Guild Wars 2

Hello, my account name as you all can see is erakus, I am currently in the middle of a statistics course, and for the semester long project, and we were given complete control over the project. So I decided to focus it on the game that I am currently playing for large amounts of time, guild wars 2. The subject, is to figures why people play or don’t play each classes, and to find trends within the information. To collect the information I am seeking, I have created a 5 minute survey that I am hoping you the members of the community will answer. Link Is below. For those curious about the results I will post them after I am done.
TLDR; Statistics course 5 minutes survey I would like answered to find trends amongst the played classes.

I think all the people in this forum who keep saying how challenging the ranger is to play should look at the results of this survey.

I’m gonna pull a Gern a say that this comment proves how toxic the engineer community is because kitten logic.

No class in this game is difficult to play. The game itself isn’t even difficult.

I don’t understand why you are on some sort of bias-driven vendetta against the ranger when the difference of skill in this game is so objective that it is only the difference between whether or not you pressed 4 buttons or 2.

The game is simplistic, autoattacks are too strong, damage is easy to deal and way too spammable, defense mechanics are too forgiving, and passive procs of traits, sigils, and even down the baseline core idea of critical hits, completely ruin any competitive potential the game has otherwise.

This is true for every class. I took the survey and answered that every class is easy to play, because outside of objective comparisons, every single class is.

So what exactly are you trying to prove, other than telling a community of players that suffered from having a terrible weapon since launch that finally got the Quality of Life update it needed that they don’t deserve that improvement because somehow, doing the same amount of inputs, 1, on a single class, is easier than doing the same amount of inputs, 1, on any other class.

If you had any semblance of an idea of what is actually wrong, you would be able to make the most compelling balance argument against the Longbow, and you would be 100% correct. I would know, because I actually know the argument.

Until then, stay on your vendetta, your bias shows right through though.

Also, side note, opinions aren’t facts. Look at that stupid “blue black dress” “gold white dress” internet happening as of recently. No matter how many people argued and fought and thought they had a compelling argument that the dress was that color, it wasn’t factually that color. Perception and opinion, even taken across groups of people, are still just that, opinion, and can easily lack factual basis.

Ranger is a joke in pve and vs terrible players… but all the classes are.

Power ranger is extremely difficult to win on vs any meta builds and semi competent players because it’s so UP.

Don’t be ridiculous, it was blue and gold FACT!

The game is only difficult if your play style doesn’t match your build. This is true for all classes.
