Note: This page contains multiple rants.

[edit] Rant #1: Heroes in PvP and their new henchmen forms.

Heroes should not be in pvp: They have some aspects where they have shown to be superior than humans (interrupt, hexes, enchripping, hexcleaning). Now some of you might suggest me that I gear/build against heroways. While it is a good recipe, PvP is Player versus Player, not Player versus AI. To eliminate this problem, Arenanet decided to finally replace them with henchmen using builds submitted by players.

Arenanet stated on multiple occasions that they want us to be creative, and they don't want some random meta builds to be submitted. Shard has a lot of evidence, I suggest watching his pages for more info.

[edit] Rant #2: PvE, Shadow Form

Shadow form by far is the best skill in GW PvE. It grants you immunity agains everything. It has avoided many nerfs many times, mainly because arenanet wants to satisfy the PvE-ers. But this means fucking up a good game. And as we know, good games attract more buyers than bad games, and good games' sequels sell well if they are good.
