Guild Wars 2

I can understand the fact that mmos evolve over time. But this kind of thing happens more often than not. We sign up to play a certain game with a company that says “we are gonna do it like this” and shortly after launch you find out actually no they are not at all going to do it that way. Areananet is a smaller less offensive example but you could say bait and switch it is an appropriate term.

I dont think I have seen a 185 page thread on anything in these forums ever and the pitchfork ragefest in that other threadnaught was to be expected. I guarantee you some people at Anet cringed and facepalmed when the decision was made.

There is nothing wrong with the current non trinity system. It emphasizes individual player skill over standing in the fire being held up by a main healer. I can understand why a lot of people seem to be having trouble with this concept.

The WVW part I partially agree with, they need to keep observing the meta and keep an eye on exploits and fix the rendering issue. Otherwise I pretty much disagree with everything else mentioned in your post.

You want raiding, holy trinity and no downed state … yeh this game was so not made for you.

What discredits the whole thing and is mentioned in the op is the widespread

“this entire class and all its possible builds are OP because its played by many people”

Because thats what your basically saying. Never mind that there will ALWAYS be a most played class and their will ALWAYS be a FOTM class until this game goes offline. Within a class their will ALWAYS be a FOTM build.

Start thinking about how many mesmers or guardians you were killed by and how they killed you and how you could have gotten out of it. If you come back and tell me there’s no way you can live against these guys then I agree with you ANET should look at it. However we’re a month in and already people are ready to gut entire classes because they happen to be popular or because its good ol bandwagon nerf posting time.

Rift tried to do that do that, let players form limited 2-3 person groups, this got the premades foot in the door and they sync queued multiple 3 man groups at the same time and got full pre-mades in regularly and begun the pug stomping. As such It must be completely separated from the PUGs.

You queue for pre-made and you go against other pre-made. No partial groups no one or two guys, you queue with friends and you don’t get put against a pug simple as that. It can be done but with total separation from PUGs.

You mean certain classes are popular just because people like them and not because they’re OP? this surely couldn’t be.

If Arenanet’s data backs you up I am sure there will be some changes until then its just your opinion, and you have not factored in your ability to not suck terribly at PVP no matter what class yo play. Nor have you supported anything you have said with any kind of verifiable evidence.

Anet is making the big picture choice and the right choice in my opinion. You want to play with your friends then do open world rvr. The “so i cant play with my friends argument” is the one Rift listened to and smaller groups of organized guilds are still in there stomping pugs as I type this post. Pre-made vs pug should not happen under any circumstance limited or unlimited. Anet is smarter than Trion and they made the right call.

None of you have provided any kind of verifiable evidence to anything you have said. For or against, No videos, no screen shots nothing.

Just a “trust me dude” I know what I am talking about ie self proclaimed experts. Thread is just marginal whining from obvious bads which have been trying the same tactic for years. (agenda based nerf qq) I for one do not take your word for it and until you provide some actual evidence this whole thread is pointless and should be locked up tight.

such a bad idea to open official forums. No doubt they are regretting this decision.
