What's with all the crying about ursan? What does it matter what someone else is running? For all I care you can run mending and frezy as long as you're not on my team, and if you're worrying about you not being able to show off in your tormented weapons and fow you are months if not years too late. Just about everyone doing the elite areas has them and if that's not the reason and you like a challenge get a group of players, think of a good team build and do DOA HM. But if you're here crying about more people farming the same areas you used to farm then gtfo.

No! Do not nerf Ursan Blessing... Now everyone get a chance to get into a group, mez, para, sin, rit, etc... Ursanway is the only team setup where any profession is welcome

Look, I hate the skill, but this is the millionth thread like this, but I'm tired of arguing about it.
Just like the fight over inscriptions, you are not going to change people's minds. People are very passionate about this and threads like this always just end up in flames.

Anet is just preparing for the death of the game. It doesn't matter if all the bad players get access to high end areas and overfarm them now. Now this game is about grind > skill, since no one is going to take a skilled warrior over a high ranked ursan. They don't need to change that, since it's just a foreshadowing of what GW2 is going to be like. Grind > skill.

If all the noobs go to GW2, and they support GW, who cares about GW2?

Edit: they won't nerf Ursan -_-, if they do, EoTN is devalued.

Personally, I don't care whether a skill-less build such as Ursan exists in the game. I just hate that getting into a non-Ursan PuG for certain areas is becoming harder and harder...

They've already said, repeatedly, that it's not getting a nerf. Personally, I don't care. Let people take Mallyx down in 20 seconds. If it means I can finally get into a group and go "Oh look, Ursans, we can do this" instead of "Oh god, three wammos, we're dead" I'm okay with it. GW's economy is already so damn broken anyway.

Even though I personally don't Ursanway.

At the risk of sounding like a dour New Age meany, I will attempt to humbly set forth a brief précis of Ursan users's most stolid traducements in hopes of convincing you, the reader, to help mention a bit about overweening blockheads such as Ursan users. Let me get to the crux of the matter: I like to face facts. I like to look reality right in the eye and not pretend it's something else. And the reality of our present situation is this: Ursan users and its hatchet men are, by nature, manipulative bozos. Not only can that nature not be changed by window-dressing or persiflage, but this is not the place to develop that subject. It demands many pages of analysis, which I can't spare in this letter. Instead, I'll just state the key point, which is that if we clear the cobwebs out of people's heads and help them understand that Ursan users's undertakings violate the rational, enlightened claims of their own enunciatory modality then the sea of ageism, on which Ursan users so heavily relies, will begin to dry up.

Every time Ursan users utters or writes a statement that supports revisionism -- even indirectly -- it sends a message that we ought to worship crude cowards as folk heroes. I, hardheaded cynic that I am, believe that we mustn't let it make such statements, partly because it is eminently uncontrollable, but primarily because imperialism has served as the justification for the butchering, torture, and enslavement of more people than any other "ism". That's why it's Ursan users's favorite; it makes it easy for it to grant bad-tempered prigs the keys to the kingdom.

I am not a robot. I am a thinking, feeling, human being. As such, I get teary-eyed whenever I see Ursan users pit race against race, religion against religion, and country against country. It makes me want to give it condign punishment, which is why I'm so eager to tell you that Ursan users wants to keep essential documents hidden from the public until they become politically moot. You know what groups have historically wanted to do the same thing? Fascists and Nazis.

Shame on Ursan users for thinking that people like you and me are peremptory! My next point of order is that Ursan users contends that courtesy and manners don't count for anything. Sounds rather clumsy, doesn't it? Well, that's Ursan users for you.

Perhaps Ursan users received its information (or rather, misinformation) from late-night television programs and "B" movies. Ursan users says that its vices are the only true virtues. This is noxious falsehood. The truth is that it asserts that women are crazed Pavlovian sex-dogs who will salivate at any object even remotely phallic in shape. Most reasonable people, however, recognize such assertions as nothing more than baseless, if wishful, claims unsupported by concrete evidence. I would unequivocally be surprised if Ursan users stopped to communicate and share ideas with even one of the people it regularly attacks. That shouldn't surprise you when you consider that I am a law-and-order kind of person. I hate to see crimes go unpunished. That's why I truly hope that Ursan users serves a long prison term for its illegal attempts to supply the chains that bind the individual to notions of self-loathing and unworthiness.

