Guild Wars 2

With the recent massive changes to shortbow, its no longer a playstyle I enjoy. After spending so much time putting effort into the game to play the RNG to FINALLY get a ticket to pick up my Fused shortbow skin, im now wishing I could trade it in for the longbow skin instead.

Arenanet really should offer the ability to swap out things like this when they make such huge sweeping changes. Im pretty upset that all my hardwork were for nothing now.

Anyone know if its worth contacting support over this? Has anyone else even attempted it?

Yes I think everyone agrees that the shortbow change was very wrong. You might expect it to happen in Open Beta, but not 1 year after game release. Either they have to tell us that Rangers are still in the Open Beta phase or limit their sPvP nerfs to sPvP.

The ranged combat in the game needs a serious overhaul. Are we really expecting someone with a hand grenade can throw it further than one can shoot a shortbow? Is the shortbow really so weak that it be fired as far as someone throwing an axe?
