z-quests have changed from Jennur's Horde and Urgoz to Destructive Depths (again) and Mage of the Sands (again) post update.
Also... I thought the point of those res orbs in AB was to bring a shrine NPCs back to life. I mean, other then that those things are completely impratical (most players respawn by the time you can run into range and drop). I can't believe that was a bug.
And they said "they can't release info" not "there is no skill update planned." And everything is a sign GW is "dying" to you people. Shove it.
Update - Thursday, June 11

Yeah cool, I get to redo DD and that damn ele boss in Poisoned Outcrops. 
Arkantos
No April skill update, and now June's is delayed. If ANet have no clue when it will be released, I'm assuming it's not happening. Not a good way of pleasing the PvP community.

So, they've fixed a couple of bugs, and Budgered Budger? Poor Raptors.

I don't get how people were abusing rez orbs in AB. I mean, it's not like there's an infinite supply of them.
Since it got nerfed, can somebody explain to me how people were apparently churning out millions of free NPCs?

The reason for this: Things change/ need a second pass/ need more QA

If you're talking about the skill update, please tell me where Regina or anyone else informed us that the skill update was going to be delayed. Until then, I suggest you actually know what you're talking about before you try and be a smartass, thanks.

Regina still hasn't denied or confirmed one will take place.
God of Tempest
I'm getting pretty tired of not having a skill update without warning. This particular example, however, is much worse than the rest. No reason given, no expected date, nothing.

Hope it gets fixed, although I am done with HM Cantha.
Stolen Souls
Pretty much exactly what I expected....minor tweaks here and there, no skill update, people that made themselves believe there'd be a skill update today complaining that there's no skill update. ^_^
FengShuiDove
Kegs nerfed, HB farming nerfed.
Nooooot so excited about this one. Oh well, gives me the chance to break out A/Me perma again and still win Vaettirs (for now at least).

what i think is really funny is they say they are going to do updates for pvp love, but yet not a single skill update, but just press b warriors running weaken knees. hmm not op? its like why do they even bother lying? I am really surprised they still have their jobs with the economy being so bad.
Ghost Dog
Hmmmm I don't care I want them to work on gw2.
The shit isn't done yet, and when it is done you will all pick it apart and bitch all the same anyway why even bother anymore?
Honestly, some of you expect so damn much and yet I bet you aren't even the giving type.

Although the thing you mentioned about standing in a RoJ after the cutscene is fun.

No skill balance? Waste of update.

P.S. What is the deal with late game items at the GToB Merch? Not seeing any change there.

Do me a favour - can you guys on the cutting edge of exploitment tell me what the next exploit farm will be? Every time I decide to try one of these things, they nerf it - I want to be bang on time for the next one 
jimme
"Ehh guys, we messed up and didn't think about a skill balance..."
"Just tell them were doing back end stuff"

I say nerf every skill until there are no more fun builds left. Omg...some people might actually have fun raping some monsters and getting some worthless golds?!?!? Silly times have arrive at gw. Who really cares if keg farming was going on? People were actually farming some craptacular 600g golds? Millionaires... all of them must be millionaires! After an hour of kegging I was so bored I never went back, but for the first hour I had a blast blowing the snot out of those things. Now just nerf ROJ and shadow form and cry of pain and {fill in the blank} so people cant get rich having fun with guildies doing other farming runs getting the 600g unid golds, onyx and diamonds out the whazoo, and other junky drops. Nothing is worth farming anymore really. At first I thought, they really should nerf some of these skills, now... a few months later, I feel who really cares. If people are having fun, let them do it. Its a game, people want to pwn some stuff. Who cares? I kind of feel sorry for new players in the game. Us old timers had some good times and made some money back when items were worth something. Now anet nerfs anything and everything and gives us z-grind for 20 slot bags at 2500 copper coins. My days of caring are gone, but I can understand any QQ that other people have.

i hope you know there is a gw live team & a gw2 team, so i mean one set works on gw2 , one team is supposed to work on "balancing"/bugs gw
and yeah whats the point of the orbs in ab now? usless lol
keg farming was overpowered, gj finally nerfing it
thank god for The Treasure Hunter and Wisdom title now counting
mostly a pointless update to think we got new skills and z keys, i think anet is actualy trying to get people to quit gw

It's about game balance, your argument would go for gold farmers then, too.
Enhancing diversity, rewarding smart play style, erasing methods of getting the things you want too fast and keeping 'em playing that way. Only three arguments why to kill unbalanced stuff.
dusanyu
nice to see Skill changes are being tested Well now i give back retracted icy points 
Please Spend more QA time on some of the updated Elites that have been added over the past Few months like WK (how that passed any QA is beyond me) movement Punishment is one thing but Topping that with Ungodly Degen and you have a broken skill. LC and a fewe more of the Hexes need a looking (the Strength of some of these hexes in dammage over time should come with a Per use Drawback like mirror Degen on the user or a Life Sac)

Glad they have their sights locked on ROJ. Even if the skill balance is later, i'll be glad for it to be "adjusted".
Also lol keg bombing.

IMO nerf/change: mantra of resolve(vor mesmers have a field day bcuz they can get everything off)
weaken knees (read the skill if you have any questions)
ether prism runners( press b if you have any questions)
mb eles (press b if you have any questions)
ganking in halls (basically the same as ladder manipulation)
bspike (so pvers cant get champ title for HoM)
