Dungeon rewards, the cash part, is what they’re changing. Every time someone does an explorable mode dungeon 1 gold 24 silver is created out of thin air.

That’s bad for the economy.

How’s that bad for the economy?

Because it injects “new” gold into the economy. If it’s not drained away fast enough more gold in the economy leads to classic inflation. So it’s important to keep the total amount of gold within the game, including the gold tied up in the exchange, growing slowly if at all.

And how is buying Gems and then doing currency exchange less of an impact than running a dungeon?

What’s wrong with gaining money in dungeons? Isn’t that what dungeons are used for in 99% of the MMO’s?

Because when you earn Gold on your own, ArenaNet doesn’t make as much money from Gems.

And then there’s the Tempest…

Just watched one outperform a Druid and deliver decent DPS.

Lol you lost all credit there. If you believe a Guardian can dish out as much healing as a single Druid…… yeah I wont argue with you on this much. Clearly you have not played healer in SPvP yet with Druid….. go back to your Power Ranger Druid dude…..

It’s obvious from all your posts that you’re a healing fanboy. I’m sure you did great in other MMOs with healing, but GW2 has never been about the heals. There’s other ways to keep people up rather than just healing through it all, which you will not be able to do. GW2 players have been doing it this entire time.

Learn the other classes.

i know thats how I played it. I prefer not to play DPS meta. I like team defense and protection.

Then you’re not “lonewolf” like what he was talking about, thus not countering anything he said.

The healing is great in PvP, if people would actually stick to working together rather than it always being a every man for themselves mentality going around.

It doesn’t do anything in sPvP that a Guardian can’t do. Except a Guardian doesn’t sacrifice his DPS.

In terms of WvW, the limit of only healing 5 players per skill does nothing to counter AoE bombs. And, again, no DPS.

And as a whole, the crappy range of the Glyphs, as well as no stability or stun breaks, makes them garbage.

I’ve been experimenting with Power Ranger build with the Druid trait still selected and using Troll Ungent. Seeing as how Healing Power stat doesn’t do squat for Druid healing, there’s not much of a reason to run gear that bumps it up. This build actually doesn’t do too bad and you can still get into AF if things start to go south.

On the whole, the Druid doesn’t bring anything to the table that others can’t do and even do better.

Just did some WvW as a Druid.

Definite issue with the fact that you can only heal a max of 5 people. It’s futile when the damage/condi AoE’s are slapping everyone and their mother.

Sacrificing the Ranger’s DPS (hah) for heals that aren’t really that great blocks the Druid from being viable in WvW. And Celestial Form seems too quick, but that just may be because I’m not used to it yet.

I have not used Druid in sPvP yet. That may very well be a different story…
