Team Lead: “Alright guys, let’s think. How can we make the quickest return on cash?”
Noisy meeting room: “Expansion… more power creep… new elites… more vertical maps… remove more amulets… gem store only patches… stop wasting time on legendaries… less living story, more outfits… more raids!”
Team Lead: “Wow you guys nailed it! Next expansion it is. I know our community will oversee the lack of quality content and balancing when we show them how cool the next expansion will be. One thing, we have a STRICT release date, so accomplish what you can, and if it can’t be finished cut and piece together as much of the content as you can!”
In all seriousness, I’m right there with you. We should have had separate PvP balance since the beginning of the game. Anet and or NCSoft decided the best route for the game was to put most of their resources towards another expansion asap. While I personally think this is the wrong decision, I don’t think it would be easy for someone to argue that they made the right decision and will not lose a lot of their player base do to lacking content and quality.
I don’t have any hope after trying to be optimistic over the past 3 patches. They will not deliver at this rate, and myself and small group of friends have found better games to invest our time in.
It’s also sad that almost no one replied to even +1 the idea, just shows how true cynical and or apathetic the PvP communities attitude is at this point.
