"Shut your talk-hole, bookah. Every time you open it, you drip stupid all over my floor." -Zojja I have a soft spot for biting insults.

GW1 was a slow paced tactical rpg. GW2 is a fast paced action platformer with an RPG skin. As a result, I had a lot of trouble getting into GW1 when it came out and spent more time in WOW. Now that I'm older though, I'm more drawn to the complex strategy then the action, which has gotten REALLY repetitive over the years. GW1 only gets better as it ages, while GW2 is just getting stale. When are MMO makers going to figure out that there are 15 million former WOW players who are now adults and are longing for a deep, challenging game? We have disposable incomes now... cmon... make one already. We are an untapped market.

Condi/Power > Vit/Prec Would be great for my condi necro. Need the Vit to compensate for the POF reaper shroud nerf, but can't get it without a massive DPS loss.

It has no possible use. The passive LF generation is trivial, and the active is completely outclassed by Blood traits. Blood already offers 3 full revive* skills (WoB, Lesser WoB, and Transfusion), and all of them are on MUCH lower cooldowns. I can't imagine any situation where I would need it's support function but wouldn't also be running Blood anyway, so it offers nothing. *-yes, they fully revive targets, and do so reliably, as long as you get to them quickly before they've lost too much health.

Larger? I want them smaller! They are so distracting. Just make all damage floaters fully customizable please. You know, like every other game in existence.

If they are too hard for some players, that should be fine. In fact, it should be the intended design goal. Isn't this supposed to be a social game? A hard boss is just incentive to bring a friend or two.

What I would do is make the pet fully controllable. Move to location, guard ally, jump of a cliff, whatever. I want to be able to have my pet and I working on different things at different positions on the battlefield. As it is now (and forever) he's just a DOT with a hitbox.

Remove a constant reminder that there are things you could be buying? You do not know Anet. (+1 though, but it's a pipe dream)

So you'd basically be completely eliminating one of the key aspects of the game design, without rebalancing the game or adjusting in any way. Um. No.

Customizable UI. edit for clarity: I mean placeable and resizeable windows, not third party addons. Background and transparency settings for those windows would be great too. example: conditions/buffs on target would appear in their own window, that we could place where we want so it's easily visible. Same for conditions/buffs on self. example 2: floating damage numbers size and placement. currently, they appear directly over the target and obscure it so we can't read it's animations and react. I would kill for the ability to offset them above or to the side so I can see the target properly and react to what it's doing.

Depends on how you define panic. It gives steady moderate LF gain and doesn't need a cooldown. Good to offset a low LF weapon like Sceptre, but if you need a lot of LF like RIGHT NOW then other skills like Axe 2, Spectral armor, or Warhorn 5 build it up faster.

How about option to disable content guide completely? 5 years, no change, still can't use 30% of my screen...

OP didn't say which ones they were talking about, but I'm guessing we have very different opinions of what "ugly" is. To me, almost all of the post-release armors are an eye-bleeding mess of over-the-top ridiculousness, while all my favorite armors have been in the game from release (eg, primeval armor, norn racials are my tops). For heaven's sake, I still sometimes use the "Embroidered Pants" that I unlocked at level 10 on my very first character because there are literally no other pants for female light armor.

Staff is great for a Chill Of Death condi build. Scepter is better for sustained DPS, but you can open with staff for a condi burst and it's also good for emergency LF generation, condi cleanse or cc. Not the primary weapon but still an important part of the build. If you have good timing with your shroud bombs, you can get the condi burst and CC without having to wait 10s to swap by using shroud during the CD time. In other builds it's dreadfully weak as others have said, and is only good for skill 4 and 5 and for LF generation.

My buddy gets this bug on his laptop (wireless) and I've literally never heard of or seen it (corded) - and it went away when he swapped to a corded connection. So it may be related to packet loss.
