buffs like: spirits can MOVE again!
buffs like: we can throw traps again, since guard traps are anyways much better!

buffs like: offhand axe 5 => you can run when use this useless crap

i forget something?

just think about that when you decide to hard nerf druid, since that’s the only and last chance to heave a place in this broken meta with ranger.

not ranger heave BROKEN the meta.
that was your ugly other professions which you decided to overbuff.
like ele for example.

yeah, pets

There are no buffs, only pvp.

And pvp demands nerfs.

So they get them.

I think it goes like this:

• ANet does not care about classes at all. All they care about is the general state of the game as a whole.
• They add new skills/traits and observe the results
• They nerf things they don’t like
• They add new skills/traits and observe the results
• They nerf things they don’t like
• Etc

They don’t care to bring skills on par with other skills nor do they care to fix bugs. All they care about is the general state of the game.

On the other side, players only care about their class and every single skill in it. If there is a buggy skill, or a skill that doesn’t work, they can be confronted with it many times per hour for months or even years on end, because they interact with the game through them and it’s all they have to work with. All they can do is to stop using a skill/trait/weapon/class that doesn’t work.

So the player gets frustrated and ANet congratulates themselves that the general state of the game is good. They see no incentive to fix skills that aren’t even used. And since ANet has all the power, that’s just the way it’s going to be. It’s not until ANet starts collecting feedback that things can improve, but it’s completely up to them and they have had no interest in it.
