I’m not sure what the big deal is about the “pirate ship” meta. So many people whining about it and I honestly have no idea why. Adjust your builds, adapt your play style. Whatever. Guards and warriors are still relevant to this meta. You just can’t play them exactly as you had been for ages. No idea why anyone thinks that’s a bad thing.
From my perspective, the stab changes were too extreme. There was no reason to change the hammer train meta as much as was done. Sure it could have been toned down a little bit, but most players/groups really weren’t able to pull it off all that effectively. Now the deck is strongly tipped to ranged classes, oh certainly guards and warriors are still viable but their role got a major nerf not matter how much you dodge.
People who suggest that we have a more balanced gameplay in WvW must really like playing ranged, ganking, and sniping. For me personally, I am not a big fan of the changes and my main is a necro these days, changed from warrior/guard long before the stab changes. Which I might add, was another lovely benefit from the “adopt a dev” program, pure genius.
I would like to point out to Coglin and dancingmonkey that if you reread the original post, it’s about the fact that Anet is making a lot of money off of this situation and should we as players support it. Both of you have taken this thread well off the original intent, which you both appear to enjoy doing regularly in these forums, which is a violation of the code of conduct. Many many WvW players are paying for these transfers, some willing, some gudgingly…
Server population is meaningless for PvP but obviously that population is the most significant determinant of server population, not WvW participation. At the very least, Anet could reduce the cost of transfers to lower tier servers, but it seems to me they should drop the cost across the board until they do something to address the fact that they are essentially exploiting WvW players for profit.
