sorry , maybe I am a bit sensitive when it comes to the Mrs. in my own life, but the lady was trying to fill some big shoes. What she posted on reddit was something you would expect from an inexperienced player no doubt. But here treatment on the GUru forums was bad form, no matter what, that's how I saw it. Mods should be ashamed.
Did you read her response on that thread?
I feel she handled herself very well and it didn't seem to affect her at all.
Yeah, she did do a good job of it. Just saying, if you were to just read the Guru forums, it comes off way too harsh and some people post way more level heade posts that get deleted quickly, yet this was allowed to just go on and on. I am not a TB fanatic, but the community over there needs to simmer down a bit. IMO
Guru does indeed seem to have their fair share of 'special' people from the depths of the internet, however they are certainly not all bad.
Fingers crossed though that maybe Arenanet will provide some official forums this time around. Then at least we have somewhere to go where the moderation, in theory, should be somewhat decent.
in that recent live interview when asked about it they did the whole cannot confirm or deny bit.. to me that means they are seriously thinking about it. I only hope its NOTHING like the WoW forums and if it is harassment is dealt with firmly and swiftly.

And then people wonder why some say they have reservations about playing this game because of the community.

BTW I am talking both on the official forums and in game.

Those people are foolish in my opinion.
There is not a single online game out there without some bad apples roaming the online community. To deny yourself a good game because of them just means that they win and you miss out.
Besides, bare in mind that every person who flames, that I've noticed at least, do so because they are defending a game they are excited for. When you meet these people in game, in the cooperative setting that Arenanet has created they are likely to be perfectly amicable.
In short, I think the cooperative environment in the game will likely help to counteract the bad apples in the community.
Edit: Also lol at how much this thread has been derailed now. Sorry op.
all in all the GW community has been the best I have seen in ANY MMO... and I have played quite a few >.< too many IMO lol
Yea I watched it when it came out and it was perfectly fine. The open world PvE seems somewhat easy so far and the place i've seen people struggle the most are personal story instances and dungeons. I am waiting for more Totalbiscuit videos too. I hope he will have dungeon footage because the one from curse was awful.

Yes it was a fine video , didn't intend to derail the thread with spousal abuse
He said that there will be 24 hours overall of detailed gameplay footage
no he said he would LIKE to get around 24 hrs worth of footage and has said in every video how if would be a bit because of his schedule
