Guild Wars 2

I feel like your rebuttals are very opinion based. If they were more factual and less biased I could agree more. Just because it doesn’t benefit you directly doesn’t mean it’s not worthwhile to the pve players. They deserve a fair chance.

A very well thought out and in depth proposal. I would like to see some serious input on this instead of a bunch of kittens… “you cant!” “but, but but..”

If we can get this worked into a formal proposal (after some more input of course) I’d like to see what the devs have to say about possible implementation.

I’m sure this has been mentioned already, but I’m not reading 6 pages to find out lol. My thinking is this: the aoe cap was reduced because people complained that it was op. It was op… in the sense that you have to move around or die. People complain that Meteor Shower is op because multiple elementalists can cast them on the same area, but the thing is they cant make you stand in it. Most classes have some invuln or port to avoid it, but it would require players to pay attention to the field of battle and not tunnel vision in on one guy like they’re in SPvP. All this being said, I play 6 characters. Ele, Mes, War, Thief, Engi, and Necro. That’s not to say I’m awesome, or the best, just that I have a decent understanding of AoE mechanics in GW2. An ele casting meteor shower is vulnerable to range or thieves, a shatter mesmer is the same. I accept that Guild Wars 2 was made for casuals, but at the same time, that doesn’t mean that it should cater to the lowest common denominator… or the laziest denominator
