Class Survey System (also question about balance updates)
I think things are pretty balanced as they are right now. It may be a good idea with future content though.
I would like to recommend that Arenanet send out surveys, similar to the ones from the BWEs to members of each Profession at different level ranges. These surveys should ask mostly what main things the person likes, what they don’t like, and so forth. I think this would help Arenanet with balancing things.
Now I understand, much information might be useless as you get things like BEST CLASS EVAR NO PROBLEMS 1337, but I think it would be beneficial data to have to see what major trends/issues there are (Like the possible trend of elementalists being dissatisfied with traits being focused on single element/attunement and not broader)
I also would like to know, if Anet feels like illuminating on this issue, how they will handle Class balance?
I know one thing I’ve really enjoyed in the leadup to release for this game has been the Devs posting their thoughts and ideas to the GW2 blog and I think continuing that open and detailed communication will be vital to the continued success of this game.
