Balance the game (Discussion)

There is nothing fun about 1 hit kills, kill spells, spells that kill you, or attack skills that kill 3 people at once. There is nothing fun about 25v8. There is nothing fun about playing against teams which exploit bugs. There is nothing fun about skills that prevent you from doing ANYTHING. There is nothing fun about ganking. There is nothing fun about stupid, pointless objectives. There is nothing fun about builds that cannot be countered in any way. Find someone to actually play the game and fix the over/underpowered skills and the stale metagame.

Why this is a good idea

• 99% of your players want the OP skills/builds taken out of the game and replaced with options. They want OPTIONS, not "run hexway or lose."
• Many players who quit because the game was unplayable might come back again and, if you do a good enough job, might actually consider buying GW2.

Why this might not work

• Anet couldn't find a competent game balancer if one of 'em hit them in the face.
• Even if they could find a competent game balancer, they probably would ask him to mess up the game even more.
• People will complain no matter what is done to Balance the game.
