Guild Wars 2

Do you think it is a problem that the devs must watch and play only on NA?

Is this the reason for lack of attention balance?

If they watched high level EU team and solo Q would they address the broken specs in a more timely manner?

Remember things like nerfing sigil of paralysation. I don’t really think many top EU warriors ran that but anet thought fixing the bug might influence the meta. Were they basing their information off NA? There are many other examples of when devs don’t really have a clue what people play (minion master being nerfed – nobody plays this at the top of solo or team q in EU – although nerfing it is a good idea because it is BS).

It is worrying that NA died completely and few good players remain there. Because I think it is causing problems with anet basing balance decisions off flawed builds

What are you going on about? The developers don’t pvp here either…which can be shortened to: “The developers don’t pvp”.

The devs are from NA, why wouldn’t they only play in NA? Even if it is a problem, it is an unavoidable problem.

Pretty much this

@OP

It is not a NA vs EU thing. Certain specs are equally broken on both.

Joke
No, cz they would get wiped and buff warior signet passives even more.

Real idea/suggestion
I seriously hope they are at least watching some Twitch streams. Easiest way to see whose ahead of who.

???
In what meta would anyone have said "hey he is running a buffed healing signet! this is gonna be such a good fight!!!’

It has nothing to do with NA or EU… it has nothing to do with ‘in what meta’… the problem is that Anet doesn’t have a good idea of what a makes a fun game.

Honestly it makes no difference. Even if they played on EU they aren’t going to do small balance changes every 2-3 weeks like they should be. They won’t listen to what the players want (no skyhammer). And nor will they treat pvp players anywhere near as equally as pve players.

So no, it’s not a problem.

Also, sigil of paralysation was used on more than just warrior. Mesmer and thief could abuse it very well as well.

New World Order.

Soon the EU will get to fully experience the nonsense that we in the US have had to endure. Looking at you next Asia.
