Bout to blow your mind
Playing all classes =/= enjoying playing all classes.
yep, i got 5 classes but i still have my fav an i like it when that class doesn’t feel underpowered.
i think its fair for people to feel that way

@OP: I don’t think you have any idea what balance means. It doesn’t mean that everyone has the ability to go play another class. Balance is about whether the classes are equal to each other.
At least think through what you are going to write before you do it.

I don’t think Arena net cares if clases are equal to each other, hence why they don’t bother attempting to balance for 1v1. (obviously you already knew that).
I also have all classes and I am playing them all (Not at the same time ofc :P)
For example with my engineer I was very fund of playing my Bomb kit engineer, as it is now she get’s nuked and splattered in 2 secs even with Carrion amulet and Dolyak rune. Getting “one-shotted” by a stealthed mesmer, rampage Warrior, wierd thief, Guardian with deadly DPS and Fire damage. Also outside of one-shotting we the elementalists that is almost impossible to kill becouse of condi cleanse + heals and still they do massive damage.
I was so happy to hear about the grenade trait fix, I was happy becouse of the fix and I hope there will be a fix to all other “one-shots”. Why? yes Becouse I wan’t more deversity, I don’t want to play a warrior running Rampage, I don’t wanna play an Engineer with a bugged trait (As it was before), I don’t wanna play a Shatter mesmer with same traits as everyone else, I don’t wanna do exacty like everyone else.
When people complain about inbalance between classes they do not complain about a class in a whole, they complain about a specific build (Most of the time). In my opinion when one build is better than anything else and everyone plays it or has to play it to have a chance of winning then the game is not balanced.

Well, the balance is: 5 of the same classes with the same build against mirror comp.
If u want this then ask for pure balance if not then enjoy Counter Wars since this is the way it ought to be

I believe every class can have a build for 1vs1 that can win in a duel situation. That is, Conquest is excluded. Thief has Shadow Rejuvenation, Mesmers have PU, Elementalists have Focus + current Celestial build, and go on… the problem with that is that duels would never end.
So, as some people pointed out, they are trying to balance the game on 5vs5, which is good (although maybe the changes they make don’t end up being this way…).
So, for OP: I think that your post, more than speaking of Balance, it should be about “Wins”.
I love how people complain so much about X class is OP, Y class is UP. That’s true (looking at engi, at some extent, he has fallen out of the meta). BUT, if you are planning to WIN, you will have to play whatever is in the meta in that moment, anything that is the stronger, you will have to play it if you are planning to Win.
It is that way here in Guild Wars 2, in League of Legends, in any PvP games. Perfect balance does not exist, hence there will be always classes/champs/whatever that are OverPowered. If you are planning to WIN games and not just play to have FUN, then it doesn’t matter if you like X or Y, you will have to play Z because it’s the strongest. And it is that way.
So yeah. Fun = play what you enjoy. Win = play Meta and OP things. It’s just that way.

Except there’re classes that’re straight up inferior in ALL GAME MODES. (WVW, PVP, PVE)
You surely blew my mind. But not in the way you thought.
I think this is a must read for gw2 pvp players. Maybe get it sticky? Just replace all the occurrences of Street Fighter with GW2.
Already quit PvP. Just log in here and there to troll.

This game is more balanced than not…
If your class is sooooo underpowered and weak and x class is soooo OP… then…play x class? what’s stopping you? I don’t get it. I have 7 profs I play. Its not like PvP requires ascended gear/500 crafting/tons of investment/etc. If x prof is so great go play it and stop whining!
People act like they were born a warrior or necromancer or mesmer….its a game peeeps. You can play different characters…not only is it fun but it makes you better in pvp.
And yeah. The game is more balanced than not. I won’t defend all anets decisions, but overall its better than it was at release. If the game feels stale and bad then its probably because you need to move on from the game. You can’t play a single MMO forever.
If my daily says “Ranger or Engineer Winner”, no matter how much I play my “soooo OP Mesmer”, I dont get my daily.
