Guild Wars 2

Why do you think, thieves survived this long with Perma-stealth?

Why do you think they remain Op, even after this recent “nerf”?

Why do you think they continue to be in-denial of the truth, even when the truth ‘is in their face’

Why do you think they continue to make us feel inferior to them every second, every minute?

Why do you think they can laugh at each “nerf” they get?

Why do you think they will quickly ’gang up on you/ unite, to get you quickly kicked out of their forum for exposing bugs and imbalances of their class?

Why do you think Arena.net still favor them till this day?

Because of their Fidelity, self- preservation, unity- Integrity, to their class.

And yes,

They would ‘fight to the teeth’ and eradicate any threats or harm, that will and would, jeopardize their class in any way possible or impossible.

I’m talking about the Ranger forum, whose threads and posts boasting about the Perma-Fury bug including the most recent posts, threads that exposes more ways to perma-fury.

Seriously,

where is our Integrity, slef-preservation, honor and unity to our class?

where are they?

Well the cost and damage has been done to our divided exposure state, Arenaa.net’ will put an end to the fury ‘bug’ and “hotfix” it as soon as possible.

And yes, including the most recent perma-fury’ exposures in the ranger threads and posts.

As much i hate thief class; not the players, there is one thing i cherish and embrace about their class; that stand out— their Unity, Integrity and Fidelity to their class.

Who would dare expose or admit thief class being able to Perma-stealth, or even Op without being ‘chased out of the universe’? they never gave me the satisfaction of admitting the truth of their class bing OP’

So why we Rangers are so comfortable, and proud of exposing and admitting to any advantage we have (for once in our life-time) ‘perma-fury’ among each other, to other classes, especially to Arena.net ?

Or to support a thread making claims it exists?

Have you ever seen, or read any thief admitting, confessing, boasting of having/being able to Perma-stealth in their forum, especially to Arena.net?

Till this day, say to them that they are a Op/Godmode class, they will deny it ‘to their death bed’.

So why do we do the complete opposite?

No longer we should blame them our Arena.net for nerfing our class to oblivion, or should blame them for making empty promises to our class, or even should blame thieves and warriors for remaining Op even after their “nerfs”.

The only blame we should blame, is ourselves for loosing our integrity and our unity as rangers.

I’m ashamed of being a ranger now; this time it isn’t by thieves, warriors or Arena.net, it is by US.

As the saying goes,

“Discretion shall preserve thee”,

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided”

“When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you”

I think they’re all(for the most part) mindless sheep. Rangers are(in my mind anyway) loners and individualists by nature. That’s why the shed the trappings of civilization to live closer to nature.

And as individuals have shown, some will prosper where others will perish. Such is the fate of those that walk the path of life alone.

then again, we are never alone, because we cant get rid of that (/“#)(¤/)(”/#¤)&&%&&& pet

They nerf us because again and again, the top players of our class continue to find a way to dismantle every other build in a single effective package.

Anet balances from the top, and since some ranger is doing so well with his spirit build, our class gets nerfed.

So you’re upset that they’re fixing a bug that was added to the last patch?

Let me ask you think Burnfall, If a bug existed that let Thieves be immune to our Pets Damage flat out, Would you be ok with that bug existing in the game?

Just because a bug benefits us, doesn’t mean it should be allowed to remain.

Not to derail any but there are still bug out there (at least one from launch I can think of) that benefit the profession they are found on and somehow there is not but silence on the part of the developers.

This may be a case of preferred profession bias, but with some of the fixes/change the ranger has received since launch the some of the community is has (somewhat justified) view of Anet’s quickness to remove advantageous bug from ranger while leaving the pet mechanic flawed and (Peter’s admitted) broken.

Where’s the TL:DR?

Prysin pretty much nailed it anyway.

. . .I play all the classes so I guess I’m an enemy to all?

““When there is no enemy within, the enemies outside cannot hurt you”” – OP

This is so true, I know I’ve never looked at the ranger community and thought “hey I’m gonna share all my knowledge with them!” Granted I’m no loner, but it has been more of a “I’ll watch my back, you watch yours” sorta thing.

We should probably unite more as a community since I’m pretty sure most ranger players have that mindset lol.

Most thief/warrior players tend to just flock to w/ e is. " strongest" at the time, once warrior and thieves get dethroned they’ll go flocking to the next fotm prof (as shown by necro)

Interesting theory.. but to be honest I think the underlying problem is noone plays Ranger seriously at ANet.

They dont really understand why we ask for certain things and why we dont use certain things.. They just have some vision of what rangers should be doing and stick with that, regardless of the reality of what playing a ranger actually involved.

Also theres a difference between admitting your class is OP and reporting a bug in the game, which we all know isnt meant to be there. Thats not unity thats just bug abusing.

I think the #1 thing that confirms Anet has no idea what they’re doing with ranger is the new heals were supposed to provide more variety to the game, yet ranger got a spirit, which only works super well (like all spirits) with points in NM, aaaaaaaaand no condi removal…. Because we all know rangers have sooooooooo much condi removal…

No, no we’re not all sheep. And in that we are in danger in this game at all times from those who don’t want to hear what we have been saying since Pre-Release.
.
Some of us have tried to help this game BE more honorable and many of us are Rangers.
.
Point in fact, I get an infraction every single time I say a thing about Ranger in any forum no matter what I am saying.
.
It’s not the Rangers who have an honor problem.

I think someone here is over reacting, ranger is very strong compared to most classes in WvW and sPvP, since some of the last ( few months ago ) thief nerf I’ve never loosed against them on my ranger or ele.

Most ranger I face are running a glassy LB build and this is the real problem, Anet only likes melee and they don’t even want to give ranged weapons enough power to be viable in solo/skirmishes ( LB and staff foremost )

As it is right now my only problems are :

1) Devs balance classes only on sPvP ( which imo is a mini game ) and PvE
2) Perplexity runes, enough said.
3) Pet mechanic, flawed and incomplete
