Since the official GW2 forum is unusable due to Nazi level moderation does anyone else know where to go to discuss the game?

I hit my last straw today when i got a infraction for posting a off topic response which was not off topic.

Thread went like this:

Title: WvW patch when?

OP: When is WvW patch going in game, its said to be march and i would like to know when as right now its unplayable in the zerg.

First response: Yeah they said the patch would fix the culling and skill lag im really looking forward to it, probably going to be end of the month.

My post: Quoted the above reply, and added:

Yeah im fairly new to the game and tried it out(WvW) a few days ago but was very confused due to the culling and lag I kept getting killed by people i couldnt see on my screen and the skill lag was horrible, good to know a fix is inbound soon.


The moderators then moved the thread from general to WvW section, then a different mod infracted the first response for being off topic(not my post, the first reply that i quoted, which wasnt at all off topic) and then 2 hours later another mod deleted/infracted my post for being off topic as well, well guess what idiots first off it wasnt off topic, and second i was quoting and directly replying to a post made in the thread how could it be off topic.

I dont understand how anyone puts up with this so im searching for a new forum to discuss the game on as obviously the official forum is not an option.

There's a thread dedicated to GW2 here on the PC Gaming forums (sticky).

True, already checked it out but its doesnt seem to be super popular around here.

Well, "around here" I.E. probably not in the sense that you'll see 20+ threads related to GW2 within the PC Gaming forums itself, no. But this forums is about PC gaming in general, the dedicated thread already exists, so yeah, you won't exactly see the main forum itself "flooded" by GW2-related subjects.

It is "popular" within its own thread, however. With more than 1,500 replies and 80K+ views, for just one thread, I wouldn't call that unpopular either (heck it has more replies and views than the World of WarCraft's thread, that's gotta say something, right?). At least here you won't exactly feel any sort of permanent or temporary ban hammer-flavored "Nazi-level moderation" if you just happen to merely comment on a subject.

I know reddit has a reputation for being <insert complaint here> but you could also try the GW2 subreddit on reddit. It's well moderated to weed out the memes and semi-childish posts and there's some decent discussion on the game and the various mechanics as well. The weekly discussions they have on the different classes have helped me quite a bit for instance.
