i was thinking "why not making a topic where people can share thoughts about GW, like fun and maybe impossible ideas?"

i have some funny idea
what if anet could make an offline "demo" of GW where you cant get any titles, other than sunspear,. and no elite skins and such, just the basics, with hard mode unlocked right away
that "demo" would have all the nerfs people asks for, and alot of ideas from many people which anet shouldnt do, in order to keep customers coming, instead of leaving

think about it, save yourselves and alot of other skills which make strong builds being nerfed so they wont work with their builds anymore
soul reaping only once every 30 seconds

if they could make it for free (for both us and themselves) i'd suggest to show people what they're asking for
i bet that if they'd do it, alot of NERF shouters would be like: wow, i dont like this..... better not suggest any more nerfs from now on

i mean, to me it seems the game is made to make builds, and without some stronger skills, you couldnt make it through eotn on NM
nerfing so many good skills, only cuz they call it overpowered, cuz its stronger than other skills, will make the game having only weaker skills

be honest, if they actually nerf those skills, people go on and on until no skill is good, and getting through normal areas on NM would take hours (not counting WiK and WoC)

enemies can have 2 elites and monster skills, and more attribute points in anything, so with all working skills nerfed on player bars, enemies would be hard even on NM

anyway, my "demo" idea, is just to think about it, and the rest i typed is what i think about people shouting "OVERPOWERED!!!"

ps. this is NO suggestion topic, just a topic with "ideas, thoughts etc for GW what would be good or bad"
could say its a "what if xx in GW" topic, to see what others think about certain things

opinions are welcome, and " what if's" are, too

(hope i'm allowed to do this)
sry for not being able to explain it well, but i hope you get the idea

just dont make it a suggestion or "yes VS no war" topic

i'd love to see such demo and see people's faces "o_O what have i done???"

I do kind of like your basic premise, in terms of an opportunity to test builds in an controlled environment; honestly though I think you will find as you get more experience with the game. There are plenty of opportunities to experiment with Builds in the Heros/Henchies side of the game.

If you should come up with some truly awesome build I rather doubt at this point the Devs would Nerf it; the devs are not interested in that kind of content development, and I expect we pretty much have the game we have today going forward. The real cut off is NM vs HM; it's much harder to find player groups willing to participate NM on most things; people are generally available to help a new person leveling up and all; but HM is truly the normal mode of the game now, and NM has become rather neglected easy mode.

Unfortunately there is much more limited range of skills and builds that work HM; and players have very narrow expectations of whats on the skill bar of say an SoS rit; I'm not saying dont experiment; just that the game is much more unforgiving if your individual or team build is not spot on in HM.

Still many who'd be happy to help with NM as well as HM, although maybe harder to find. More likely to find help on guru than in game though.
