Why was the most Radical. . .
Because Arena net didnt want to reveal Healer until the last major marketing event.
They been hinting at Healers and Tanks being useful. Remember at launch they had a Anti- Healer/Tank view. Which since then has changed, so their marketing team decided to slowly reveal trinity roles.
also keep in mind, all of this is tested by inside testers. This beta is just for marketing and last min feedback. Inside testers arent even using same build as we are. So they are playing with numbers and changes that we currently dont have in this beta weekend.

Because it wasn’t ready, they totally redesigned it not long ago to not include the aspects part that was datamined. It just took too long to get it to a decent place and felt weird, so they went back to the drawing board. Well, makes sense to me.

You maybe correct here, but i really feel that this was the absolute worst decision, should have come out the first BWE so it could properly be tested.
Yet again, as in the past 3 years, Ranger is treated with the most incompetence.
The real reason is that this game is developed by Anet, and they can’t seem to do anything right. Balance is terrible, PvE is super easy, PvP is designed against solo players, and of course the classes with the most design changes are last to test.

Are these the same “inside testers” that released the Reaper and original Revenant forms that needed massive overhauls to be worthwhile?
Anyone who thinks these Beta tests are Just PR and not massively needed crowd sourced QA are fooling themselves and need only look at the now disabled Raid/Squads Beta.

Why was the most radical departure of elite specs “The Druid” saved for the last BWE and therefore given the least amount of testing time ?
Seriously, Druid is the absolute biggest change for any of the classes in this game, yet it is held back for the last BWE, giving the players who main Rangers jacksquat the ability to help define this spec. Revenant should have been held back till the last weekend, considering the gravity of the changes Rangers are now having to consider.
I just don’t follow the thinking behind this decision, yet again another slap in the face to all those who try to take the Ranger class seriously.
If A-net hates the Ranger so much (Just ask Roy) just remove it from the game so we can all move on. So tired of the neglect, so tired of the abuse (Roy), so tired of being a 3rd class citizen in this game, treated like crap in almost every aspect by the player base, and the developers.
This may come across as hyperbole, heck i can even admit it might be a bit, but let us all be honest here, 3 YEARS, and this is what we get.
its because they want to make sure we won’t retaliate and be like other Sheeps in this community to just accept all the beating. we are nobody to them and this last healer garbage is just another excuse to push us away and they know this will happen.

Where is this evidence of Anet testing anything in this game?

for the very simple reason that they f’d up there original plan along the way and had to quickly put something else together – thats why the druid didnt release in the normal order of things…at least i assume so, also looking at the rather subpar animations

its a real shame, aspects sounded really cool and thematically fitting….astral form is thematically and lookwise very underwhelming
Somebody has to be last. As much as I’d like to think that there was some conspiracy going around about the devs smoking cigars and cackling around a dark table over how much they hate ranger, this simple fact cannot be ignored. Somebody has got to be last.
I don’t have opinions. I only have facts I can’t adequately prove.

Thye beta we play isnt the same build inhouse testers use. So all things we got in second beta, they already had played.

I dont feel like searching for those Red post from Guardian forum, which had beta changes that were delayed because they made adjustments, so Guardians had to wait till BWE3 for some of the changes.
