Did they just...stop caring or something?

Yep, I can see it now "oh, wait, what do you mean GW2 has ZERO raids... and less than HALF the number of flashpoints... oh and the world has 1/3 the number of quests. Well at least the dungeons and quests give sweet rewards? No? You mean I can buy the exact same rewards for real money? At least the zones are huge right! That's awesome! Oh wait, there aren't ANY mounts? None, zero mounts? I have to walk everywhere? And my walk speed is 1/2 as fast as TOR? Oh christ.... and If I want to get through these huge zones faster I have to buy movement speed upgrades with REAL MONEY. So PVE sucks, at least we have PVP. But there's no PVP gear? No ladder system? No "ranked", pvp at launch. What's this GLORY and RANK crap? you mean I can only spend so much GLORY each day unless I unlock the ability to spend more with REAL MONEY? So if I earn 400 I can't spend it all unless I pay more money?"

As someone that played the GW2 beta TWICE I can freakin PROMISE you that people will be disappointed. Not because GW2 is a terrible game. It's an ok game, but because it's not nearly as good as people want/hope/need it to be. It will be flamed HARD and burned to the ground. For the SAME reason that D3 is right now. It's very easyto see how terribly the cash shop is going to influence the direction of the game. Maybe most people won't see it right away. But I can already see the structures and systems in place. Which is really too bad, too bad indeed.

I have a friend that used to work with the team. There were layoffs a few months ago. That's probably what's being felt.

Writing this post negates your claim of being level headed.

I'm sorry. The person in charge of Caring was let go in the last round of layoffs.

You don't give a flying womprat's *** about the stat of the community team yet you're complaining about the fact that the new community team sucks? Also its clear to me that you didn't listen to the new community team leader's interview because he addresses the F2P issue, the difficulty modes on operations, the development of new operations and a plethora of other issues that people keep talking about. You keep saying they're "ignoring the big issues" but you've YET to say what those "big issues" are. I have given you concrete evidence as to what the new community team is doing. Also, I never said the CEO was on a contract. He actually left to take a job in Singapore because it was a better opportunity.

EA Killed this game, EA will deliver the finishing blow. They're taking devs away from SWTOR and putting them on garbage projects.

I wouldn't answer these morons on the boards either.

The company has a Q & A every week. Maybe they're busy ....WORKING ON THE GAME. Developer time is better spent on game development.

I'm not that worried about the current amount of developer contact. I have a feeling that the CSRs that do comment on the forums do so in a moderation capacity and not as a communication link to the developers. At least, that is what I have seen so far.

yes they do suck, cause the dev tracker has been barren for about a month. we have no info on the upcoming patchs, and the only time they post is to close a thread. the F2P and NM for Denova has been talked about for a while now and beating a dead horse even more isnt anything speciial so no im not going to watch that interview.
have you ever read the forums? there are posts that get to hundereds to thousands of pages and sometimes go without a single dev responce, and most of the time the community team says something along the lines of "thanks for bringing this to our attention" and then nothing gets done about it, if you would like an example this the last round on the PTS forums is a great one.

and where is this "concrete evidence" you speak of, you have not provided links to anything proving any of your claims? as for what the community team is doing nobody knows, its there job to... wait for it... Communicate to the player base about what is going on with the state of the game, not about the state of thier so called community team.

edit: and no i dont give a flying womprats *** about the state of the community team, i want them to do thier damn jobs and give us the info we need/want about the state of the GAME.

"ding"
"achievement unlocked"
"posted in a rediculous thread"

Yay!! Everybody gets one right?

Seriously tho, there are no facts to support most the claims in this thread. Just opinions based on perceptions that are only supported by a notion that the particular answers any given user wants are not being answered. (question changes depending on what angry user you are talking to at the time)
I quick browse of the dev tracker, news and media section of the forums, blogs, pod casts, etc all located on THIS official site debunks the claims made by the OP and some others in the thread.

No offense OP. you made a thread that was meant to be constructive asking for additional speculation and opinions on a perception you, and clearly others have as well. The simple fact is your call out of, "did the devs stop caring" is just untrue. Did we already forget that they halted content development in direct response to the community to create quality of life features such as LFG tool, color matching, and free transfers to which we just recently got? That alone shows they are listening and DO care.

Come on peeps, I'm all for not liking something and voicing what exactly you don't like, but at least be honest with your assessments and not ignore information just because it doesn't support your view. It's like selective hearing lol.
