Guild Wars 2

Here’s a better thought; who cares?
We’re all online playing a video game. If someone gets mad at you, good, laugh at them.

If you’re getting offended on GW2 forums then you need to get up and get some perspective. Hell, even the opinions of people “IRL” shouldn’t mean that much to you, much less some random on the internet.

ITT, people who probably don’t even main thieves ask for them to be made a carbon copy of WoW.
No thanks. How about try and learn how to deal with a different take on a stealth based class? Thieves at the moment are certainly not far and above the best class for pvp. Others have mentioned, and it’s easy to see ingame that there are many ways to deal with stealth (more are on the way too).

The fact that people would openly advocate revamping thieves to better suit some cliche stereotype is kinda disturbing to me. Please don’t listen to them Anet, continue to practice your creativity in class archetypes.
And you players need to continue practicing, period. Just cause something is different, doesn’t make it OP. Learn to adapt. Not just for your sake, but for the sake of variety in video games.
