I wondered that too. I mean everyone has their personal preferences, maybe the whole team consists of many classes but only one mesmer, and that mesmer does not like the staff for example as a weapon. So it will never be balanced, allways a tiny bit weaker etc…
Horrifying nightmares of every MMO… :s
There’s over 300 people in the ArenaNet offices. I’m pretty sure every possible race/class/weapon combo is covered.
Over 350, they’ve been hiring since launch
Don’t I know it. I’ve been trying to get a couple friends up here by spamming job listings at them. Anet, give me an environment artist slot so I can persuade one of my BFFs to move.
it doesn t surprise me anymore that is srill a broken class. Who cares? Not dev….
Hanging out on my necro with friends.
MM in pve, nuff sed.
Preeeeetty much this.
There’s a substantial difference between the question “What profession do they play?” and “What profession do they play well enough to understand what the vast majority of the playerbase has known for a year or more?”

Doubtful. The recent patches proves that out of 300+ people in Anet, not one plays Thief or Necro.
Rolling a profession is not the same as playing the profession. Because having a Thief or Necro will not open your eyes on a lot of problems the profession have. Once they start playing the profession, they will be enlightened and see, for the first time, how much they have starved and neglected the profession.
I wish they really play every profession and admit that both Necro and Thief, by extension Elementalist too, are monotonous and boring. They need more options like power options to Necro, more weapon set for Thief, and weapon swapping for Elementalist.

Full set of 5 unique skills for both dual-wield weapon sets: P/P and D/D – Make it happen
PvE – DD/CS/AC – If that didn’t work, roll a Reaper or Revenant.
Odd that the plethora of devs who play rangers didn’t flood the forum.
Funny that you mentioned that. A couple of Devs whom I’ve seen in the Mari and Wurm events in my server were both Rangers.
