From what I’ve seen on the various profession forums, it seems like everyone thinks their profession is super underpowered but every other profession is super overpowered.

Why is this? What is it about this game that has so many people chronically convinced that they’re the underdog?

I main Ele and Necro, though I have an alt of each profession at level 80.

Everything I say is only in reference to PvE and WvW.

It’s called “PvP.”

Pick one, a few, or all:

  1. “I like to complain a lot.”
  2. “I like to complain all the time.”
  3. “It just gives me a reason to complain.”
  4. “Because someone else is complaining about it.”
  5. “Because Bob’s GW2 Blog is complaining about it.”
  6. “Because Anet hates me and wants me to complain.”
  7. “Did I mention I like to complain?”

Because whenever someone fails, they are not willing to admit that they are to blame for their own failure, so they feel the need to blame someone else, in this case ArenaNet.

Players are not exactly very smart, on average. I think, PvE wise, Guardians, Mesmers, Necromancers and Elementalists are balanced now.

treadmill, of being in that obvious pattern of every time I catch up you are going to
put another carrot in front of me” – Mike O’Brien right before Ascended weapons
