Guild Wars 2

It’s time. The meta is shifting. There are a ton more gear stats. Spvp gets a preview at the end of the match. We’ve been in the dark far too long…

I know, I know, I have posted recently about not caring about the numbers too much and am focusing more on having fun, but part of the reason for that is I just stopped caring about the mess of numbers all around… And ok, I can use a build designer too, but those are numbers on a website… I could stand at a training dummy and do some maths, but I’m not. I’m a simple and regular person who’s not going to look at the matrix of numbers and sort them out in or out of game, when a support tool like a personal heal/dps meter can be made in a few weeks…

We need some transparency and we need to have some personal numbers to look at. There is not any valid reason at this point why the team can’t work on opening up the “path” for people to make an app for it. It’s to the point were I could care less if you all designed it for us and sold it on the gem store as a game upgrade. Something…

I’m sure there are lots of tools/programs that exist for you all to use for these purposes, so could you all start sharing the number love already?

Thanks!

This isn’t a new idea. People coming to agree here or disagree aren’t going to change whatever the management at anet believes is the best course of action regarding this topic. Right now I’m sure all their resources are maxed out so even if it is something on the “to do” list it isn’t happening anytime soon. But regardless this is a dead horse topic. Feel free to debate it but I’m sure anet has made up their minds in this and another thread isn’t going to change it.

‘Cause no one would ever demand other’s reveal the results of those meters as a prerequisite for an activity…

I’ve seen parser used to very good effect within a stable, sensible, regular group. But out in the wilds it’s pretty much a tool for pure evil.
