Rift: The new Roguefest
hey guys, what the heck is going on in this game....? All i see is a bunch of Rogues, Rogues, Rogues and more Rogues... Every time I get into a warfront, more than half the team is made out of Rogues!!!!
This is driving me crazy, I cant stand this anymore, sometimes I feel like logging out and do something else... Whats the point of logging into a game and get all mad because of this crazy Roguefest... I rather save it and dont get p**** off...
ps: Any of you have this same feeling, you want to run away from Rift because you are simply tire of watching how one class pretty much dominates 60% of the battlefield...?

It's FOTM and while I have no proof other then hunch I bet it will be changed. I prefer to play my warrior but getting killed while wearing plate from a leather wearing rogue in just a couple of hits makes me not want to pvp with my warrior anymore. So I jumped on the bandwagon and rolled a rogue just so that I could at least piss a few people off like everyone else is doing currently.
hm... I guess the balance and shifting of classes here in Rift is one hell of a Roller Coaster....
If you get killed as a warrior in a war front by a rogue I feel bad for you. There are shield and board builds that still destroy most of the bads playing Warfronts who do not even know their own rotations. Only thing OP about Rogues is the range of some of their attacks and ability to kite.
Everything else is a joke to kill. In my view get rid of pvp in this game completely. Post two threads about content updates and new stuff coming in 1.6 and no response...qq thread about pvp imbalance already up to 4 replies. MMO genre is so backwards it is not funny.
GW2 can not release fast enough so we can ship off the pvp'rs to that game to qq over there about hacks, op classes, and how bad ArenaNET is at class balance. <--if you know anything about GW2 the irony of those words is beyond funny
Guess what you described isn't Rift exclusive but can be simply called "playing an mmorpg".
Your second mistake is taking PvP balance in PvE-mmorpgs serious. Making your fun dependend on said "balance" will make you jump on the ftom bandwagon or ruin it for you.
That was about one of the best things in old Alterac Valley (and in open world pvp to an extend): You could pick your fights or often at least run to fight another day. Therefore non FTOM classes had a chance to win or get away -or pick another scenario on the map (like defending, stealthing behind frontline etc).
Today's warfronts are all designed as instant action pvp in a phonebooth, with both factions to meet in the middle of the map and directly clash upon each other at best. Equal conditions forced upon non-equal classes. Non-FTOM, classes which just don't work well otherwise under given WF-conditions (i.e. can't burst or kite) get the shaft.
