Guild Wars 2 - Before The Patch - Head of the Snake - MMORPG.com
The first story release of 2017 is right around the corner, with the next Living Story episode, Head of the Snake, and a new raid wing both expected with the upcoming patch. This will be the first time a raid wing will release side by side with a story episode, and- alongside other parts of the release- will be one of the biggest individual content updates to the game to happen in quite some time.

Doesn't sound too bad to me.
How about that - GW2 has a hater on this forum - who knew? There have been many updates recently and the game is still going strong.

I haven't even tried any of the raids yet... I'm not sure how popular they are.. I spent a good while looking for a group the other night and the only ones recruiting seemed to be selling the raids.
There are plenty of builds out there. If you don't know what you are doing, not the games fault.
gw2 however..
So no, there aren't "plenty of builds out there" if you want to be successful. Play several rounds of PVP and get back to me.
As much as I love GW2, I have to agree with you.
Most of the classes cannot compete without speccing to Elite specs, which means this already narrowing build choices for most of the classes, mainly revenant.

I simply don't know what Arenanet was smoking when they decided to give the core specs of their new profession little mobility, a crippling weakness to conditions on its power spec, no complementary 2nd legend to its condi spec, half of an underwater build, and no flexibility in its utilities. And yet they still never miss a beat in hard nerfing this profession with every balance patch.
GW1 had WAY MORE BALANCE ISSUES than GW2 - 50HP monk? 50HP Assassin? I could go on.
Depends on the Tier of WvW - T1 - BLOBATHON. T2 - what you are talking about. T3 - havoc at will. anything below does not have the proper coverage.
Unlike these new evasion staff thieves... which does as much damage with much less skill, or the much hated trap guardian that everyone seems to play now. I can't say that I'm excited when I see a rev on my team, but when I see a decent one I have to give them respect, it's not the easiest choice after all the nerfs.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC59QVuMC0suY-jjTHneKYgARev was also stupid strong in high lvl pvp when it was first out. Like, every team needed to have a rev if they wanted to get kills. If played to its highest level it would destroy most players quickly. However, with the new meta shifts, the rev nerfs are appearing to be a bit too heavy handed.
My advice; Don't play rev unless your playing it at a high level. Avoid thieves all the time, don't 1v1 anyone unless you know you can beat them via observation of how they play, stay with your team because revs do super good in team fights along with 2v2s.
I got to platinum 3 playing only rev before I had to stop because I got a new job.

I'm speechless TBH..

The maintowns will be packed most hours of the day but if there are more or fewer people around then 6 months ago? No idea.
You're showing you know nothing.
I seen a PvP team of engineers mop up a team of warriors, some of which were in the same mindset as you. When confronted with the truth about skill being superior to class, they proceeded to message salty PM claiming we were hackers.
But I bet all of those engineers were scrappers. The only other build people play in PvP are burn engineers relying on condi, and those have been phased out due to heavy focus on condi cleanse elementalists.
The point stands... there are few GOOD builds to play.
Every class but rev has at least 2 okay builds to play in PvP and almost all of them require elite specs. Have you seen rangers that aren't using druid? Warriors that don't use berserker? Guardians that don't use DH? Thieves would be worthless now without Daredevil - zero survivability. Scrapper is the best spec for damage and sustain for engineer. And are you really picking death shroud over reaper? And herald is the ONLY way to play the rev in PvP. the ONLY successful way, and I've only seen 1 rev in the past 3 weeks not using it. He did zero damage and had zero sustain. He was the weakest link.
Lets get real here...
