So many heavy classes wear Draconic Legs, this is not acceptable. I don’t think ANet intended for this to happen. I think Draconic Legs needs to be nerfed so other inferior leg skins becomes more appealing. Maybe trim off the cloth and shorten it like a skirt. That should solve the problem.
Now what’s the point of this thread you ask? Well it seems whenever something becomes too popular it gets nerfed. It could be a certain built, weapon set, farming spots, or even gears. Yes, gears. Seems like the most recent target for nerfing is Beserker gears because it’s way too dominant. Well, we can’t have that… let’s nerf.
I think we are losing touch with what makes the game fun with all this constant nerfing. Guild Wars 2 is the only MMO game I have ever play that my character has gotten weaker as time goes. New players probably don’t realize how much stronger we were back in release. I mean would Dragon Ball be great if Goku keep getting weaker and weaker?
Seriously, I say enough is enough. Remember there is another way to balance out classes. Something most people would prefer, buff up the weaker class or builts or gears. No more nerfs, lets see some major buffs. Let’s not make every update about balance. Let’s focus on making the game fun again. How about more skills please? How about 6th weapon skill? Or add another utility slot? Wardrobe system so collecting skins is feasible? Ascended gears with interchangeable stats so it is actually build friendly? How about a new system of rewards that give better rewards for any events that have not been completed in some time instead of a fixed reward system that seems to encourage zerging to farm an event over and over? Let me elaborate here. If an event has not been complete each day, the reward doubles exponentially until the event has been completed, so the experience points, money, karma all doubles each day it’s not completed. So it’s possible a simple event say to escort a caravan could yield 5 gold, 10k karma points, 20 exotic chests because no one did that event in over a month. Therefore players will seek out unpopular events with the incentive that it might be one with a lot of loot in waiting. Events that gets farm too often will not have time to accumulate value. There will not be any distinctions between events so there is no way to tell which events will be more profitable. This will discourage players from farming certain events over and over and spread out to all zones looking for profitable events. In fact, would also encourage players to guest to low population servers to find these profitable events. Anyways, getting back to topic, I hope that we can get back on track and make Guild Wars 2 more fun rather than focus so much on deciding what to nerf next.
