Guild Wars 2

“removed from PvP to promote healthy gameplay”

I got my answer. Apparently removed because abjured lost to a set of builds they had no experience too. Instead of letting the meta develop Anet removed content from the rest of PvP to cater to a small handful of players.

This is a big pathetic joke. You let vampiric runes run rampant on D/D eles for months, but a single team loses to a new build and you immediately remove the stuff they lost to from PvP? kittening disgusting. GW2 will never be Esports. Especially doing kitten like this.

Maybe Anet understands finally that the current mass of NPCs is “not healthy” for a competetive PvP game. They can’t of course delete the whole mesmer class or take away all the necro minions, guardian spirit weapons, ranger pets & spirits, ele elementals, engi turrets, etc. etc… but they can make small changes like this and every step counts imo.

And they did that by increasing the number of player pets/minions/clones in the game? Sounds legit.

And which ones are you talking about? Also gyros?

@Burtnik

So out of 8 original classes, 1 class gets more AI. Even though that’s not perfect, it doesn’t sound too bad to me. Percentaged wise that’s still a step in the right direction. Especially when you keep in mind they made a whole new class with pretty much 0 AI.

And I didn’t say Anet is perfect and Gyros were maybe not the ideal way, but still it seems like Anet wants to reduce AI.
If you disagree then that’s fine. Maybe you have a better explanation why they deleted those runes OP was talking about. But I don’t think they just wanted to kitten some people off…
