Guild Wars 2

Spirits are among those things that are just not well designed. Banners are of the same category. That stuff is either crap or overpowered, but either way: you just cast them once in a while and then you’re done with it.

I thought Arenanet had enough experience to recognize that. It’s all been there in Gw1..
Fire & forget-skills and passive skills were quite a problem back then. The list begins with Aegis, Wards and Passive-Protmonks and ends with numerous Paragon shouts. Not to forget Spirit-Ritualists. Anet corrected most of that stuff after quite some time, but they corrected it! And now they forgot everything they’ve learned?

In my opinion, Anet should greatly reduce the spirits recharge, their cast time and duration, nerf their passive effects and significantly improve/change the active effects. Same with the banners.

Hi,
I’m glad that the leaderboards are there now, although i find its a pity that there are only 100 players listed at the moment. Still: thank you dear devs, this has been really important!
It would also be nice to be able to see the list as a whole, so that one could find a player quickly via CTRL+F instead of clicking through pages of 25 accounts (especially when more of the ladder is revealed)

But here is my question:
do the devs plan on resetting the ladder every now and then? If not, are inactive accounts going to be filtered from it, similar to how it was done in GW1?

thanks in advance
