Yeah, but this thread is a famous GW2 meme. It is appropriate. Almost like this quote "Rev is a class that's favored more by the best players, and the best players tend to win" - Ben or CMC, lol no one else even talks to us

Rules to do k in ranked: 1. Learn when your top 10 are active, you will notice that this applies to all the way down to top 100ish+-. 2. Don't play during those times. 3. When you do play, be "invisible" setting on the contact. (fake offline) 4. Get a Duo partner, make sure they follow rule 1-3 as well. 5. Play meta builds, don't experiment in ranked...wtf...lol 6. Don't be afk, if you q, sit at the computer, don't start "other activities"....2-3 minutes is nothing....ask your girl 7. Look at the professions and specializtionts your are facing, but dont worry if you are facing a "pro". (if your teamies are throwing, call it in map chat and report) 8. If you are NA, no need to be intimidated ever, all is trash, if your are EU, respect your masters but try your hardest.

I think the problem with thief right now probably is a lower population in general. Perhaps there is a larger picture, and part of that picture has the thief prominently in it. My 3 IQ theory is this: The higher skill a player is, the more they will understand the value of thief, and perform their own roles respectively. (Good) The lower skill a player is, the less they will understand the value of a thief, and they may try to perform intermixed roles competitively. (Bad) It was said often that every winning MAT team had a thief, but you couldn't really say that about seasonal conquest when thief was just "good" and not "broken". Probably, today thief is good, but not broken. (some players believe thief is fundamentally broken, so my argument is never with them) So, the hidden problem is: a low population. The commingling of rating tiers will make the performance of a thief seem like a role of dice. This commingling is due to low population.

Were they? Burn DH is just over-performing for the general population. I have not really seen a connection between MATs and seasonal conquest in terms of problematic metas because the majority of players who do seasons do not perform at the winner's level at MATs, and consequently do not tend to use the same strats (nor coordination). I reckon that there are actually 2 metas, the seasonal conquest general player without coordination, and the MAT coordinated team metas. For the solo, perhaps DUO player, DH is quite effective. Guardian is pretty versatile, and if traps are too much, their role can change easily. Using the MATs for determining the outcome for a seasonal meta is like comparing strategies of the NBA to a pickup basketball game at the local gym.

They should make it in that trait so every time you steal a boon (as a thief) you share it with allies (360 r). This might make some headway into the "support thief" everyone is asking for. Rename it too, but to what?

Please, who ever else has the build, do not share it lol

WvW got me bored to death 4 years ago and PvE is only bearable for 30-60 min or so, so without PvP I'd rather play another game. It's a typo. You made one in this comment too, and some grammatical errors. So relax. We can pretend option 2 is where pvers farm the ez mode legendary armor.

The need to rework traitlines that support the thief to also affect allies or IT WILL NOT WORK. Thief is a selfish class by design, they have a few shareables, but they ain't feeding the party. Up to this point, nothing remotely resembles a support, and the shadow medics you see are absolutely pathetic. Being screen clutter in wvw blob does not count as "successful".

> @"Huskyboy.1053" said: > I don't know if there are all that many bots, a lot of them are just PvE players. I always ask people if they are a bot before I report them no matter how bad they're playing, and I almost always get a sarcastic or sincere response. So frankly I think the issue might be more that PvP is pulling in a boatload of really bad players who are only there for the rewards. The nice thing would be for Anet to nerf rewards for people who lose. dude, there is actually someone who has numbered their bot accounts. there are a ton, an imaginary electron ton, of bots....perhaps if we could weigh all the electrons it takes to generate the pixels necessary to render the bots in the game, it would actually be a ton. how much is a ton? (us ton) 2000lbs How much does an electron weigh? Electron is 9.05 x 10-28 grams How many electrons in 1 ton? The answer is 9.9587956680267E+32 While that is a bit of an overestimation of how many bots there are in the game, it is not that far off of a figure. /s for the goobs about to try and math me

> @"Axl.8924" said: > aw man removing runes and amulets, and dumbing down the game please guys stop Keep the rune, remove the stealth. The class that makes the most use of it should not have stealth

the rating range between team mates is not strict enough blame mom and population
