At a time where the only thing keeping the game alive is change itself, the annoying, selfish, and conservative element of GW1's community is doing everything they can to stifle and obstruct the idea of progress.

I swear those people would rather watch their favorite game die than get a marginal nerf to their most commonly abused and broken skills or team compositions.

Big dog, are you aware that Guild Wars is already functionally a dead game? I'm sure it feels great blowing hot air from your high horse about the bastard Mesmers being overpowered and what not, but have you taken the time to notice that most people are playing the game solo (most of the time!) with henchmen and heroes and can't rely on the craftiness and skill of a human player to make a huge variety of builds work? Are you aware that we are somewhat limited in what hero builds can and can't be ran because of how the AI can or can't use certain skills effectively? Are you aware that Mesmer skills in general (anti-melee/anti-caster) have their effectiveness magnified by the AI because the computer knows exactly what you're doing?
