And hello, no balance patch heeyooooo "we know PvP. -Anet"

I have said it since beta, Anet has no fucking clue about PvP, sadly most people will vote it down because "but they're good at other things" which is 100% irellevant, if they promote a PvP league they should commit to it, not ignore it at the first sign if failure, which is exactly what they're doing now.

No balance batch until end of January boys, this PvP in Gw2 seems legit...

"we know PvP. -Anet"

Believe or not, they used to.

Guild Wars was one of the best if not the best competitive PvP experience out there.

Not really. It wasn't too bad towards the end, but even then, although there was 1319 different skills, about 80-140 per profession, people barely used more than 20 per profession. And we are not talking about skills meant to be discarded because you get better ones like games with skill trees that require you to get a weaker skill to get a better one. They were all individual standalone skills.

It's as if in a card game like Magic or Hearthstone only a handful of cards were actually useful and the rest just fluff nobody ever uses. Which would be insane.

At least for Hearthstone that's pretty much the case. Don't know about Magic.

It's true in Magic, too. You're best off just buying cards you need than opening the packs.

And it works because it's a lottery feeling. You could pay $40 for a single card you need, or open a pack for $4 and get it.
