Sent i sidste uge skete der ting og sager i Guild Wars 2 forummet. Skribent på spillet, Jessica Pride, skrev et tweet rettet mod youtuber Deroir, der havde havde kommenteret på et blogopslag, som Jessica havde skrevet tidligere på ugen. Til kommentarerne skrev hun:
"like, the next rando asshat who attempts to explain the concept of branching dialogue to me--as if, you know, having worked in game narrative for a fucking DECADE, I have never heard of it--is getting instablocked. PSA."
I diskussionen der efterfølgende startede på Twitter og Reddit gik en anden skribent, Peter Fries ind og forsvarede sin kollega, og gjorde i stedet brug af en lidt mere velovervejet tone. Nu er begge skribenter blevet fyret fra ArenaNet.
"Recently two of our employees failed to uphold our standards of communicating with players," udtalte Arenanet co-founder Mike O'Brien til GamesIndustry. "Their attacks on the community were unacceptable. As a result, they're no longer with the company. I want to be clear that the statements they made do not reflect the views of ArenaNet at all. As a company we always strive to have a collaborative relationship with the Guild Wars community. We value your input. We make this game for you."
