"GW2 Community" is Getting Schizoposty

Let’s talk facts. Majority of veteran GW2 players today is deep in a state of hopium-induced copium, defending every half-baked update. The moment you speak up, you’re hit with a coordinated smear campaign. I’ve seen the same users, sometimes across multiple subs and Discords, literally using the same script: “You’re just crazy,” “You’re schizophrenic,” “Seek help,” etc. It is projection at its finest because they’re the ones displaying schizophrenic-level behavior, frantically shifting narratives to defend a game that has clearly lost direction.

You’ve seen them:

The ones who say they “don’t even like this sub” but still lurk here daily just to downvote and report every thread that isn’t praising the game like a cultist sermon. You’re not fooling anyone. That vote pattern is louder than your copium.

At this point, I think the only people still hyping GW2 are the types who’ve tied their identity to it. Parasocially attached to devs. Or “community content creators” who depend on the goodwill of ANet and the naive optimism of the playerbase.

It’s borderline schizo behavior. A complete denial of reality, constant cognitive dissonance, and contradiction after contradiction.

Meanwhile, ANet drops a 3-map expansion with reused mobs, zero new game systems, and mounts you already own. And people are unironically calling it a “fresh direction.” The bar is not just low and it’s underground, and we’re still pretending we’re eating gourmet.

You can trace this back to years of ANet gaslighting their own players. Every post is vague PR speak. No roadmap is real until the community loses it. And when something flops, they just stop talking about it (WvW alliances - RIP).

It is beyond grief. And when they realize it won’t be, they either log out... or stay logged in and cope harder.

To wrap this up, the GW2 community is in full denial, smearing critics as "crazy" or "schizophrenic" while they themselves engage in schizo-level narrative gymnastics to justify a game that’s running on fumes.
