This balance team… good lawdy. What other genius ideas will they think of next?
The reason (speculating of course) you won’t see it is because it goes against their vision of pvp.
I don’t see how it would improve the game but I don’t see it hurting it to an extent. As of today, we have many posts about nerfing x,y,z class – can you imagine the garbage posts we’ll get when you introduce a 2v2 or 3v3 game mode?
I’d much rather they improve upon the current 5v5 game mode than introducing 2v2/3v3.
Honestly if it were named differently, we’d have a completely different reaction on the forums right now.
People want cool catchy names like Death Knight, Paladin – the quintessential name of a warrior but we are given the name of Dragonhunter.
A names means nothing. It’s what you do that makes the name.
I don’t think Anet allows people to skip new content just by using proofs to unlock the new elites.
Except they did with HoT.
No they did not, proofs got added way later into the expansion. And even then you could not buy those level thingies.
You can use proofs to unlock the new elites as they grant hero points.
Edit: And to add, proofs have been in since HoT.

It’s not so much that I hate turret engineers, it’s I hate the attitude that players have with it. I’ve never seen so much crap talk from them when they kill people. Every class has it, sure, but I see it more from turret engineers.
I’d really love to know why Guardians/DH get no love at all.
The worst part is the silence from this phantom balance team.
