as times goes by more and more people complains about the "fixes" to some skills of their profession, this topic isn't about complaining or suggesting a fix, because mostly these suggestions are going to be about the "easy" way and the "anet" way... so, no complains, just suggest, and please if a mod can block the devs from accesing this topic it would be appreciated (j/k)



i'll start

Expertise

The easy way: it only affects ranger skills, 3% per rank
The anet way: For each rank of Expertise, the Energy cost of all of your skills are decreased by 4%. In order to achieve this you must strike once per rank. (so to achieve a 40% you must strike 10 foes first)

keep going

mk,
put a skill that in your opinion is broken, and how to fix it, then suggest some outrageous idea to fix it
kinda like the soul reaping fix, it would have been easir to stop the energy gain from spirits than changing the whole mechanics of it

easy way: remove nrg gain from spirits
anet way: the way it is actually

The easy way isnt always the best way.

Patching a leak doesnt fix the fact that the levee is poorly constructed and will break.

The mechanic changes Anet implements are based on the fact that they've been doing changes to skills to fix those problems to begin with, and still the same exploits keep popping up, when in fact its the mechanics themselves that should have been fixed.

It's just a game. You people need to chill.
Mystic Regeneration
Easy way: Move to mysticism/ up the attribute ranks needed to get +3 regen
A.Net way: For each enchantment you have on you, you die. In a horrible explosive fashion. All adajacent skill bars are changed to Echo + Mending.

this sound like another let bash A-net thread. Nice try, no cigar.

P.S: a forum game would belong in the off topic/whatever section of the forum.

Hou could I forget the all-powerful Echo-mending-frenzy combo? I guess this is why I suck at PvP. Fixed.

So....put an ability that is over powered and show how it should be nerfed? Ok...here goes nothing....

Annoying A-Net Flame
A-Net way: politely respond to such rants and still continue to provide the players with constant updates and events.

My way: ask them to shut the hell up, and if they don't like tha game, go outside and stop ruining it for those of us that do. When that fails, I shall begin work on a huge device that mute whiners from being heard by anyone except other whiners, thus forcing them to hear their mindless A-Net bashing comments all day and, hopefully, driving them mad....or just stop comming on these forums

Precisely why this thread is being closed before it erupts into a flamefest.
