These two classes are what really repels anyone who wants to play pvp away from spvp.
If you ask people in the pve/wvw portion of this game, the number one reason people do not like spvp are bunkers along with the conquest game mode.
I did say something contructive, but i guess you can’t handle a different opinion. Necro’s are very good in sPvP imo (if they are played well), and someone who makes tier lists doesn’t understand the core of gw2 pvp game, all classes are balanced and very viable if handled by good players. So either you are a casual (casuals do come in the mists, ‘sir’) or you learn very slow.
A tier list isn’t really supposed to indicate the actual true strength of any class or build relative to others but rather just be a sort of ranking taking into account the frequency of them within teams in organised play and their general performance overall.
I solo que a lot of frees and usually get 3/5 first timers on my team about 60% of the time but even then 3 tourney wins in a month isn’t dreadful at all.
It only requires an average of 1 win every ~10 or so days which is nothing and really the reward for the monthly isn’t that good for anyone that isn’t looking to play paids.
Was there a reason for using healing surge at full adrenaline/hp ?

Making a tier list based on classes is plain stupid without considering builds. The strength of a class changes immensely depending on what type of build it is running. For example, ele is only top tier due to 0-10-0-30-30 w/ toughness amulet, mistform + variations of it.
A proper tier list would be something like this (my opinion):
Tier 1 +/- variations:
0-10-0-30-30 d/d, s/d Ele
0-30-30-5-5 trap Ranger
Any guardian that isn’t running something like glass cannon condition dmg
20-20-0-0-30 Shatter mesmer or phantasm mesmer w/ portal, illu of life, time warp
Tier 2 +/- variations:
Every other mesmer (i.e bunker)
0-10-0-30-30 staff ele
25-30-0-0-15 Burst Thief
30-30-10-0-0 Staff+S/d well or condition Necro w/ res signet
30-10-0-30-0 HGH Engi / Bomb Kit Engi
Tier 3 +/- variations:
Bunker Ranger or SB ranger w/ 2 signets + stunbreak
20-30-0-0-20 100b Warrior
30-30-10-0-0 Staff+s/d well or condition necro w/o res signet
0-30-20-0-20 terror necro
100nades Engi / bunker engi
Attrition thief
Tier 4:
Everything else
I think i’ve gotten most of what I usually see

Sorry, but you run out of tickets if you run paids all day.
Only if you consistently lose which should not be a problem due to match making being in place.
With paid tourneys costing only 1 ticket per person and having almost zero que time there should be no reason to allow pre made guild/party groups of 4/5 people to enter free tourneys.
Free tourneys should be where people who are beginning to learn conquest mode and people relatively new to spvp play in order to get an idea of what to do since hot join doesn’t really teach much.
Putting new players who are trying out pvp against pre made groups all running the typical cheese stuff like bunker guardian, shatter mesmer, 0-10-0-30-30 ele, etc is detrimental to the game.
When you have 3 longbow hunters fighting a bunker guard at mid for 5min+ only to instantly get burst down by a mesmer/theif, they aren’t going to be having fun and most likely will never set foot in pvp again.
