Some thoughs of mine:
* The more information released by ANet the better, get out of the politician role and show some guts. You're moving in the right direction, thanks!
* Pet control, finally, much appreciated by some PvE players and I guess and of course IWAY, who get to sacrifice the pet easier?
* Good balances with the Paragon, although, it's my opinion that ANet is mostly doing the one type of changes that people hate, reductions. Please balance those 60% of the skills we never use and you're see a live and creative community.

Thanks for the updates Gaile, it's most appreciated.
Minipets roaring in towns, great. I'll be sticking even more to the smaller, less populated towns. I really feel sorry for those on slow connections as seeing minipets in addition to the population already there will tax their connections and make the game run slower.

First, thanks to Gaile and the devs. The stuff in the works sounds incredible, the stuff that's coming witht he new build, at the very least interesting, and the fact that you include the community in the process, even to the point of explaining why you decided to make certain changes, is just unbelievably great of you.
There are still a few things that the community has been waiting for, including the spearmarshal title, improved trade system, and possibly improving the acquisition of the only Ritualist hero in the game. i hope you find the time to comment on those sometime soon.
Pet controls? I immediately told one of my friends about that, one of the thigns I've been wanting to see forever! Log out to character select? a minor chance, but something that is just nice to have, and convenient when we're swapping things from our mules. I really want to see what's up your sleeve for making mesmers more effective in PvE (Killing the "half hex duration" special was a good start, but double damage/half casting time is brutal) and I'm even optimistic about the review of bow attacks- I have a feeling there will be more buffs than nerfs coming out of that one.

This gos half way to making a town seem more of a communtiy and less of a Ghost town imo. |

Paragons are (or should I say "were") balanced when there were only 1-2 in a group. The problem with Paragons is that they are only degenerate when there are 5-6 in a group. Limiting to 3 per class per group in PvP would fix that easily without completely breaking a class for all other types of gameplay. |

THNX for the changes ... those little things make game more and more beautiful.
Still, I have one suggestion
.... maybe instead nerfing and nerfing skills you could buff the others ... PvP in GW eat sooo much time and some of us are already workers, students etc 
... buffing skills would make games faster
Anyway, thnx for great job GW is one of the most relaxing games for me
Good luck with further changes

That said, I rather like the idea. Or at least the idea of limiting the amount of a certain skill across the entire party. (Limiting classes would be easier most likely) It would force people to either think about more skillful ways to play then just spiking one target after another or just barraging things to death. Granted, people would whine, but I compare Guild Wars often to Magic: the Gathering in its functions. Card games always have limits on the amount of cards in a deck that are allowable to prevent exploitation. As things stand now, stacking skills or classes leads to exploitation in ways that could easily be fixed like in those card games.[ This, in turn, would reduce all the analyzing and balancing Anet currently has the invest time in. This would then free up more dev time for other features. Thanks for the updates, Anet. I look forward to another festival and other features. |
GW and Magic are totally different. With your annalogies I could say that profession being the house color that you play in Magic and I dont recall they're limiting how many color per deck. Plus Magic failed at balancing their cards also, that's why they divide the cards into blocks. Even so there still exist overpowered cards and strategies.
