I Play WvW to have fun. I don’t find it fun anymore. Therefore I don’t play.

I originally thought it was to facilitate discussion about the class and provide feedback. However, it seems all feedback, be it critical, constructive or cynical at this point falls on deaf ears. At this point I am having a really hard time to be constructive or even hopeful towards the class forms.
The latest patch is an exact reflection of this pattern we keep seeing. Many people pointed out various problems and suggestions in constructive manner in this recent thread outlining many of the various issues and short coming that plague the ranger & druid class. The only thing that came of the whole thread is an enlargement fix and some after cast reductions.
While the enlargement fix is welcome, the rest of the changes leave me lost for word especially the pet changes. We asked for AI fixes so that pets could actually hit targets and move with the targets. Instead we were given slight cool down shaves and after cast reductions that wont matter, because the pet is still not capable of hitting the target in the first place.
Welp, I as much as I hate to say it, I have 0 faith in anets capacity to ever fix the many broken elements on this class (even more so after seeing the sad attempts to fix rev as well…). Dear anet please when you do finally decide to start listening to your base and make positive changes that players ask for, please do.. send me an email. For now I think it’s best to take a break.

I’m also quitting the game for now. While I can respect that they have a vision for how they want the game/classes to be, I no longer believe that the game will return to a state that I will personally enjoy.
This patch was a real let down for me.
+1 to the letdown crew.
I went from playing 5 hours each day to 1-2 hours a day post HoT when my condi ranger build became almost completely useless.
I haven’t played in 10 days just waiting for this balance patch to hit hoping that rangers would get a bit of love. Sorely disappointed.
I wont say I’m quitting, but I’m only really going to be on to play the story for a while.
Got another bit of the sPvP achievements to do but I really wont have any fun playing through that mess.
Hunter’s Call was both buffed in damage and acquired the added functionality of vulnerability. That’s something that was suggested in these forums multiple times.
Actually,
It’s a nice place to vent. That’s about it. If you come and vent here, you are less likely to actually stop playing the game lowering their future income. It’s technically genius, isn’t —-it?

it is proven by studies that a venting mechanism works half way and the secondary effects are worse if the problem is not solved.
Can I have ya’ll’s stuff who are leaving?

The subform(s) are to vent among other things like finding parties to shack up with, er, I mean to hunt with. Trade builds, and find the designated driver…

Can’t. It’s all account/soul bound.

Already gave it to my awesome guildies long time ago.
… You’re a few months late. /shrug
@TheFantasticGuy, @TragicPositive – all good I was teasing as I am sure you know. One good thing about these sort of game models with no monthly sub, makes perfectly good sense to walk away when you spend more time frustrated than having fun in a virtual world. Am I right?
Regardless, I live by the motto it is better to give than receive and you both put me in check with my snarky reply
