Guild Wars 2

This game has become Rock Paper Scissors Online. Some Scissors are very happy now that they can easily defeat Paper. Some Scissors are terribly upset because they can’t do anything about Rock. Most other games have always been like this, but Guild Wars 2 had really raised the bar with balance, not only at the class level but even offering several viable strategies per class. How are we supposed to accept this loss?

By adding Spock and Lizard.

Currently some classes are cheating and using at least 2 of them at the same time. (Like Rock Paper, Rock Scissor.)

True.

This is still more balanced than GW1 whose balance was a total joke.

If GW1 balance is a joke, then GW2 balance is beyond garbage…
In GW1 there’s NOT A SINGLE CLASS that can burst down a target alone within less than 5 seconds. Also there’re perfect balance between condition, heal, hex, and direct damage.

In GW1, there’re countless combination of builds that synergize with each other, and all of them have counter-play.

love when people look at an outdated game through nostalgia goggles that show a completely fictionalized version of things
