Thats a Mini, not a ranger pet. Edit: What I would really love to see is a actual ranger pet that has the exact appearance of the Bee Dog. Oh man I would love that so much! And a ranger pet as a Frog, or Blue Monkey lol. With the same skill that stuns you.

Super Adventure Box is my all time favorite event in gw2, I cant enough of it. Which leads me to ask you guys and anet if you would like to see a giant Super Bee Dog as a pet lol? https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/8/88/Mini_Super_Bee_Dog.jpg

Do you mean the nayhaters or ones who support my post?

As a person also with tens of thousands of hours pvping, and wvw'ing, I can say for certain I know my class very well, and 9 years playing gw1, with GWAMM under my belt. Its not my skill, its my build power ratings, and ineffectiveness to cause enough damage to the other player. They have double or more my hit power, and strength. They do 3 times the dps. My build has been nerfed like 10 times over the past 6 yrs because it was so strong, and people whined about it. It was once so OP, I could do a instant 30k spike cdps but 30 k is nothing now. It used to be massive damage, but 40 k 1 shots is now the norm. While my 30 k cdps dwindled in power down to 7 k cdps. Anet has ruined my once feared and fun build.

This is true in some sense, yes any noob is going to get smashed by anyone who does wvw on a daily basis, but lets say someone waits a year, gets ascended gear, reads up on what they need for wvw, prepares for wvw, then finally makes it in, has a good build and still gets smashed by some EOD meta build, and just quits the game, I know people who did this. They spent a year+ waiting to do wvw, and then get there and just leave gw2 for good. And you cant make an excuse that they were weak or just weren't cut out for wvw. Its not only Anet that frustrates me, but people like you and all the rest who are P2W deniers who refuse to open their eyes and see what is really happening to the community, and new players coming into the game.

Of course the devs need money to live, and work, and continue to keep Gw2 running, but they are escalating the power lvls of the new characters to much that core builds cant even compete against them. How is it so hard for you to understand this? Did you not read the opening argument? This game IS Pay to win now. It has been since HoT, with new builds being more powerful than core game. Of course they weren't too OP where core players couldn't kill them, but now with EOD the lvl of power is way beyond being able to kill them, its not even close to even. The only way I could kill a EOD build is if they stood still for 2-3 minutes and let me pummel them. If they fought back I'm dead.

You play WvW? What class do you play normally, and do you use core builds? I see core builds alot in "zergs" but not many core roamers unless new and don't have many SP for new elite specs yet. I've killed my fair share of players with my core ranger, but been killed more. You cant sit there, and tell me you don't see imbalance in wvw. Not without lying. And any1 who says otherwise is a liar too.

1: I roam, and I prefer to scout and roam at the same time. Many roamers would agree, there are classes of roamers, and I roam on my Core Ranger. Its a stealth trap ranger, and fun, but when I come up against other roamers of the new variant such as the ele EOD meta type, or Necro, its best to stun them, and run. I stand literally no chance. I've hit them with double everything I had, every CC i had, and still couldn't get their health down to 75%, and they do 2 hits on me and I'm dead. This type of game play isn't fair at all. I'm no whiner, but my level of frustration has been boiling for "years" This isn't from just a few skirmishes and felt like ranting, this has been boiling over from years of anet creating an imbalance of builds. I'm seriously angry about this and you should too. 2: The 1 shot kills have been around forever, but no contest, the skills in the new meta are just so powerful even the weak skills can 1 shot me, instant down or even instant KO. The Sniper Assassins are the exception because of their glass design, however the wars, guards, eles, revs, every class from literally EOD has 1 shot kill skills, and my core ranger, it takes like 5 minutes to kill some players like that. Its gotten to the point sometimes they will PM me and praise my success for using a core build and taking them down, which is sad. Being complimented for all the wrong reasons says alot about the difference in strength and isnt right. Anet should be ashamed of themselves.

*EYE ROLL* Youve trolled my thread long enough.

Anet has leaned far extreme left in the last 7 years, even more radical than when they first began gw2. I think its effected their judgement on running the game, and also how it mandates infractions on players. However they have been very kind to me over the years, and have gone from people I once hated to forgiving them for the harm they've done to their own community, and me as an individual. But as for their builds are concerned, its just blatantly uneven. So much so its not even close. A core ranger build maxed out in DPS, and some sustainability has no chance with the new EOD Meta Ele, Necro, or some Rev Builds. I mean, even my ele, with max sustain, defense, Nomads, and evade will burn to death in seconds against the new ele builds. Its not core either but stands no chance. The only thing it can do is run.

You must have missed where I said "Ive spent over $2000 usd" on this game, I'm a big fan of gw2, but not anets new shift in policies.

