[Potential Future Balance Changes]

imho, these changes will be a good start, mayhaps the skill lag will be affected in a positive way. Can these changes be rolled temporary over a weekend, to evaluate the impact and collect feedback?

What will positively change wvw and pvp is the following:

• no elite specs in wvw/pvp
• no expansion based armour stats in wvw/pvp
• no expansion based runes and sigils in wvw/pvp
• no mounts/gliding in wvwAs result balance will be easier to tune. I might have missed some points, feel free to add it.

[There's something fishy going on...]

Ladies and Gents, it is not about about the destination, but all about the journey. How you get there it's all that matters and the journey is being achieved with sparkling gem store outfits, on flashy mounts (gem store exclusive).

I don't believe GW2 will ever see a new expansion.

WvW rework or restructure (name it as you want), if it comes in the form of alliances only, it will not keep the wvw population engaged for long.Mounts are not fit for wvw , I agree, but skins will be available, in the gem store. The potential to milk some cash is there.

As for the pvp gap between seasons, I see it as the rest of the game: timegate wars 2, cooldown wars 2, collection wars 2. You would not want to get all the shiny too fast.What will you be doing next?

[Elitist Raiding Party 3 Trailer]

great work Teapot, it is breathtaking: ))) !!!! I wonder how can a handful of community players can make such quality trailers and a company, with (assuming) enough talent, fails to deliver?

[Lagging servers since at least last matchup (EU)]

can confirm, pretty much unplayable on reset yesterday. True, it has always been sever lag, but not as bad as now. I can only guess that the resources for the servers have been reduced. It is all about LS now, as it has been for quite a while.
