Considering how long things have been on that list, I don't think anet cares about skill feedback anymore or doesn't think that any of the remaining issues are worth dealing with.

I think if someone found a skill that upset the game, they'd probably nerf it, but beyond that I think we are going to be stuck with the skills as they are.

That's not Izzy's fault. Izzy has a boss who tells him what the community wants and then Izzy has to balance the skills to the best of his ability for what the community(as unintelligent as they are) is requesting. Yes Anet is a development house and the focus should be on the game...but it's also a business so even more so than the game the business aspect is important.

Don't blame the developers for ruining Guild Wars in order to keep the masses happy..they had to.

Side note: how many of you have played with Izzy or had in depth conversations with him (in game or out) about why he made the balances he did or what his thought process was? I assure you Izzy was quite good at his job. It was the average player that ruined GW

Your main problem with asking Lindsey to listen to the community, is a fairly simple one... WHICH community?

I just want to say something to all the people who think the game is unbalanced etc etc, do you play other games? This reminds me of all the shit Blizzard has to go through about how unbalanced WoW is and every one swears they are leaving WoW forever because AoC/War/whatever will get it right. and guess what? It is a hell of a lot better balanced than you think and players always come back.

Your giving Izzy to much flame. If something goes up, something goes down.
For example, Palm Strike went up, Earth Shaker went down. Lichway went up, golemway went down. Tease heroes went up, necro heroes went down. 3 monks + 1 support went up, 2 monks + 1 support went down. Sway went up, Iway went down, Iway went up, and goes up again.

It's challenging to balance 2 skills on 1000+ weight scales.

i want to thank meteor here, he gets it. Look at those numbers closely and realize how impossible of a task true "balance" is in this game. I think Izzy and whoever he works with have done the best they can with an impossible situation.
