I so very much loved GW1 and was So very much Utterly disappointing with GW2, now im aching for an mmo, so my question is if this issues are still in the game.
1- When i left more than a year ago, this game should have been called kite wars, is this still the case?
2- The game had a god awful stacking system for buffs and debuffs, with no UI customization which made it all the worse as it was harder to track, are both this issues still present?
3- Lack of proper trinity (healers in particular) made spvp dreadful and next to nobody played it, ironic in a pvp oriented game, are healers still missing?.
If these were your issues then yes, they’re still here.
1. In what respect? The most common tactic in dungeons now is stacking.
2. No UI customisation. Not sure what your issues were with the buff and debuff stacking system are, so can’t comment.
3. No healers, although given the game advertised as having no healers this shouldn’t be a surprise.

-Well there is still a ton of CC and such as any MMO should have, and you will also have kiting, but IMO this HAS gotten better.

-Still a lot of stacking in PvE obviously, but Anet is starting to reward dungeon bosses and such in order to stop stacking, so this is also being fixed. UI CANNOT be moved around…still
3- Lack of proper trinity (healers in particular) made spvp dreadful and next to nobody played it, ironic in a pvp oriented game, are healers still missing?.
- Still no “proper” healers, but there is always the Elementalists running a “healing” build, or a guardian, but still no “Holy amazing healer” that does only heals
Hope this helps
Thats too bad, i hoped that with the dyeing population they have they would have realized by this point, that this sucks.
Today i entered lions arch and rata and they are basically dead…
LA is always packed when I go there. It’s practically the capital of all of Tyria.

You do know that a new area just got released?
It appears that none of the posters understood your questions.
1- Skills have been retuned so that they are more in place. There is no CLEAR upset between class dueling and different classes excel in different parts (necro/guard/ele WvW, warrior/mesmer PvE). For bosses, there was a re-release of the Queen’s Gauntlet lately and it brought a plethora of hard bosses. In general, for PvE, kiting is still a pretty viable option.
2- UI customization hasn’t been touched much to my knowledge. However, I never did have a problem with it. Speaking on buffs, they’ve changed it (I believe) so that the priority is party>guild>pugs. This way, you share buffs with your party before anyone else. Just don’t have 5 guards in a party stacking might, you’re wasting buffs.
3- Each class gained a new healing skill. One class-wide healing skill was introduced as a countermeasure to conditions. Guild Wars emphasizes on it’s lack of trinity, it’d be remiss to just introduce it again. If you don’t like PvP, I guess it just isn’t for you then.
Each class gained some new traits as well, such as Guards having the ability to share their Virtue of Resolve with nearby allies – sort of a heal I guess?
Anyway, you won’t know until you’ve tried. I’ve taken breaks from GW2 and come back before. Just give it a chance, who knows, you may even like it.
Sorry guy, you best look elsewere to fill you MMO needs. The things you pointed (also pointed by the people above me) are still present, still unresolved and will probably remain like that for years to come.

I’ve very much noticed this to be a common trend.

Where we can’t stack we kite.
3- Lack of proper trinity (healers in particular) made spvp dreadful and next to nobody played it, ironic in a pvp oriented game, are healers still missing?
Well they haven’t introduced the holy trinity, so I guess yes.

Well I’m not sure if you’re assessment of the population is correct… when did you last check? If any time in the last few days I can assure you most people are playing the new content. Maybe it’s because of the redesign of LA, they separated things a bit, so you no longer have so many people crowding in the same area. Probably still see a lot of people around the mystic forge.
