[Rework LFG tool]

That’s just nonsense. Never did any boosting and still don’t see the need to rework the LFG tool. I never had any problems finding a group with the current system and I think it’s pretty accessible. 

Why else would you be against improving something?

[Rework LFG tool]

The reason there are people so against the LFG tool being reworked is because they benefit from it via their boosting services and do not want it to be more accessible to clear the content on their own.

You like your outdated LFG tool?

[Staff needs more support in its kit.]

Staff is working as intended as a power weapon.

Dagger / Warhorn would be a nice support set instead of...whatever the weapons currently are.

Power creep. If condy is overstepping the mark then nerf it, don't aggregate the problem by inflating dmg in other areas.  if Weaver power is competitive then there is no issue.

How does making a spec do 40k like every other spec cause power creep when power does 43.5k?

Power and condi play nowhere the same.

I agree

Do you have some personal vendetta against Condi Sword?

That situation is also about to get worse as warhorn is better power weapon than it is a condi weapon

They could remedy this by making core ele weapons not awful.

I think taking a starting point of completely ignoring the work they did re-releasing LWS1 is very unreasonable. You might not be interested in the content but others are as some in this thread have said. And it’s an important improvement for new players which is where a lot of the money to pay for new content presumably comes from.

LS1 was a massive waste of resources and put the game into a 1 year content drought twice. It's a baffling decision to re-release it.

New players can't even do it because no is doing the metas. It's a failure, that they allowed to happen twice. This is why we learn history in school - to learn from our mistakes.

Ignoring all the other boons provided. Also saying that Alac or quickness is the only reason for supports to exist. 

The other boons do not matter, because the other good alac/quickness builds brings all of them on top of alac/quickness.

Druid was a dead class since early PoF.

If a support does not bring alac/quickness they are a useless character..

Everyone I played with liked LS 1 and there were tons of complaints when it was cancelled in favor of LS 2. 

 SW is still being done daily to this day.

NO ONE does a single ls1-remake meta.

You are an extreme minority.

alacheal scourge will be just fine

Barriers are not healing, it does 0 HPS.

This is not a healer. It's a bad healer and bad DPS that gives alac.

scourge is was not an exception to that rule since it brought busted revive potential that should have never been in the game.

Sure but now scourge is an awful dps alac or awful heal ala spec. A unique spec was better.

We need LESS races. Cosmetic skins come come out a snails pace because they need to make them work on Charr and Asura despite the fact 95% of players are humans and will only buy the skin for their human female anyways.

[Did you forget about Condi Sword Weaver?]

You power crept every other DPS spec to EOD specs 40k but seemed to have forgotten this spec. Can you buff it's numbers please? Condi scepter feels terrible and using a non-sword weapon on weaver is silly. This spec was perfectly fine all of PoF and deserves to be a top pick again for the people who enjoy it's playstyle.

 

https://snowcrows.com/builds/elementalist/weaver/hybrid-weaver currently this is the only way to play it, but it's a different build and rotation and this also existed alongside pure condi sword weaver most of PoF.

[In 1 1/2 years after an expac release, you only added a single map with 2 metas?]

How is it possible that a year and a half of content updates added only a single map with 2 metas that you can only do once per day?

Why can't I spam it, either? Why is the game still "go farm drizzlewood" 4 years later?

No, LS1 is not content. It was a 1 year content drought(again), and I have absolutely no idea why you'd harm the game with LS1's content drought not once, but twice. No one even does the LS1 ""metas"" as they have essentially no reward.

What did you even do the entire time? Other games release entire raids, zones, new gear sets, new entire systems, etc MULTIPLE times in this time frame(3 times, in fact). Yet you give..a single map? My head is exploding in confusion.

Can we expect beter from SotO? I sure hope so.

Looks like SotO is going to power creep the DPS even further.

I don't know if this game can handle 45k+ dps specs ;/

[superior rune of the trapper]

This rune has been a sick joke since it's implementation and Anet shows no sign at caring, apparently they like stealth on classes like DH that have no business stealthing.

Also some sort of sense to boon duration for Quick/Alac builds. A bunch of builds require 0 boondur and relatively minimal work (hello new quickscrapper, soon to be corrected deadeye, existing harbinger, and a host of other builds). A bunch of builds require high boon dur and forced tight rotations just to maintain the Q/A cocaine (wth druid, new scourge, etc).

What is the design philosophy here?

It's just how Anet is. I remember builds just randomly had 10 target target caps for 0 reason all the time. This is the exact same situation

They're slowly killing class fantasy and uniqueness when it comes to the professions for the sake of "options".

My classs fantasy isn't "useless and bad".

Every class should be able to do everything like Guardian and Engineer. This is the goal of GW2 since release, they have just failed at it.

I don't want to play core either, why would anyone? They're really boring and basic.
