It does not kill anything it only changes it, and I argue against it because of the same reason many do. If they want to phase out farming and promote team play do it, 100%.
If they want to continue to eliminate certain builds then making a power shift to another class to substitute for content than it is what it is, a waste of time. Anet needs the player base to attract new players and this is their way of slowing you down to keep you around longer, not balance. I don't mind it either way I am used to it but don't dress it up in a bow and refer to it as balance. People by majority are fine with nerfs and expect them in a game. But three quotes everyone should remember when they try to air their concerns in this forum-
Those who never take anything too seriously have a distinct advantage over those who do.
The IQ of a mob can be determined by taking the IQ of the dumbest member, and dividing by the number of members.
The prime motivation for all human behavior is the need to feel superior to someone else.
Find something else to farm or spend a day working on a new build to do it, let the forum users spend their time calling each other noobs for stating an opinion, and except the fact the skill is dead and be glad you got the time you did out of it.
