Guild Wars 2

Hi,
I just met you, and this is crazy .. but here’s my rant, so read it maybe?

I hope this broke the ice, apologies for using your name as the title.
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t being informative, persuasive and interesting part of the basic rules of Marketing?

Don’t you want to keep your players up-to-date on upcoming bug fixes/balances to the current PvP? Take an example of a successful esport – League of Legends – They have an ever-updated Reddit to keep their players up-to-date on what they are currently fixing in the game to prevent those crys for balances and eventually..people just quitting this game for the lack of information.

How long does it take for the team to realize that the obvious fixes to the current “meta” requires a shave? does it really take 6 months to shave certain known classes such as engi/ele/necro/warrior and the celestial meta in general?
Is it really that hard to see what the pro players are exploiting in their team comps in the weekly tournaments over and over again?

If anet is an esport fanatic as it claims to be, those balances are rather obvious and should be dealt with rather in short periods than once every 6 months…and BEFORE THE TOURNAMENTS for some reason! I really don’t understand the logic in that.

Anyways, that was my little rant…I think the community is not asking for an immediate fix to every “issue” in the game but rather small, accurate, and pointed issues to the obvious over powered builds/sigils/amulets in this game that requires tweaking.

TL;DR: Take baby steps into fixing the game rather than taking 6 months to fix the game until people come to realize another imbalance in the next period.. There’s no way you’ll have a perfect balance patch even if it takes 6 months to figure out because there will always be certain classes that have an edge over others.
