Yeah, just compare the new support specs to firebrand/renegade. Firebrand/renegade can be full support while still doing high DPS and essentially "hybrid" while the new specs, like machinist for example, has to give up tons of damage and take all it's support traits.

There's no consistency and they forget to fix things on older specs, so the games just..a disaster.

 

Ya exactly. For me personally I don't like most of the EOD tradeoffs...or rather, I think they aren't good enough in design...they could be a lot better but at least they are trying and I'll give them that. 

 

I have little hope though because the way things Anet has stated as the direction of the game...shows general lack of understanding the majority of the concepts behind why trade-offs are useful and how they are meant to balance games. I actually wrote a thread you should look at because it touches on those things in detail about trade-offs.
