If this patch leads to a Plague Doctor condi meta, and your company fails to follow up with subsequent balance patches frequently (this isn't the first time we have been promised more frequent balance patches), whatever temporary gains you get for promoting this massive patch will be quickly lost. There is a strong sentiment among players all over WvW who have stuck with the game as large numbers of their friend's accounts go dormant that they too are growing very weary of the game... If we are stuck with a condition meta through spring / summer I would wager WvW will have to be reduced to 3 tiers much sooner than you maybe expected. There will be an influx of long MIA players curious about all of these changes, but a dominant condition meta will make it all for naught. For years people have been proclaiming this or that upcoming game will be the death of GW2 WvW, and it hasn't happened yet - but there are still competitors on the horizon and the day when GW2 is one of the only compelling RvR games in town might fizzle out soon. Please just do a lot of follow up patches on things that are overtuned very soon and don't abandon the game mode when the job is half done. A massive nerf like this was needed very badly, but I strongly feel the changes here do not account for how damage over time in large group play in this game works and the players are going to suffer because of it.
