Arena Net vs Elementalists

Part of the problem with elementalists builds is that you need differnt Elementalist character slots to play in differnt situations. A Dungeon PvE elementalist cannot be sucessfull in sPvP or WvWvW. The same is mostly true in reverse.

Cantrips are required in sPvP or WvWvW. An Elementalist cannot specialise in signets, arcane, or glyphs and expect to live two seconds in any form of pvp. There are very disticnt balancing issues being ignored that are forcing players into similar builds to be sucessful. When the players do become sucessfull those builds become nerfed.

My message as an elementalist is to please make Signets, Arcane, or Glyph builds as feasable as Cantrip specialised builds because any PvP forces you into a Cantrip specialised build.

The event is very confusing

Wow, What a mess. I would much prefer a custom community event every 4-6 months instead of every month and have it be way more polished. I appreciate the effort but I do not like how cheesy, buggy, non-intuitive and un fun this event is. My issues:

-Player logs into game with email spam of 4 emails and after reading them is more confused about what to do than before. Condense event emails into one clear and consise email of where to go for a single event or npc that will start them off on a chain that explains things.

- LA dungeon instance is way buggy and un-fun. There are many issues with groups having to leave an instance because players are randomly booted to Lions Arch mid run and it is impossible to replace those members so it equates to time wasted. Fart on you Anet!

- The content of these LA Consortium instances is also annoying at best. Why do you feel you have to come up with lame puzzles all the time? There is a reason you put so many weapons and armor in this game and players want them. That reason is that fighting interesting cool looking bosses is fun. Puzzles are a fun break inbetween fights… but too many puzzles just equates to frustration.

- The player is immediately asked by the main LA event NPCs which of three options they would like to do to help? Why would I want to donate without knowing what I could get from the donations? You cannot find out what you can get until after you have event tokens or enter an instance. Boo!

- Many problems with event NPCs not able to be found or bugged. Boo!

Sorry Anet. Thanks for the effort but this feels rushed, bugged, improvised, and not fun. I would rather have less frequent but fun new community events and content than what you are providing.
