I wish to report I am bitter and angry. EoD has been a disappointment for me. When the new Elite Specializations were introduced, I had assumed that they would better (but not superlatively so) than the regular Elites were. Instead, and I wait for someone to prove to me that it is not so, I found that the other Elites were nerfed so that the new Elites would be so much better. That would have disappointed me; but what next came to pass was the monsters in the rest of GW2 were not nerfed nor were they left alone. Instead they were buffed. I play a Revenant with heavy armor (of course) and was playing Dragon Stand (farming for the rest of my hero points to complete the Vindicator my Revenant was working for) and every time one of those snipers shot me I folded like a cheap suit (I was using a Renegade build at the time!) About eighteen or nineteen times, even after I got my armor set up with Runes of Durability. Now this wasn't every time, after I installed my runes, but it happened often enough that I started to get a little bitter about the whole thing. I have done more to stay alive with my Necro who is a fully ready Harbinger with everything except except some trinkets he needs Ascended. The poor performance of my Renegade has convinced me that I should not, under any circumstances play it again. Everyone expects bugs in a set of programs as complex as this one;, but these were not bugs-they were features! Plus there is virtually no one at the regular metas, as everyone is in Cantha. I still don't have my Skyscale, and groups don't usually have Commander's or Mentor's tags for Dragonfall (usually because they don't need to, as most everyone else has a Skyscale!)
All this put together adds up to me giving some serious thought to going to a different game, as most of the guildies in my guild have already done!
