Anet is actively going back on there own ideals and planes fully knowing what will happen as they have the info of what it was like before.

Even the buff dont go anywhere for the ele class see transmutation. Always being positivist about bad things often become a copping tool and not real forward thinking.

You have no idea of what my "point of view" is or isn't. Even better trying to sit on me by giving some kind of life lesson in "forward thinking"? I really hope it's just a misinterpretation of my post, and sorry if that's my fault. I had a feeling that the trait will get reworked further down the line. Then I added what I wanted of that rework, something that sadly was a positive change. All meant to further discuss the trait with other ele players. Didn't expect this to happen though... But by all means. Keep up the negativity. I'm out.

> Well the point is every one is saying this point of view over and over on these forms at one point transmutation was going to be the golden time for the ele class and it all turned out to just be one trait and nothing more. Anet has no big plane for any thing and coming from the point of view that they do means you will always be "ok" with any thing they do and nerf to the ele class. It means your an endless collaborator for any thing anet chose to do. This is what is know as toxic positivity.

Ok, so you're basing this on assumptions then? I've never said I'm fine about the balance or all anet does. Where're you getting that from? And don't flame me for what others on the forum are saying. Toxic positivity is a state were too optimistic views threatens to cloud the reality. Where too big of a positive spirit are at risk of tipping over, to a point where it would cause more harm than good. How you're connecting what I wrote with that is beyond me. You're jumping to so many conclusions, twisting this, just to prove a point. You say that "Anet has no big plane for any thing and coming from the point of view that they do means you will always be "ok" with any thing they do and nerf to the ele class. It means your an endless collaborator for any thing anet chose to do." I can't argue about what Anet's plans are or aren't, I haven't talked to them about their plans. And I'd like to get my facts straight before I draw conclusions. But if I were to think that they did have plans, which I hope they do, that doesn't automatically mean I were to "always be ok with anything they did". It doesn't add up, and opinions can change.
Funnily enough though, I actually agree with you for the most part. It's sad to see such a fun class with so much potential, be cast in shade. However. I'm a consumer of this game, and you're trying to fit your Toxic Positivity claim in a context where I'm clearly absent. I don't take stuff like game balance personal. For me, it's either good or bad, fun or boring, interesting or dull. A pretty objective point of view. In this specific case I felt an "interesting"-tingle, and wanted to further talk about it with other ele players to get a sense of your views. But to my remorse...
So. To spare you further assumptions about my point of view, here it is: It's a game. I'm gonna play it for as long as I find it fun. And when I don't, I'll stop. Guild Wars 2 is a great game in my view, but it's just that, a game. I don't take it that seriously, as I feel you do. I mean, clearly. Firing on all cylinders there by talking of "forward thinking" and "endless collaboration". What I do get worked up about though, is when someone's stating false claims about me, twisting the facts to fit their own thesis.
