Maybe they realized that Ranger energy spirits don't stack right, and that Draw Spirit is broken, and that they forgot to fix them and are working on that!

Not the best situation, but it could end up to be quite exciting.

It shouldn't be about who can adapt quickest, Anet should give us some headsup on skills balances, so we can adapt before the season starts, rather than trying to do so during the season, which can bring losses pretty quickly. This is pretty shabby of Anet, although I imagine the leaked skill balances has made Anet rethink what skills to fix.

For the record, Gaile confirmed that the leaked skill balance was fake. However, she didn't confirm when the real one will be released.

I doubt that it was fake, it was probably just a proposed balance, not the actual one. Probably just a stage one update, or a first draft or whatever.

I agree with the OP here, I think it would be nice if the update came a bit sooner so we could adjust our build apropriatly if we need to. Having to come up with a new concept as well would suck.
There were a couple of posts that bothered me though, and those were the ones ragging on people who copy builds. There are 2 types of teams in a guild battle, the winner and the loser. There is no award, or rating given to the guild who was origional, just the one that won the battle. While farming the ladder by staying up for days at a time can be a problem, just becuase someone uses someone else's build doesn't mean they're worse at it. Guild Wars PvP is about winning, not being origional.

Something like that, the skills they had listed are wrong but the balance update isn’t. She said by the end of this week more then likely Thursday some time, if I recall is seemed when they did skill balance is was always update then. Also she added that a new log in screen was coming soon.

1) Gaile OF COURSE said that the leaked list was fake...Do you expect them to be embarrassed like that and show the flaws in their alpha program?
Its just like I said probably, It was a proposed list from the alphas and they are probably rushing now to tweak what they'll be updating so they can scream that the list was fake and everything on their front is A-Ok.
2) I am starting to beleive shady Geocity (or w/e) sites more than I beleive what Gaile says nowadays..

I agree bout the timing....but maybe this will be the idea of this season start?...anyway:
The fake skill list got some pretty good ideas, I hope some of them are already in the real list, also I would like to see skills that need boost and not listed in the fake upgraded as well
So we can only sit and wait (where the "sit" part is optional)

If they were fake, she wouldn't have asked everyone and everywhere to remove them; she would just have commented about them being fake.
My guess is that the final skill balance will be 95% true to what was leaked.
What I find rather interesting is that I didn't have the perception that the Alpha-Testers were SO many. Recently it turned out that A LOT of the top guilds, plus people working in forums, have someone with the alpha-tester status. I understand that ANet wants to hear from people who use and push their skills to the limit, but that's like having a strong insider for many many guilds.
In this occasion, skill balance will come the same day the ladder reopens; unlike the OP, I'm under the impression that most top guilds have already been experimenting new builds in the light of the new changes, which are still unknown to the mass. And I feel rather disappointed for that.
