Just want to voice my concern with the amount of vulnerability stacks everyone seems to throw around. Does Anet see this as a problem?

Oh boy…

1. This is not just about pvp. There is still pve and wvw. It would be great if there are still some professions who can say “I’m really good a vuln stacking! And that even matters! I have some identity!”.
2. I’m not just talking about one stack of vuln. You don’t cleanse one stack of vuln, but you would cleanse 25 stacks. And thats where my fear lies.
3. Just one stack of vuln is enough to make it way harder to remove the 20 stacks of bleed that are killing you right now.

They will probably keep boss encounters having the 50% duration reduction on vulnerability (which will probably keep its current cap) so not much will change on the PvE front.

Rock, paper, scissors logic plays a role, and it’s just as fine as it can be. I mean, some professions will suffer from conditions, others will just laugh at condition-heavy opponents. As for PvE, let’s just wait and see what this “challenging group content” is all about.
