This can't be right.
it’s the same when you write something about a bug. usually the devs read most of the threads (at least i think) but they don’t or can’t answer stuff or on what they’re working.
it’s just arenanet’s 19th century policy.
Everything you have listed has already been commented on by a rep in one form or another months ago if not years. It’s just old news and sadly nothing has changed.
Skyhammer – They want a map voting system for it. They will not delete it.
2v2 etc – They want to keep it unsupported. They want to pursue the 15 minute 5v5 model.
Bank – They want to add it somehow sometime..
Templates – They want to add it somehow sometime..
Modes – They have it and it was leaked and they will add it sometime..
Turrets – Actively reacting to my passives since before paxsports
4v5 – The only thing they can do is add a working ready button to avoid afk from start that will most likely add considerably to the queue times due to population size which reflects from all of the above including lack of ladders.
Personally, I think that 4v5 would naturally be fixed if Anet did the right things to increase population level (new gamemodes, no skyhammer in SoloQ, better LBs etc etc)

nay we had to admit the population base is decreasing, the active playing population at least, anet has their own figures but like all authority figures they are not that accurately measured at best, to put it nicely. skyhammer is not even the basic problem, game modes neither, it is imbeded deeply into the combat system itself.
think about this, how long does it take to kill someone in this game’s pvp mode?
anyone standing still for more than 3 sec is a half dead guy, things happens just way too fast, and it has been the main issue which dev is trying to address for a long time.
they nerfed power build, they buffed condi hope it would slow down the pace, and we end up with a dumb fire epidemic for a good 6 month, they nerfed dumb fire, we see another 6 months of pistol whip/evade spam sd theif, and not to mention the bunker meta they semi intentionally created and x-ed out by themself in this patch.
non of them worked cuz even full bunkers like 2 solider hambow war+2staff cleric ele+X. kills things way faster than they should be.
most pve player quits before they had the interest to figure out what killed them.
a game measures its decision making intervals by 0.5 sec is way too unfriendly too most people in a pvp setting.
Oh by the way, my friend describe chinsese server been dead compared to its launch, bot roaming the pvp ques like zombie horde. good job
I guess this topic won’t see any answer by devs
but they’re a lot stronger
than they will be next year!
