Guild Wars 2

I know this has been mentioned and I don’t know if there has been a statement yet on it or not, but I was wondering if ANET plans on making changes to support such that it actually rewards one for doing it. I love WvWing and doing boss fights as a support spec guardian but frankly if you want any kind of credit you have to do damage.

A better system for counting participation would be nice, but that still doesn’t address the fact that if you do a lot of support activity, you aren’t tagging mobs. That means no loot, and loot is where the money is to be made. One good drop can easily surpass a week’s worth of event farming, in terms of gold.

Even if you were getting the credit that you’re due for helping in the fight, you’re still getting the short end of the stick from the lack of drops. Not sure how to get around that.

I was initially excited about the fact they got rid of the Triad (dps, tank, healer) but then they didn’t work out the Dynamic Event system for support persons. This means everyone has to be pure dps.

This makes it zergfest.
