I don’t know about the reason, but Robert Hrouda left ArenaNet:
http://forum-en.guildwars2.com/forum/game/gw2/Robert-Hrouda-has-left-Arenanet/page/3#post2727739

So, unfortunately we won’t be seeing him back on the Ranger forum and we lost the (only?) Ranger dev.

Not sure how to feel about this. We never got what we needed while he was around in it’s entirety, just fractions of it and small paint-over-the-cracks fixes. The question now is whether or not they’ll put someone remotely competent in his stead and where that will take us from here.

Well, considering he wasn’t working on bug fixes or class balance but was a dungeon designer i kinda doubt there will be anyone :P

I never really cared for his input anyhow. He seemed overly optimistic and also seemed to lack knowledge of the depths of the capabilities of the class.

He was a great guy though, and speaking rl for a moment, hopefully the transition ends up being a positive one.

I am pretty certain THAT was the guy who fixed CULLING In that case; BIG mistake ANet. I am ALSO pretty certain he gor fired because of constantly insisting on class balances to fit wvw instead of the kitten smallscale PvP. Last one, you can take as inside information. Point is, he wanted classes to work. And was fired for it.

What kind of dumb company would fire a person (that was with them for quite some time too) for wanting balanced classes?

When the majority of the developers, including lead developers, say classes are fine, and one or two people keep nagging about it on meetings, then eventually action was taken, as you see.

umh no, I linked to that exact same thread in my starting post. “You must’ve missed it”

Not everyone reads every sub-forum, so I decided to link to it in the Ranger forum, considering he used to post here and played Ranger himself.

Probably the kind that would take years to learn that skills should be separated between game types and then choose not to split them from the get-go in the sequel.

No wonder, ranger is left in the dark. Kuddos to the Ranger Hero: Robert Hrouda! We will miss you!!!! You were the only one caring for us, without going further into details to prevent infraction. I can only say that everyone (If and i Emphasize if, so this is not infraction justified), that pushed Hrouda away from Gw2, dissapointed me incredible much.

Ps @ people saying his answer were bad: lol. The other devs don’t answer, cause they know we would rage all over their weak reasons why ranger is no priority in their book. They are just smart enough to not say it out loud.

Well I’m personally waiting to see what the big announcements are (the WvW one and the other one) as well as the coming skill updates.

Those are the only things that might keep me playing. As it is now I’m just too disgusted with ANet to even log in. They’ve forsaken their own goals as well as the people that loved them.

Just came back to look for a new ranger build as I have not played the ranger in a long time. I have to say good, he may have posted although he did not do what was needed for the class.
