It’s not even him I’m disappointed with. Maybe it was an honest mistake. Maybe he has his terminology all messed up. Even if he is trolling, he did a great job.

The people here are lemmings. The fact that out of 48 or so posts, maybe 10 of the posters here called BS is alarming.

The majority can’t read, couldn’t see the flaw being presented in the OP, and/or just bandwagoned on the whole ordeal. It’s pitiful.

You know what that might do? Get you banned.

Honestly, preach on.

This thread is very alarming.

it is alarming, but not just for the reasons this guy is saying.

people believed there was a nerf not because they are gullible lemmings, but because bad balancing and bugs are so prevalent and common in GW2.

sitting on a high horse and calling people idiots for believing something that happened to be highly plausible is just as unhelpful as the close-minded group-think he complains about.

I noticed this after the patch too and I thought to myself “meh this is a typical unnecessary nerf” still didn’t tick me off as much as the barrage nerf.

Needless to say the sb is now in my bank and now using the axe/warhorn instead.

It’s funny that no one does testing on their own to see if this is true or not.

Not enough people using shortbow post range nerf to genuinely care maybe.

Easy way to test, do a damage calculation with steady weapons in the mists and work out if the co-efficient for shortbow 1 is the same as is listed on the wiki.

Just did it, co-eff still comes out to 0.4 which is what’s listed on the wiki. No damage nerf.

You clearly have never stepped foot into a sPvP match, trying to find a ranger not using a shortbow in there is like trying to find Waldo in a textbook.

This is why no one, especially the devs, can take the ranger forum seriously. There’s the objective answer for that.

If you want to have open honest dialogue, step one is to stop BSing and PMSing over everything you think is wrong and articulate that in a manner that isn’t hysterical hyperbole.

You know what’s not going to work? Calling the one with curly hair the worst dev of all that has no intention of balancing GW2.

You know what that might do? Get you banned.

Oh hey look, a post that made me go out of hiatus

Add in this little gem to drive the point home:

It’s funny that no one does testing on their own to see if this is true or not.

Honestly, this has been here since the start of this forum. If past events are anything to go by, this’ll make those posters rethink their stance for maybe a week, then it’s back to thinking rangers are perpetual victims in ANet’s grand evil scheme to make rangers look horribly underpowered.

This forum in a nutshell: ANet did something! Must cry in the forums! Huh? It’s not a nerf? Sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of my crying!
