So is life. Get use to it and get your head out of the sand.

Who didn't see this reply coming? Get your head out of the sand, forget the money you paid to play a product that would not be released until it was "ready"...

I have to say I was also a little shocked with this answer.

Get your head out of the sand? just wow...

I was there all the way through D&L,funny thing is i had a better time when it went FTP.

The forums are still alive and kicking,especially now it's being remade.

Everything is being revamp,new names for the world and a total revamp.

MMO's are incredibly complex beasties & GW2 is one of the biggest launches in history, other than doing like a million betas and stress tests, there not much more a company can do to try and pre-empt insane techniacl issues that come with millions of people storming your onlne world. If you have been through a few MMO launches you all should know this.

To use the word criminal to describe Arena net almost made me shoot coffee out of my noes.

What would you compare it to WOW? Anyone care to share there opeing month experiences that happened there?

I'm not saying that GW2 is perfect and i know it sucks people are having problems but we need to have realistic.

I have every reason to belive Arena net is probably busting there collective Ass'es to try and fix this stuff.

In the grand scheme of things its a pretty good launch. Of what I've been at at launch, its; been better than Wow, daoc, war, Aoc & dcuo
It's been worse than coh, rift & tsw
It's been about the same as swtor & aion

I'm not talking quality of the games here, just quality of the launches.

For me personally SWTOR lauch was better than GW2. All basic features like mail, auction house, chat were working fine. Apart from long queues i had no problems. In GW2 i struggled to log in for a day or two because client was having problem, only to log in and get stuck in overflow to get kicked out again.

So yep SWTOR was smooth sailing in comparison.

Launches have to be measured in scope as well. Considering that it was pretty damn good.

Sounds like all of the issues are with the cash shop, which I want no part of, and as such haven't used...  And I haven't had a single bug or issues with the game...

So, how to play Guild Wars 2 without any issues?  Stop using the f-ing cash shop!

The OP's account definitely was hacked. And while his anger is understandable, it's simply misdirected. First, such things happen in every multiplayer game. And second, blame hackers, not developers or support.

My support ticket was answered. Took CS a couple weeks so the issue was actually resolved long before that but they did answer. I wasn't hacked so I have no clue about how long it takes to get lost items/currency back but GW2 CS does work even if slowly.

General observation here: Chickens. When chickens see another chicken bleeding they will attack and peck that chicken to death.

Apparently GW2 fans do the same. Someone who has been a pretty good supporter of the game makes mention of doubting their feelings on the game and points out a few issues, the others suddenly turn and attack.

To the OP: I still think a reason the main forums were down as long as they were was not the fact they had issues with them, it was more to squelch the complaints and angry posts. Because the first place someone goes for help or official word on game issues is the main forums.

Anet is slowly getting things resolved for players, and they are attempting to keep people updated as much as possible. Simple fact is though, Anet was just not ready.

Reddit.  Facebook.  Twitter.   Mutilple game sites.   All extremely public and don't require ownership of the game in which to participate.

User-only game forums....   Not so much...

You spot the flaw in your argument yet?

Sorry the OP has had some bad luck but its all percentages.

Most firms can pay on time 99.5% of their workforce.  Great number but if a workforce has 5000 people that means 25 people aren't getting paid. It doesn't mean the company stinks.

Looking at GW2 I have no idea how many people are playing but if its around 500 and there are issues with 2% of the player base that means 10,000 people have issues.  So I am not surprised the forum is hit hard but being cold about it, there is always going to be 1-2% having issues. 

This is not taking into account, pc setup, internet provider etc etc etc.

I'm sorry, is that suppose to be the excuse that means people who are the unlucky few, shouldn't get upset or god forbid, vent?  We all react differently to stimulus, whether it's postitve or negative in nature.  I think it's more than a bit rude to tell people how they should feel about things that happen to them, as if your feelings should supercede theirs.

No.  But there is a problem with calling people criminal.   CRIMINAL.   We're talking a crime.  Fraud.  Criminal negligence.    Whatever the pathetic 'poor me' fantasy entails.   And yet the reality is that (a) OP hasn't put on a single shred of proof and (b) the process has been shown to be both working and timely and (c) that OP actually doesn't tell us, beyond some vague generic claim of:

On a personal note so far I have lost $50 worth of gems, 7 gold, and everything that was in my primary bank box.

What the heck happened?   How did the OP lose $50 worth of gems?   How did the OP lose 7 gold?   How did all the bank inventory disappear?

OP doesn't even tell us.   I'm guessing a hack with that kind of damage.  Which means OP bears responsiblity.   No security system will work when the users of that system corrupt it with laziness, incompetence and apathy.

On that I beg to differ. Maybe the GTC was "working" on Launch but it wasn't functional till 1.2 gave it a usable interface.

Let me get this straight...

The OP re-uses an unsecure password and login combo with GW2 that has been used with some other site that has been compromised, and as a result of their own negligence gets brute force hacked, having their gold, gems and items liquidated to fund some overseas gold-framing site, and it is somehow Arena Net's fault?

Haha. tell me another one.

Maybe they should have had 5 hour ques for a week instead so you could bitch about that.

Not hacked the gems just vanished, last night, now I can not even access the trading windows getting an " invalid authorization " message in all the trading windows.

The gold I purchased crafting mats on the auction house, was suppose to be 40s it ate all my money and never did get any of the mats I purchased.

Still as I said before considering I can actually get into the game and its playable I consider myself lucky compared to what I see on the official forums.

They have stated on the forums that it is impossible to lose gold on the AH. If you buy something (it might take some time) but you will get what you purchased. The way the system is designed its virtually impossible for anything to get lost along with way. What more then likely happened is you placed a buy order for an item and its still waiting for the order to be filled by a seller.

I will be the first to admit that there AH system does not have the best interface in the world. It could be improved alot in displaying the information. If you go into using it like you did the AH in WoW then you are going to be confused up the wazzo. Because that is not how the AH works. Think more along the lines of Eve Onlines AH system.

As far as the gems go. If you put in a ticket you will get the gems (if you where not hacked) as everything is logged an they can easily see that you bought them.

As far as getting into the game. There is a % of people having issues. Noone denys that, but I doubt by any stretch of the imagination is 10%. More then likely along the lines of 1-2% of the population (not that, that is acceptable or anything like that). The game has sold way more then a million copies. It's sold so many copies that ANet themselfs have stopped self selling digital copies of the game in there store. An that says something cause direct game sells are one of your biggest money makers when it comes to sells.

Did you even read from where the discussion started or you just wanted to bitch about me bitching? some of you just post to start trouble don't you? even though discussion is being civil.