Actually that is EXACTLY what I am accusing Anet of doing, 100% you deserve a metal. And they ARE, that is exactly what anet is doing and it needs to change NOW.

There must be a misunderstanding then, when you refer to elites, what I am reffering to is the Build's Strongest Skills, the core of the entire build, and yes I understand the new meta builds require more SP to unlock than core skills. But they should be just as strong.

So you came here to shut my thread down, and call my comments names. Instead you are part of the problem and why this has never been fixed. I see you've made many posts, you must be a regular troll, or do you contribute to the benefit of the community in some manor?

Yes and now its time to make CORE ELITES equal in power.

No of course not what are you crazy? They should just be equal in strength. The skilled players should win, but some meta classes I face, theres just no chance no matter how skilled I am. They are just impossible to kill with a core build.

The whole point of competitive content is to keep players HAPPY, and fighting each other with SKILL, not "BUYING SKILL" So you are saying that to be better now at the game is to just buy your skills? Anet designed WvW maps to be balanced in both distance from spawns, preventing each side from having too much advantage in exploits, and balancing server activities by combining them. Anet shot themselves in the foot long ago with wvw because of their failed attempts to make wvw fair with spawn campings leaving defenders exposed with no way to defend themselves. But buying your way to the top seems the only way now to get 2 legs up on new players now and core players. Enemy players underestimate my core character every time when I rip their @$$ a new 1 because they think its just going to be an easy kill. Sometimes I can kill new meta players other times its like, I stood no chance at all. It angers me severely because it was designed this way by people who don't give a crap about us anymore but just use the game for a steady $ now.

Ok yes you did have to "buy" the game first but yes it was F2P later. I was confused on what you meant. That was my mistake.

I'm not "PICKING" on anet, I created this thread so Anet would see it and stop making new builds so Over Powered. Its insanity. There is a serious imbalance in WvW and PvP on builds, when they say content should be balanced but are hypocrites in not doing what they say.

You're not getting what I'm emphasizing. Yes I've bought every expansion in the game, I've spent well over $2000 usd on gw2 and I continue to play it as though its still F2P but no you are wrong about the F2P, it always F2P from the very beginning, but they added content you had to buy later, and their gem store helped with funding their server expansions.

Like I said to Mythical, the new content has to be equally as strong as older content. Not impossible so OP that they cant be beaten. Its gotten to a point now where newer content is too strong and pushes new players away from the game and they just quit entirely. The new story content will never lose its appeal and even if the EOD expansions didnt have new class builds I'd still pay $ for the content, but new builds are just TOO STRONG. Its gone past a point where new content can kill core players in 1 shot in wvw literally. Ive seen many 1 shotters without even trying on new players or core builds including mine.

But anet promoted the vision of F2P when it first came out, then some addition they added where it changed that core value angered many Gw2 players and they later nerfed their update and kept their core value to F2P. Its F2P but with heavy restrictions on older content which is stupid and goes against their Original core values. We all know Anet needs $ to run, but they shouldn't be making new content so ridiculously OP that someone new to the game learning builds can't even hope to compete with new META. It's gotten to the point where people coming into the game are getting wrecked so bad in wvw they just refuse to ever go back after such a bad experience, even if they are BEGGED to go back. Some just never come back.

Yes good players adjust, and I have changed some things, but the core remains on some toons. And I do keep some builds that are hilariously fun to use the same as they were 5 yrs ago. But it has been nerfed countless times, and now pretty much powerless. It cant kill most of the new Necro Builds unless they are just learning the build, or the new Ele Meta, I literally stand no chance when I encounter them. The only thing is to either show a big fight, or run.

Core builds, once feared, now obsolete and useless in WvW, and PvP. Its either buy new content or stand no chance against new meta builds. I know pvp isn't like that, but wvw is. PvP is pretty equal with talent required game play, however WvW, no matter what you do to your characters as far as armor, runes, sigils, and build for core builds they stand no chance against new meta builds unless you use extreme tactics, skill, and trickery. Ambushes, stealth, pulls, stuns, disabling, seems like my only chance to shut down and kill some of the new META classes. There are so many things that anger me about gw2, that I could make 10-15 more threads about them but I'm not usually a complainer. I stay in my corner and keep quiet but my level of frustration has peaked. I love core builds, and hate some of the new classes. But why should I move to a new class just to be more powerful? Why cant Anet keep them even in power?

After creating some guild names, I'm sure players who created the names have a change of heart years later after playing the game. I'm sure I'm not the only player out there whos made a guild and regretted making a bad name that they are stuck with. I wish there was a name change contract for Guilds just like player names. Originally I made my guild for pvp but I began to play alot of pve, and fractals so the name kinda seemed silly. I just wish there was a way to change it 😑
