yeah, you saw it here first time. “Need” needs to stop. I roam arround the GW2 forums, encountering nice and raging threads about so many many things in GW2. Then I come to the WvW boarder lands… I mean sub forums. And I see imidiatly 3 or 4 “need” posts, where the author has figured it all out.
Summorised they may sound like this:
Thief NEED to be nerfed. Cuz I don’t like’em.
Thief NEED to be buffed. Cuz I like’em.
Siege Mastery XYZ NEEDS to be removed/changed. Cuz I don’t like it.
Siege Mastery XYZ NEEDS some serious buffs, cuz I’d like that.
Condie dmg NEEDS to be nerfed. Cuz it’s OP.
Condie dmg NEEDS some buffing, cuz ppl cleanse my condies and use melandru runes.
and so on…
This game is so not balanced.^^
But what rather annoys me, when some1, who has no clue about any balance issues and was just rolfstomped by smth, acts like he has figured everything out. And his solution: Remove the thing that I can’t beat…
On the “needs” subject, I could care less…people will always find something to complain about and anet can not make everyone happy so these types for threads will never end. Its just the mentality of players, “casuals” vs “hardcore” (generalizing use of the words, as a lack of better words)
As for Balance, People shouldn’t expect this level of balance in WvW. There are to many variables in play. Do you balance around 1v1? What will that do to 1vX? Or how will it effect 20+v20+? Do you balance around zergs? How will that effect small scale fights?
Imo, anet has done a over all good job “balancing” WvW. I know my hard counters and either choose not to fight them or try to use the fight as a learning experience, I feel I’m a above average player but I don’t expect to win every fight. If I get ganked by a GC thief, it was my fault, I wasn’t playing attention and he capitalized. Contrary to popular belief, thieves don’t come out of no where and can’t stealth long enough to catch up to you from the point of culling.

I agree some things are unrealistic that people want changed. But some things are totally justified. Things like:
- We NEED to have a functioning group UI in WvW that works the same as the Group UI in any PvE zone.
- We NEED to have a overhaul of the Commander and Squad system to make private/guild only squads and have better functions overall for commanders.
- We NEED to have the AC LOS exploit addressed.
I’m sure there are more, but these are things that we’ve been asking for since the game launched. When it comes to balancing abilites, that’s a little tricky. But basic grouping functions and expoits need to be addressed like 6 months ago.
What else do you expect when a game was designed by casual people for the casual masses, and said masses get killed by someone “not-so-casual”…..
Besides they all know if they whine enough everything will get “adjusted”…It has been proven many times.
The single biggest problem in this game is that there are large groups of people that think they should win every fight. And when they do not, they think surely whatever or whomever beat them is OP.

I disagree with these being a “NEED” they are more of a quality of life changes. I do think they need to be addressed but they are not game breaking like the AC issue.
Need posts are the same posts as everything else. People don’t like what the game is offering so they suggest ways to improve. They justify their suggestions by stating a perceived imbalance. Now whether that imbalance is right or wrong, who knows… but making a QQ thread about people QQing is not productive.
If you don’t agree with it, post in that thread why you don’t agree with it (but do it sensibly because ANet likes to use their Infraction Wand like it grows on trees). At least if you do it that way instead of this way, you may actually suggest something that the other player hasn’t thought of and that has changed his viewpoint.
But QQing about QQing? QQ….

And it is truly amazing how many players can’t grasp the rock/paper/scissors aspect of the game. GW2 has LOTS of faults, but expecting every class/spec (no matter how well played) to be competitive any other class/spec … in every context no less … is just ridiculous. Somebody not posted this not long ago, which I thought was hilarious:
“Dear ANet,
Rock is over powered.
Paper is fine.
signed, Scissors"

And its Anets own fault for advertising the classes like this. No trinity → people misunderstood → even more complaining than usually.
