Guild Wars 2

- People complain that elite specs are too powerful and that the game is Pay 2 Win

- Anet nerfs elite specs in response

- Same people complain that elite specs are useless and that their initial strength was only there to get people to buy the xpac

How is this funny?

Or maby A-net needs to learn what nuance is? Maby not create an entire group of new classes. that can just outright destroy everything and anything it comes across even other elite specs? It’s not just elite spec vs non elite. No even amongts elites fights are shortlived. often the winner is determined on which spec hits harder?

That happens because, Anet balance work does not work at all, and they release new spec with half stuff of the core classes being useless in hope of all players adopt the new elite spec….

They might update some skills, but they will never hit what is to much because that is what gw2 is about, be clever use what is broken.

Nerfs aren’t popular and anet doesn’t realize power creep is killing pvp. 2 things that smell bad. But let’s wait and see the first balance patch before anything. At least it won’t be in 6 months, for once.

Here’s an even funnier scenario:

Anet nerfing something.

Since launch Anet’s “nerfs” have been minimal, and all they continue to do is buff the weakest specs…

They use power creep instead of using nerfs and balance.

Well guess what?

HoT elite specs just buffed everyone’s damage
….yet our health pools remain the same.

You can’t just power creep forever and ever….. you have to do some proper nerfs and proper balancing once in a while otherwise you end up where we are at in pvp.

Build diversity is at an all time low, and most players are funneled into running a handful of the same cheese builds…

Fights no longer require paying attention, using cooldowns wisely, or any type of awareness…. it boils downto who blows their cooldowns first.

…and unless everything gets nerfed we are eventually going to have a 1-rotation 1-kill meta. (we’re already pretty close to this if not already there)

…we want skill based pvp back…. but we will never get it for two main reasons.

1) The game (especially pvp) is dead and anet wants to encourage pve players to pvp.

…so they facilitate new players simply loading a cheese build… and as long as you know how to copy a build and activate skills you will be able to kill things.

2) Anet has no idea how to balance pvp because they don’t even play their own game.
All they see is the forums….
…and they don’t know the difference between legitimate and frivolous concerns, because the forums are filled with whiners.

thanks for reading.
