Guild Wars 2

… threads complaining about the basic mechanics of a specific class.

I love reading most of the threads (including troll threads) because they are very interesting, but it is really annoying to read every day that someone can’t play the “terminator” in this game because the other classes have traits, skills, mechanics they don’t like.

Anet created this game and not the community changes this game – anet does it. Anet only collect feedback – that’s all.

… I will avoid the mentioned threads… nice to “read you” ^^ I will only read coming patch notes.

I suggest you just avoid the troll threads that don’t need to be read. That’s what i do at least, its better to ignore a troll than give it attention. ^^

Stealth is a flawed concept.
Of course there will be complaints.

Even the small stealth on rangers and engineers is annoying.

Those are not troll threads. Those are legitimate complaints about a mechanic that destroys the fun of the game.

stealth isn’t flawed concept…. in fact it is only feature in any game that actually requires you to use brain instead of just random button mash and reliance on armor+ facetank

Well except for the user, he gets to be just as braindead but invisible too.
For some real brain activity, pick up a staff ele, note the lack of stealth, note the lack of any form of button mashing, armor, or facetanking, and then note that you die every time you stop pretending you’re playing chess.

You must die a lot on your thief. The class is all about strategizing and determining your opponent’s next move – just like chess.

Or just stealthing as much as you can and using backstab/heartseeker because it’s pretty darn effective at fulfilling the thief role, which is to pick off anyone who has the nerve to be squishy or low on health, or zipping around the map backcapping as much as you can.
Not to say that there aren’t good thieves out there, but you really don’t have to be all that great to do the above effectively. Being in stealth does not particularly force you to think, which is what I disagreed with, coming from a staff ele perspective where I understand how horribly screwed I am if a thief notices my existence, regardless of whether they can actually play or not.
The same goes with the thief I’m messing around with now (keep in mind it’s not a viable or even particularly interesting spec at all), although it really is much easier to survive even with just that little bit of extra armor because of all the ports and evades/interrupts. It really is stealth that makes the difference, though, seeing as how it makes everything many times more simple.

Behold how this thread has also become infected

Came just for LOL!

Oh dear, I corrupted it.
I’m sorry, please forgive me /cries
