12)
Inspiration (1-12)
Fast Casting (1-12)
PvE only skills (1-12)

Guild Wars WAS about skill over grind pre Factions.

1. Factions Pre-Order
2. Grind titles
3. Splinter Weapon nerf

lol this is a easy one

1.-Mobius Strike nerf that will eventually come (sp = killed hoto= killed hell why not mobius strike while ur at it anet)
2.-z chest
3.-gw2 instead of utopia (2 years of playing for nothing wtf anet)

ill change my #1

Only been playing the game since factions came out, but I think I can still have a say

1. Nerfing paras the first month NF came out.
2. Inscriptions
3. Tying things like armor and skills to title tracks.

1) Loot proportional to party size.
2) The new favor system - I hated Europe hogging it all the time, but this will make ecto prices plummet.
3) HoM only accepting maxxed titles. Some titles are big of an accomplishment on their own at level 1 for Pete's sake!

1)AoE Nerf #1
2)AoE Nerf #2
3)Factions release(spending 5 minutes getting a hench unstuck every time I moved in Kaineng City? No thanks.)
