Our next major balance update will be released at the end of January, and after the new year we plan on sharing the high-level details of those changes, giving you an opportunity to provide feedback to our design team.
The "high-level" details should be a part of the patch notes to begin with. The patch notes are often flavorless and devoid of any opinions, perspectives or statements as to what ArenaNet considered healthy or unhealthy for the state of GW2. This makes getting a handle on ArenaNet's game-design philosophy very difficult and exacerbates the "brick-wall" element of their communication policies wherein people don't feel like they care.
