Airstrikes ...
Airship Defense, Dragon Banner and other War Room updates
were probably created to demonstrate the value of Guild Hall Upgrades
where Anet hoped to create an arms race that would generate
game activities and additional gem sales.

In addition to it critically hitting people for 16k and non crit hit for 12.
you talking about airstrikes or revenants here?

Yes god forbid they actually create a well balanced game.

What were they thinking? Probably this:
ANet Dev 1: Dudes. Yo’ dudes I got an awesome idea. What if we like, took away all the player’s already acquired guild upgrades and locked them behind this massive mega lengthy gold grind aka Guild Halls?
ANet Dev 2: Omg man that would be sick, especially the +5 so people can’t just use it in the new borderlands coz’ wow bro’. New maps fully huge. Can’t have people whipping out a nice +5 on a massive new map straight away.
ANet Dev 1: Yeah man, we should totes also make this big ultra next level lag fest PvE event in the middle of the map so it helps break up the blob fights by disconnecting a large portion of the players in the map when it goes off. Every time man. It would be fully sick.
ANet Dev 2: Bro’ man that is goldddd aye’! Speaking of PvE there needs to be more of it in WvW coz’ WvWers are legit really into PvE, remember? Anyway, let’s add really annoying mechanics around objectives and keeps where they hit you off extremely high ledges but it’s random dude. Gotta’ be RNGesus random man. Then add like, these shrines with OP buffs like falling off a cliff with the buff won’t kill you and stuff. Also NPCs dude-bro-man. Everything needs more NPCs everywhere. And gates with auto-turrets on em’.
ANet Dev 1: Mate I think we’re on to something here; PvE banners that do crazyyyy AOE dmg man with tiny CDs and whoah let’s give the banner wielder a BREAK BAR!
ANet Dev 2: YES! We defs need more things with break bars, but not just that – AOE dmg is a hot topic atm. So let’s add MORE of it with even MORE PvE mechanics in the form of… AIRSHIP DEFENSE…
ANet Dev 1: Dude we legit have the best ideas.
ANet Dev 2: Yeah man, promotion-worthy!
ANet Dev 1: -nods-
