Man I usually never discuss anything just playing from the shadow and watching the state of the game but I can't hold it back anymore I must write this down. I have been playing GW since 2005. I could feel the downfall of GW1 but in that time I knew that GW2 was in development and I was happy. Since release I was really passionate about GW2 until the beginning of 2020 when the big layoffs were done. Since then the quality of the game has dropped significantly (from my opinion). I usually enjoying the skills reworks which were impactful and interesting before 2020. Not to mention the fact that every 3-4 month we got big reworks of skills and traits and I miss the excitement that I was thinking about new builds and experimenting them. From 2020 we have less impactful and interesting changes and frequency of the delivery of the major changes has increased. I am Engi and Guard main (mostly engi, guard rotation is too easy for me) and when I saw the design of the shortbow I already put myself on standby state to that extent that I only log in for Jade Runestone and Antique Summoning Stone. I do longer sessions only when my wife asks me to join in WVW (which is a pain in the kitten this week with Gandara too). Cantha in GW1 was my favourite. I got lost in Seitung, Kaineng or Echowald for hours so when Anet announced EOD my hype was in the skies until I played it. The presentation of Cantha in EOD was so bad (again my opinion) that I just rushed trough everything to do the mandatory Masteries, story etc. I was thinking okay maybe the Living word will save Cantha with several maps and good story but instead we got 1 map a mediocre story and a new expansion was announced. Willbender was bad in the beggining so I played Mechanist. Since Mechanical Genius increases the cooldown of the mech skills I don't play that elite spec (replacing the toolbelt skill with 3 static skills which cooldowns are increased when mech is not near us is NET dumb kitten). To top that rifle buff then nerf hit me hard as well. My favourite: 28th November 2023 game update notes: "Rifle and pistol are both receiving some general improvements to make them more compelling options" And what is the first I read below it: "Net Shot: Increased the casting time from 0.24 seconds to 0.62 seconds." Ok SOTO came. I was like hey at least we get new weapons. What they didn't mentioned that we have to wait 6 MONTHS! for it (icing on the cake that new weapon designs are mediocre). What is this strategy that I buy something and then I have to wait almost a year for a full content? So I rushed trough story again (which is 1 hour max) and the rest is same as with EOD. I'm not a big achivement hunter so I don't find it interesting to do. I'm starting to lose all hope and I am feeling the same downfall of GW2 as I felt it with GW1. The only problem there is no GW3 in sight and I don't want to play Throne and Liberty. Thanks for reading this and have a nice day!

- Skill 2 blast finisher and Skill 4 fire field should be swapped - Skill 3 should get Regeneration - Skill 2&3 should be a 5x pulse and damage field. Might, condition removal and regeneration numbers can be tweaked according to the 5x pulse field - Skill 2 cooldown should be 6 sec and Skill 5 cooldown should be 20 sec - Skill 1 autoattack needs some extra. I leave it to the devs imagination And that's it. Do it need to be exclusively a support weapon? (Altough I wish the design would be more impactful not the lazy all skills are/do the same. Something like the Engi hammer and Rev shortbow hybrid)

Can you just get rid of the Mechanical Genius recharge increase penalty? It is so dumb. Why ranger has no penalty when pet out of range then. Not only we have no toolbelt skills but this as well. Even the trait name is "Genius" not "Dumb". Mech AI is not the best and I can't send it at least to facetank the champion while I range it because I have to be in range with it otherwise I have 50% "toolbelt" recharge rate. Remove it or at least rework it. Thanks A casual GW enjoyer since 2005
