To my understanding, the game is about dead anyway. There will be no more expansions, and no more new elite specs. In light of this, I fail to understand why the limited pick of builds are further limited from patch to patch. Is balancing decided with a dartboard by a couple unpaid interns? There's no flexibility, nothing to experiment with, and they take away more than they give every time. Why can't I play my freezing, bleeding, shout based condi reaper? Taking that away was a very poor decision on Arenanet's part. Their power reaper is flavorless in gameplay by comparison. Why take away the spread of the Scourge's aoe's? If the design decisions here are to 'put everyone on equal footing', they're going about it in a terrible way. Give players more options, instead of restricting and nerfing and downgrading as a policy. Plenty of classes have only one way to play them in any given game mode, if that, with any expectation of victory. That's terrible game design.
