lokh.2695 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Hi, title says it all... But how will a suggestion sub-forum save the far....eh the game you say? It's easy. A suggestion sub-forum will gather all the suggestions in a sepparate sub-forum which will leave all the other information more accesable for newer players that want to inform themselves about the things that are already in the game. Those new players will be well informed and thus more willing to try out the game. They will try it out, buy the expansions and loads of gems. They will tell their friends about the game, who will then again buy all expansions and loads of gems. And so we will save the game from its impeding doom. But wait, there's more. A suggestion sub-forum will gather all the people interested in endless discussions about playable Tengu, fishing as a most necessary feature, player housing, more anime stuff and so on in one place. There the bestest suggestions can be found that will make everybody happy. ANet will know how to implement new kawaii tengu fishing rod into the game and that it will sell for a bazillion gems thus generating revenue and again saving the game. That's far from the end. Having a suggestions sub-forum will make it so, that all negative people. People who don't want to save the game by awesome suggestioning because they are evil, can ignore the suggestions sub-forum which will make the discussions in the suggestions sub-forum have more quality to have more quality suggestions. More quality suggestions will make it so that ANet will have more better ideas from players that will make more money if the ideas get put on the gemstore. You see, suggestions sub-forum is the tripple whammy and at this point maybe the only way to save the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coso.9173 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I actually support this. I love seeing what other people would like to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Pj.2193 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 The idea is great. Unfortunately it will turn into a discussion sub forum. If there were a way to limit what is posted there, without direct moderator assistance, it would make it more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockhead Magee.3092 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Anet struggles to get things done that they're working on already (hello alliances????) Piling more things for them to be distracted by feels like the wrong thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halandir.3609 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 lol - we all saw what you did there. Now enjoy the same fate as less ironically based suggestions. No worries. In the future this game will only have a cult following of 10-20 diehard phorum negaholics. Chances are that most of the provoking phorum suggestions will die out years before that.

Manasa Devi.7958 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 Great idea! They should name this sub-forum "room 101". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeyspit.3965 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 But isn't that most of what is posted here? Sure I see posts asking questions, and others sharing stories about things that have happened, but the vast majority of threads I've seen are people talking about what they want to see added to the game, removed from the game, or altered in the game, followed by the usual bevy of people agreeing with them, disagreeing with them, offering alternatives, or telling them to Git Gud, Dodge, or Adapt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kharmin.7683 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I'd rather be discussing the game instead of discussing what some people feel the game needs. /shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 The [old forum](https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions ) did have a suggestion subforum. They dropped it. They gave a reason that suggestions were better in the specific subforum, eg pvp suggestions in the PvP subforum, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forums are already organized in such a way that the team and mods can easily read and collect info for specific areas of the game. The current setup is logical. What you are asking for will be a free-for-all info mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 If there's a "rejected" suggestion forum you can dump the terrible ones (increasing legendary/ascended stats for example) into archives. Along with all the threads about other games that are unreleased that will be "the end of this game" , that provide nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentMoore.9453 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 *Opossum noises* Best leave the general discussion trash heap alone. When mods see a more specific home for a thread, it gets moved. If it's a more general topic then, well, seems like we're in the right place. This is the catch-all bin, this is the clearance section; you shouldn't expect it to be tidy. People complain about duplicate threads and necromancy threads and suggestions from 84 years ago that a new player thinks are fresh, but that's the nature of general forums no matter where you are. It doesn't matter if a thread is a suggestion or just an observation, it will become a discussion and therefore this is exactly where it deserves to be. Stirring the toilet around doesn't actually achieve anything - Ya gotta flush. This is also probably a good time to mention that clickbait titles about WE when expressing a _personal opinion_ and NEED when expressing a _want_ regarding DOOM as it pertains to forum maintenance _outside of the game_ are not super convincing ways to get people to take you seriously.

Cobrakon.3108 Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I read somewhere something to the effect that the devs don't look at suggestions because then its not their idea and it can cause some sort of copyright issue. I might be remembering incorrectly but something in the ball park of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might be remembering incorrectly but something in the ball park of that. You are remembering it incorrectly. The quote you are thinking of came from Gaile Gray many years ago and basically said if it isn't suggested through official forums or equivalent then they couldn't freely use it. For example, a suggestion mailed to them would not be used, but a forum suggestion was free usage for them The game is replete with forum suggestions used in game ranging from big things like the mastery system to minor things like the calling mobs who were between vet and champ difficulty "elites". There is even an elite spec suggested on the forums which made it into the game (think it was the Weaver) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that name is already used by the Devs to reference the Forums as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
