Q: What do you do in the Guild Wars community and where can everyone find you?
A: Hello all llamatrons, RandommUser here! I’m Youtuber, Redditor and your friendly neighbourhood map breaker. You may have also heard about Secret Toymaker, secret santa event for Guild Wars 2 community that I help to organize.
You can find me on Youtube, Twitter and also every Reddit post over at /r/guildwars2
Q: Did you hear of/play GW1 and what was your experiences/ you're impressions? What is your earliest memory if so?
A: Unfortunately I did not get to play Guild Wars, at the time I was hooked into a game called World of Warcraft. I wish I had play it though, all that lore…
Q: Did you/are you playing other MMO's? What attracted you to them?
A: As I already said, the second MMO I have spent most time with has been WoW. Currently
I’m only playing GW 2, but I have played/tested: Wildstar, Archeage, Black Desert Online, Echo of Souls and others I have since forgotten. I like RPG games in general and having others to play with makes them so much more entertaining.
Q: When did you start playing GW2 and what got you involved in the game itself?
A: I started Guild Wars 2 couple months after the release, around the first Halloween. What got me to the game was when me and handful of classmates wanted to try it out. From the original group only one is still actively playing and another every now and then. I guess the game isn’t for everyone :)
Q:What have you enjoyed about GW2 and what has kept you playing?
A: Everything! Well, maybe not zerg trains in WvW but everything else; combat, questing, lore and of course the community. What keeps me playing is the awesome community, all the awesome people I get to enjoy the game with. That is something you can’t just replace.
Q: What has been your favourite memory of GW2?
A: I would say it has to be when I help a guildie finish her legendary and see the joyjumps when she equipped it for the first time.
Q: How do you feel about the upcoming expansion HoT?
A: I’m looking forward to it. So far they have released quite little info about it, but I have no doubt it will be awesome.
Q: What class do you main/ What is your least liked class and why?
A: My main class is elementalist, I like the variety the class has. I don’t have least liked class, though least played would be ranger.
Q:What is your opinion on the lore of the game?
A: Might not have the same depth as Warcraft, but I do enjoy it.
Q:Is there a place, theme or person you would want new content to include?
I would like to explore more of the Tyria.
Q: What do you speculate as the next possible race?
A: Tengu. That might be quite common idea, but I see it as the most logical choice unless they just whip out a new race out of nowhere.
Q: What is your favourite PvE content [Jumping Puzzles, Guild Missions, World Bosses, dungeons ect] and why?
A: Guild Missions, nothing beats 30 people derping around, just having fun.
Q: Do you do Guild Missions, if so, which one is your favourite and why?
Yes I do Guild Missions, since I’m the one leading them in the guild. Nothing beats Boobadoo hunting.
Q: Do you duel [if you do so], what has drawn you to it, and why did you choose WvW dueling over a PvP Arena?
A: It is nice to challenge yourself and see how you fare against other players. I prefer WvW dueling since you can’t get the same build in sPvP as in the Open World.
Q: What do you enjoy so much about the profession you play as most and why?
A: I like to switch things up and play quite a few classes. Current flavor of the week is thief.
Q: What build do you run for that class?
A: I have been using venom share condi build.
Q: How did you get started with the community, what inspired you to get involved?
A: My first content was an image album from me map breaking the Reliquary and from that post onwards I have been doing map breaking as a hobby and I continue sharing my explorations with others. During that 1.5 years I have also done all kinds of things from patch preparation post, organizing community events to making “hype” montages.
Q: Why do you think GW2 has such a great community around it?
A: I would say one of the thing is that you don’t need to fight over loots, gathering nodes and can complete events with others.
Q: Could Arenanet do more to curate and develop its community?
They could be more active on Reddit, just saying...
Q: Why did you choose your particular format [Youtube/Twitch/blogs ect] ?
A: I originally started by doing League of Legends videos and then just changed to Guild Wars 2 when I started to play it more. I really would like to stream, but at the moment I don’t have access to good enough internet to do so.
Q: What content do you create? Anything of note coming up soon?
A: I create videos mostly on exploring the hidden areas of Tyria and beyond. I do occasionally do some montages, but they are far and few between.
I did hit 500 subs a month and a couple of weeks ago, so I think I will be doing some kind of milestone montage. I have also been planning on doing a guide serie on getting started with “advanced exploration”, but I need to fix the script a bit due to the leap changes. School does keep me busy so no promises when they are coming out.
Q: How much does the audience and community influence your production/creations?
A: Not that much actually. I usually do videos I want to do, but sometimes I do take request on what the viewers would like to see.

Q: Do you have any advice for people wanting to follow in your footsteps?
A: Start practicing your jumps :P
Q: Who else would you recommend in the GW2 community?
A: WoodenPotatoes, he does good coverage on the news and lore. That_shaman, feeding the news hungry crowd during the dry seasons. Shinryuku, my goto streamer. Others that I really don’t have time to follow: Corvus, Levi and Bootts.
Special shoutout to Mighty Teapot and Malferian for helping out with the Secret Toymaker.
Q: Who is your favourite Youtuber/streamer [non GW2]?
A: Trump, Hearthstone is one of those games I just love to watch but not play. Star_ (Ster/Sterr/Niichts), he never fails to entertain me.
Q: If you could ask another creator or a GW2 developer/community moderator a question, who would it be and what would you ask them?
A: Colin, elementalist sword pls?
