Given the chrono changes should I just stop playing mesmer? It seems each patch they say that mesmer is doing too well/too bad and they intend to fix it by breaking it more. Shatter is doing damage, let's remove it...Distortion is a mesmer mechanic (I believe the only mesmer only mechanic since everyones is a mesmer now with quickness and alacrity being baked into others) and they take it from chrono. First the things that defined the profession (control of time, illusions, confusion, being an overall good support focused on tying up rotations) is being slowly taken away by others, I'm looking at you alacren and quickbrand... I love the profession and was most of the reason I started to play GW2, no other MMORPG has a concept like that, and by each patch it becomes less and less viable to play in other gamemodes by chain nerfs patch after patch, being "replaceable" by other classes that are better at what a mesmer should be the best at...I can't understand the reasoning behind all this. I know this sounds like whining and just being a nuissance, but TBH, there's no fun in joining a group for daily fractals and people asking if you can change for an alacren or quickbrand so the clear goes faster (this on T2...). I understand the mindset of doing quick clears, but the state of the profession is starting to make me not want to play with other people anymore.

Hello everyone, rookie developer here After been using sites like GW2BLTC and GW2TP for almost a year, I happened to notice that I don't see stock market like visualizations on those tools. So I went around and started to explore the API myself to see if that was possible. That said, I was happy to see that most of the data I would need comes from the /commerce/ endpoint, and this kind of visualization can be done in a multitude of libraries. So here come the challenge: as far as I am aware, I would need to keep track of daily prices of items (buy and sell), with a relative small interval between collection, for each of the desired items, which would be expensive in requests (possible banning my ip address due to DoS suspicion), and in data storage (not all items change price in minutes notice). If possible, I would look for advice in how to deal with these two topics(like a good ratio to make those requests or a good way to store it). I intended to use python as backend for data collection and preprocessing, and javascript for visualization, so if there's some smart way to deal with the requests problem easily please let me know. Also, this may be a stupid idea, so I am open to critique. I was thinking of using firebase as my data storage, but I think I would explode the free quota really soon. My goals with this are #1 Be able to provide the community with some other tool to help with TP investments, and #2 be able to collect some good amount of GW2 economy data for future analysis. Thanks in advance with any help or advice, and best regards.
