Iway isn't nerfed because the majority play it. They won't risk playing new things because they are afraid of losing and because eeryone else also plays iway. People leave the game because of it, but overall more people would leave if it were nerfed.

The fact is the best people who have played the game have already left the game as although it was origionally focused on individual skill its not anymore.. and probably won't be as long as ANET are selling copies and people play iway.

They are feeding WoW the best players and the most experienced gamers, FACT. The game is getting short term success, attracting new players selling copies and maintaining players due to iway. People will gradually get bored, the game will stop winning awards and get bad reviews, less people will buy it, maybe then they will either change it or focus on new games.

Quit or stop whining it won't change.

comments like this and "if it has counters, it doesnt mean its balanced" ffs are symptoms of whine.

Wow,this is exactly what I mean. I don't have any problems against EW in tombs and I never had,but it happens that I lose from rank 3+ IWAY. And all you IWAY players who calls us whiners,maybe you're right. Maybe we do whine,but what should I do when there is so stupid and overpowered build that requires no skill at all to play it dominating HA? And + ANET is not even trying to do anything about it,it's like they're inviting all players to play IWAY. Well guess what,you're look at new IWAY player. I'm going to play IWAY all day and see what happens. -_-'

about time you try playing iway leteci, that is the best way to learn how to counter it and you can see that it does in fact require some skill.

Well, the same goes for every build... the best way to learn how to counter it is to play it for a while...

I've played this game since it came out, i've been in rank 20+ guilds, i've led my own to top 30, i've held halls for hours on end and i can tell you that the games best players have left long ago and are playing WoW and other suc pay monthly games, because they don't have problems balancing things due to a constant stream of money.

You don't have any credibility, don't make claims about other peoples.

Timoz, what was your guild that was supposedly in the top 30? If you're going to boast, you best have some facts to back it up. Or, maybe you're trying to give yourself some credibility/'respect' by lying... Hmm...

Oh, and I want "finished" in the top 30. Not landed in the top 30 after beating an absolutly horrible guild that was rank 20, 10 minutes after ladder reset.

I don't think iway makes you a bad player anyway. The only thing about it, as I'm sure anyone will tell you, is that like any other build, playing it excessively won't teach you the fundamentals of "balanced". The main reason you should play any build is to have fun, so playing with friends is what's important. There are some iway players that are surprisingly good players in general, and there are some that are only good at one thing. The same can be said about other builds, I don't think a build is a good representatin of skill, just like rank doesn't always mean much.

Hey from a first person persuctive I played IWAY for a day and I've concluded >_<,that half the IWAYS arer pretty damn dumb and they don't even bother to get overextenders :/.So overextend freely since they no longer have trappers.Against a better IWAY that does try to get maybe your warrior or ranger to rush toward their orders and all the war's will run to get him letting you push your wards forward to the point where the orders have no longer much room to kite and your Warrior or Ranger isn't quite overextended.
