I'll put these three links here, because they illustrate the topic well:

Zoyita, I'm really sorry for what happened to you.
First that a scammer took your money, and such a large sum at that.
Second that the reply from the support was so disappointingly useless and dismissive.
Third that you have to suffer all the ac…
I wrote and deleted a wall of text to save you the pain of quickly scrolling down.
In my opinion the post is not a good reason the ban someone from the forums. biggarfoot, try to appeal. I'm not sure if it'll help, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Oh yes, and there's this cash shop which while not mandatory, seems to contain items that would be strongly desireable by the average player, such as extra bag spac…

Is there a phone number?
What is it?
My account is completely borked. They're not responding to me.
There is a live chat option. It's technically on the GW1 site so it's for GW…
I think this is relevant.
A post about error 9 on GW2's facebook account:
"We have noticed a higher volume of players reporting they get Error Code 9, this implies that your account is not able to participate in headstart. If you are a prepurc…

I think the support is buried under all the requests/problems, so their response times are not particularly fast.
I've received the first non-automated response the third day, but I don't know what the average response time is ATM. Since you can't …
Just summarizing the reasons I've seen listed so far in various threads:
-Funcom's reputation ("Failcom"): many MMORPG players are not willing to give any of their products a chance anymore
-cash shop; some people refuse to play a subscription…
Ironically, one of the ArenaNet devs himself said that you only get one chance to make a first impression.
I hope they manage to solve the problems today.

As frustrating as it must have been for you to watch a game based on a beloved franchize struggle because player feedback was not taken into account (if I got the gist of your post right), rubbing it …
IDK if the situation is really that bad for Funcom, but it's safe to guess that TSW isn't doing as well as they've been hoping.
I'm a bit surprised by this.
Despite Funcom's tarnished reputation, TSW is a fair attempt at a different MMORPG.
I c…
I voted "undecided still."
I plan to play all of them eventually. I'm an altoholic and ArenaNet made all professions appealing, even the ones I was never attracted to in other games.
After a few months I'll see which one will emerge as my mai…
Originally posted by Loke666 That is a class balance issue, which they of course are working on as well. But if the general game isn´t challenging enough it doesn´t have what it takes to keep the players long term. If a game without gear progression…
If that's true, I hope they will also tweak the difficulty for soloers. Doing the personal story alone, or being the only participant in an event was really difficult, almost impossible in many occasions. It felt like I was tackling group content al…
If you logged in GW2 without a problem, but you can't login into GW1, just one question:
Did you change your password?
I had a similar problem, only I couldn't enter GW2 BWE after I changed the password to my GW account in GW1.
No matter what…
I think I said it before, but I'll repeat it.
Whatever impact, if any, the new WoW expansion will have on GW2, it's only a short term effect (few months).
ArenaNet/NCSoft raked in something with prepuchases, I believe the sales in …
