Guild Wars 2

Vox Hollow.2736:

Blood doesn’t have any burden of proof to describe why the DPS meta is a problem, because Anet flat-out said they were treating it that way. If you’ve got an issue with that concept, don’t shoot the messenger.

You assume, I believe incorrectly, that OP’s problem statement and Anet’s problem statement are aligned while there is still fresh debate about where the game should stand and while Anet’s problem statement remains quite vague.

OP said the game should stand at play how you want and therefore zerk meta is a problem. Anet said zerk meta is a problem. You have no idea where they might think the game should stand – perhaps they believe, as Nike does, that other DPS playstyles should have a better shot at being meta in the risk v reward paradigm.

Since there is ambiguity involved, burden of proof does rest with OP to defend his vision of the game, the problems, and the proposed solutions.

Pretty much what Nike said. You cannot accurately administer a solution if you cannot accurately diagnose the problem. You cannot accurately diagnose the problem if you cannot accurately articulate what “should be.”

Play how you want is not what should be meta.

The OP already diagnose the problem very concisely. And his proposed solutions are provided in a link. I don’t see what the problem is.

Right, there is no problem. OP makes a problem out of thin air.

This guy.

OP states the game premise is play how you want – the “should be.” You may agree, but I don’t. Nike provides a more accurate interpretation of the “should be” – a tradeoff of risk vs. reward in gearsets in which Rampager gets totally shafted.

This settles it. Nerf pvt/clerics into the ground. These elitists are clearly breaking mechanics in unintended ways based on unverifiable conjecture as to developer intent! Also, it’s ruining my immersion.

Spot on. Nice breakdown.
