It's that simple, and unless some drastic changes (or roll-backs) are taken into consideration, then it will remain a scrub-fest.
Do you agree Juniordash?

Amen, I got my rank 9 during the first week of 6v6 and I havent HA since, finito, no more HA.

No more skills, the build wins games not the players pity. I used to love HA, now I GvG and with the paragon nerf gvg should get more interesting again

.

I miss 8v8 HA, 8v8 just needed some balance ah well. RIP 8v8 HA.

This is truly sad, I was hoping that I could retire to HA after getting my skills and finishing the storyline (also with those *** **** heroes) but they are everywhere. Anet's gotta do something about this

Why? I actually predict that the hero teams is going to go down. I see all of the teams running around with 3 or 4 warriors using steady stance, druken blow, desparation blow, and massive fear me spam. I do not see heroes executing this skill sequence properly (who knows I could be wrong). If heroes cannot play these warriors well, then all hero teams will be thoroughly dominated by this new form of iway and players playing hero teams will have no incentive to continue to use heroes.

Getting rank won't get you into high level pvp. Getting connections and building up a friends list will. Heroes will get you rank, but not connections. The only thing rank gets you is a cool flashy emote when you type /rank and a nice title to go under your name. If thats all you want, go ahead and heroway to your hearts conten. But if you want to get into high level pvp, you'll soon learn rank won't cut it. Don't believe me? Go heroway you're rank 9, hell, heroway r12 if you want. You still won't get into high level pvp.

Sure a r9+ pug is generally better than an r0 pug (like you said). But guess what? An r0 friends/guild team is almost always better than a r9+ pug. If you want to get into good group, build up a friends list blah blah blah blah I've said this too many times in other posts tired of repeating ~.~

Well you can manually make them use the skills in the correct order but I doubt most the people playing heroway figured that out yet...

Im not saying heroway to get rank. Im just saying why people take ha seriously.

/agree with Yunas.

Just because you don't have a pretty tiger doesn't mean you're a bad player.

Better to get a sequence they can use and disable those skills that you want to manually cast at the right time, even I worked that one out!

I will probably burn in hell but I’m running a Hero team in HA with a friend and enjoying the challenge, (oh, and I play PVE as well so my soul is certainly damned for all eternity).

I got rank 3 with my guild/PUG’s with my monk then gave up on Halls for quite a while.

Being called ‘a lame build noob team’ by a rank 300’ish guild then them taking 30 minutes to finally take us down does have some satisfaction to it

We are having more success now than we ever did with PUG’s in the past, and as I mentioned, enjoying it!

Did anybody notice the game they are playing is called guildwars?

In guildwars the focus should be on Guild vs guild combat becuase...well.......its called GUILDwars.

the focus in GW was HA so anet have nerfed HA to make you all play GvG...don't you agree GvG should be what people are all into?

tbh i think heroes are kinda cheap in HA but i havn't pvped since the 6 man party nerf so i hardly care. being limited to 6 people bothers me more than heroes.

also i guess anet want to open up the whole fame rank system, so its not a grind which tbh is more in line with what GW is all about. if you people want to be elitist and be better than everybody you should go to Wow and go get to level 60 buy some epic mounts (or whatever they called).

no offence thats just what i think anet is doing...(and for the record i'm also an elitist grinder :P) i guess if we are gonna have any form of grind in GW it should be in GvG the pinacle of the gw experience.

Well, IMHO if they added ranks and emotes into GvG and not HA everyone would be playing GvG. ANets mistake, now they have to deal with it. They can't just come and change something that was there from the start. What if I played HA at my friends house and I bought GW just to play HA and then they change it. I spent all of my money into game which is FORCING me to play something I don't like because they screwed what I liked.