If you ever ask Ursan users to do something, you can bet that your request will get lost in the shuffle, unaddressed, ignored, and rebuffed. Ursan users is unable to support its assertions with documentation of any sort. In that context, one could say that Ursan users thinks I'm trying to say that this is the best of all possible worlds and that it is the best of all possible organizations. Wait! I just heard something. Oh, never mind; it's just the sound of the point zooming way over Ursan users's head. Ursan users's intoxication with careerism is what prompts it to pervert human instincts by suppressing natural, feral constraints and encouraging abnormal patterns of behavior. To be more pedantic about it, it is an inspiration to oppressive freaks of nature everywhere. They panegyrize Ursan users's crusade to replace discourse and open dialogue with benighted crusades and blatant ugliness and, more importantly, they don't realize that Ursan users's apologists believe that boosterism resonates with the body's natural alpha waves. Although it is perhaps impossible to change the perspective of those who have such beliefs, I wish nevertheless to make technical preparations for the achievement of freedom and human independence.

After being called a bookish perjurer a hundred times or so by Ursan users and its cheerleaders, I have reached the conclusion that that fact is simply inescapable to any thinking man or woman. "Thinking" is the key word in the previous sentence. The time is always right to do what is right. That's why we must raise issues, as opposed to guns or knives, while remaining true to those beliefs, ideals, and aspirations we hold most dear. The first step in that process is to realize that its reports are a parody of original thought. But there's the rub; it is currently limited to shrieking and spitting when it's confronted with inconvenient facts. Before you know it, however, Ursan users is likely to switch to some sort of "acquire power and use it to indoctrinate ethically bankrupt varmints" approach to draw our attention away from such facts.

I want nothing more -- or less -- than to unveil the semiotic patterns that Ursan users utilizes to blow the whole situation way out of proportion. To that task I have consecrated my life and I invite you to do likewise. Ursan users has found a way to avoid compliance with government regulations, circumvent any further litigation, and throw away our freedom, our honor, and our future -- all by trumping up a phony emergency. I and Ursan users part company when it comes to the issue of immoralism. It feels that its cajoleries are our final line of defense against tyrrany while I contend that if you think that this is humorous or exaggerated, you're wrong. We can quibble about many of the details but we can't quibble about the fundamental fact that we must protect our peace, privacy, and safety. Let's start by informing people that Ursan users is not the only one who needs to reassess its assumptions. Think about self-absorbed airheads. They too should realize that if I were elected Ruler of the World, my first act of business would be to halt the adulation heaped upon deplorable freaks. I would further use my position to inform certain segments of the Earth's population that Ursan users keeps saying that trees cause more pollution than automobiles do. Isn't that claim getting a little shopworn? I mean, when I was a child, my clergyman told me, "You can indubitably chalk up incidents such as the ones I've described to the mawkish nature of Ursan users's revenge fantasies." If you think about it you'll see his point.

Ursan users unquestionably believes that its cop-outs are Holy Writ. What kind of Humpty-Dumpty world is it living in? The most appealing theory has to do with the way that the next time it decides to exploit the feelings of charity and guilt that many people have over the plight of the homeless, it should think to itself, cui bono? -- who benefits? Why does Ursan users want to provoke terrible, total, universal, and merciless destruction? Psychologists might suggest that its perversions are not just about insurrectionism but also about misoneism. Counselors might think that Ursan users should slither back under whatever rock it crawled out from. Sociologists might point out that it can't relate what it sees to any broader principle. I agree with the above assessments, but Ursan users has no right to be here. That concept can be extended, mutatis mutandis, to the way that we must make this world a kinder, gentler place. If we fail then all of our sacrifices and all of the dreams and sacrifices of our ancestors will have been in vain. The key is to realize that if one believes statements like, "The ideas of 'freedom' and 'sensationalism' are Siamese twins," one is, in effect, supporting abysmal knuckle-draggers.

If you're like most people you just shrug your shoulders whenever you hear about Ursan users's latest cankered paroxysms. When your shoulders get tired of shrugging I hope you'll realize that to believe that the ancient Egyptians used psychic powers to build the pyramids is to deceive ourselves. I agree that Ursan users's demands are a covinous orgy of extremism. But I also think that Ursan users likes to quote all of the saccharine, sticky moralisms about "human rights" and the evils of moral relativism. But as soon as we stop paying attention, it invariably instructs its associates to undermine the individualistic underpinnings of traditional jurisprudence. Then, when someone notices, the pattern repeats from the beginning. Though this game may seem perverse beyond belief to any sane individual it makes perfect sense in light of Ursan users's pestiferous double standards. Okay, this letter has become much too long so I'll just jump right to the punchline: The cardinal rule of Ursan users's ideas is that coprophagous mysticism is the only thing that matters.

You really took the time to read all of it ? Follow the link at the bottom of my post.

Ursan. Whether you're for it or against it, about everything as been said. So why another one of those useless post that only takes this community apart ?

I was very bored, and that's probably the post of the year on Ursan. Everything has been said.
