Anyone else realize this is retarded?

Why didn't they just disable the spell completely?
I mean, you use this signet in PvE for spirits. That's why it is called Signet of Spirits. But in PvP, it gives you 13 energy. That's it. They completely erased any remains of the original spell, and changed it completely.
If the spell is too OP for PvP, then just disable it instead of changing it completely to an entirely different spell. It's just stupid. I mean, it's not even Signet of Spirits anymore if you just make it give you energy. And you have to be within earshot of a spirit nonetheless for it to work. What kind of lame Elite Spell is this in PvP?
Sorry for the rant, but in my honest opinion, I think it is ridiculous to change an entire spell just for PvP use. When you discard everything from the original and change it to something completely different, it's just stupid and pointless.

That's what you call the pve version of a skill. You've seent that before, right? Anet has been doing this awhile. Its the only reason you get to summon your bank of spirits in pve, not the other way around. Its the only reason you get a 3/4 to 1 sec cast time for your spirits in pve, instead of the 3 to 5 secs before the update and which is still in pvp. This is a silly complaint.

IMO they way they seperated the two playing environments with the PvP skills was a totally half ass way to fix the problems. IMO it looks the same as holding something together with duct tape and glue, a fast and easy fix without looking at what could make it more efficient. I could go on but I don't feel like it.
And yes, the PvP version is absolutely pointless.

SoS has been like this forever. Why are we complaining about it now?
And do you seriously want the PvE version in PvP? Rits would be able to hold shrines in AB by themselves. Capper heroes in HB would all be rits. And I don't even want to think about what would happen in GvG and HA.
Oh, and there are tons of examples where PvE/PvP splits have been good for the game (WE for example). So....please, just get over it.

This is a major change to a spell from PvE to PvP. That's what the complaint is about. Unlike most spells where it is a minor change, this changes the spell completely to something extremely different from the original. Not even close to true. Ever heard of Smiter's Boon or Warrior's Endurance or Aegis or Unyielding Aura? There are a lot of skills that have HUGE differences in PvE and PvP

If you haven't noticed, all I am complaining about is that a skill is changed completely to another skill from PvP to PvE. The skill is modified completely different from the original to something that has nothing to do with the original.
My complaint, is about just that. Why change a skill to something completely different from the original? You can use any skill you want in it's place. I'm using SoS as an example. If you want to use a different skill, more power to you.
So you can complain and whine all you want and insult me all you want over the internet, but it all comes down to this. Why change a spell completely from the original to something completely new just for PvE/PvP sakes? That's all. Have fun with your nerdrage.

Enjoy your nerdrage for complaining about why a skill was changed.
OMFGZ is liek not liek the othr Onez!?!!!?!!!@?

Its a dumb complaint that seems to fail to acknowledge the difference between the pve and pvp versions of some skills while at the same time basing the complainit on exactly that. Kinda weird actually.
