To nerf or not to nerf
I like fighting warriors, guardians, and rangers the best, then necros and engineers. I dislike fighting mesmers, thieves (especially stealth focused types) and dagger/dagger eles.
The classes I like fighting all have interesting easy to read tells, and cannot regularly dissappear or leave combat at will. Some of them are good at exiting combat, but it either requires good player skill or a very specialized build that is likely weak in other areas. I nearly always have fun and often protracted fights against these classes.
Mesmer and theif have extreme and difficult to read burst, the ability to leave combat basically at will (with little player skill needed), and are just generally annoying and not fun to fight against. The ele has no stealth, but has low CD skills like the cold aura which means you basically cannot attack them while they can move/heal/attack you; also they can easily get away if things go bad for them and very quickly heal up.
I basically agree with the OP’s “The ultimate fun things in SPvP list:” and “Things that hopefully change in SPvP:”
I would add I hope more game modes are released, and do not match pugs against premade in tournys.
The thief needs to be re-designed from the ground up, like they did with the dervish in GW1.
Stealth and initiative are completely broken mechanics.

How would you do that? Give them cooldowns on skills?
I think it wouldn’t be bad, actually help against spamming skills.
But its part of the thief mechanic at the moment.
people need to stop whining nerf this nerf that just because they can’t insta kill one class or the other.. deal with it and learn how to play against those classes effectively instead of whining.

So this is your solution to loads of people who would like to improve GW2, presenting their opinion? “L2P?”
First of all people are not whining because they can’t insta kill, its because they want the lame burst options removed. Or require more skill to be executed.
And of course the bunker, which is just too tanky for a capture the point game.
As this thread shows some points in which the majority of SPvP forum visitors would agree, we are here not to discuss who likes OP builds. But why they are not fun in this setting.
I requested constructive criticism.

Tell me why everyone and their mother has a thief alt these days, if they aren’t OP?

Because thieves are more fun to play than certain other classes. Personally, I use different classes depending on sPvP, dungeons, or WvW. I choose based on my own playstyle and which is the most fun. The balance across the classes overall is pretty good.

Good one!
