Guild Wars 2

I cannot even begin the describe the disappointment I am feeling right now from the developing team. You have just completely abandoned a certain group of the community, probably one of your most loyal group of community players that are still playing the game keep certain farming zones active. I came from games like lineage 2 (played from C2 to C4) and wow where pve was rather much more hardcore than this and I finally got tired of it so I settled with this game because I enjoy the casual experience. I was never interested in the story of this game nor much the pve content, because lets be honest this game when compared to others in that category isn’t top notch but what this game has appealed to me in many ways is how laid back it is and yet you can still achieve your goal and get your legendary weapon skins at your own pace.

To some of us out there when there was a lack of content we did not mind very much, we did not abandon the game like many others, we still come online a few times a week and play the game go to farming zones make investments and trades on tp to build up our bank and gold count. I don’t raid don’t wvw much occasionally do the fractal dailies and some world bosses just mainly go to farming zones like SW and a few HOT maps patiently waiting for the arrival of the new set of legendaries to craft. But with this announcement I suppose players like me no longer have any reason what so ever to continue playing your game. The community may think that players like me are a minority in the community. That may be true to some extend but trust me the numbers are much larger then your think, you see all these guys that are there actively farming the SW maps, running chest trains farming DS I can tell you a large portion of them are like me, if they really cared much about the pve story and content they wouldn’t be constantly doing repetitive farming over and over again they probably would have left the game for months until the announcement of the new living story and then come back and not to mention players like me probably hold the largest account wealth in the game (that info came from gw2efficiency.com it compared your account total wealth to others).

Anyways I suppose I should at least thank you for letting me know now (sooner is always better than later). I suppose there is finally my reason to end this ride, the experience was fun Cheers.

This concept of a dedicated healer is too flawed. It will require a lot of tweaks to even make this idea remotely come close to working.

If dedicated healer is mandatory in raids, then having 1/9 classes have the ability to heal means 9 guys sitting in lfg twiddling their thumbs waiting for 30-60 minutes for that one druid player to join the party while opening their google chrome in the background and come on the forums to complain about no one wanting to play heals. (WoW a game with 5/11 classes have a dedicated healing spec and they are still short on healers in terms of queue times in pugs)

So eventually the game devs will cave in and make it so raids does not require such a powerful healer. Then what place is there left with rangers? A class that is already lacking in pve dps got absolutely nothing out of their bottlenecked specialization.

If such heals are not mandatory in the new raid content, then once again honestly ask yourself this question where does rangers fit in? because druid sure didn’t provide them with much damage buff. What reason do you have to bring to one to raids?
