Ah ye i suppose there's hundreds of thousands of potential stakeholders/customers - cant please everyone all of the time! :)

I hope you people at Anet know all that "work" you did collecting "feedback" might as well not have happened if you keep having shit patches like the one today. It's like rearranging the chairs on the Titanic while it's sinking.

 

Inb4 comment is removed and I get forum fucked because I mentioned topic that must not be named. Good luck selling PoF more though, it's not like everyone sees through the P2W balance patches after every expansion. Wonder if it will work the third time.

Thank you for this week of discussions. While I'm definitely late to the party, I will urge my viewers and followers to check those threads out. I personally appreciate the effort your team has put into community feedback. Hopefully more people will participate in constructive ways.

Just be sure to add a disclaimer that says change might be made

The only reason you're doing any PvP discussion is because you know that it's on its lifeline, especially in NA with such a ridiculously low population. You should've done this discussion post PoF beta, not after everyone who doesn't play scourge/firebrand quit.

Things we think that are both possible and good for the game will go on the backlog and we’ll see where they fit in priority with the things we already have planned. We won’t be able to get to all of this stuff overnight or even over the next few months. But we’ll do our best to keep you guys informed of our current priorities and I think a lot of the stuff we’ve talked about over the past few days will make it.

So once again, 1 shotting opponents isn't a priority? Where is 1 shotting ever good for the health of a game?

Once again; Anet Favorite classes; Mesmer+Thief are rewarded with more toxic buffs while Necromancer-the Scapegoat class conditions gets nerfed?

 

Anyhow, i'm not here to argue but to remind myself including others that;

 

It's unfair to us to keep trying to fight against toxicity in the game. So... once again; lessons and history are repeating themselves over and over again; Accept It For What It Is, & Move Forward.

 

In the end; ' **we chose what holds us back and what moves us forward** '

 

In the end, ' **we chose to either accept the truth or continue be blinded by the dark** '

If you think conditions aren't a problem; you're part of the problem.

You've effectively chosen the latter. There is so much data about the skewing of profession selection in pvp and you're essentially ignoring it.

Serious question here:

Do most anet developers main mesmers? After reading the patch notes I am forced to conclude they do, but I could be wrong.
