What is wrong with these people??
I can't believe they got rid of clay bricks. They wern't hurting anyone. I liked seeing them being listed even though they had no purpose. They could have made a use for them that would have been better. This game gets worse every day.71.248.239.118 12:31, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Are you serious or is this a quick jab at people that blow things way out of proportion? The game is worse because Clay Bricks are no longer listed in Material Crafter inventories. Something that had absolutely no impact in the game. Really? Breakfast Mc Ritual 12:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Unless anet were planning on introducing housing to GW, they were useless. What other use could a Clay Brick have? Some sort of wierd mud armour for Rangers or a Face Paint (although norn's already got that)? Better to take them out of game and free up some space (even if it is a tiny fraction of space). If your getting annoyed over some silly block of mud getting taken out of the game, maybe this isn't the game for you and other games are []  ∞ ∞ IPO ∞ ∞  12:45, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh sure, my gaming experience is hurt badly because of this. Now I can't do any ...hmm, no..PVE-ers do have a disadvantage because of...nope...Rich people get richer by using clay bricks as....hmm...no! my 31337 build based on clay bricks will not work anymore ! C'mon people..is it *so hard* not to complain about every little thing Anet does ? They just cleaned up a loose end, thats all.

 * He was being serious in proving that "give players something to complain about, and they will rip your heart out, even if it's pointless." I think Anet did it on purpose just to see if people really will complain about it, and guess what? They did! BWAHAHA!  RoseOfKali [[Image:RoseOfKaliSIG.jpg]] 17:51, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I can feel the OP's pain. It's a nostalgia thing.  That loose end was just one of the little quirks that were around from the beginning, and it's strange that it's not there anymore.  Big deal?  No.  It's still a little sad though.  RIP Clay Bricks.  We hardly knew ye. Tara Shikaron 21:37, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps in a later update they'll remove windows too, that way you wont need the clay brick. =P
 * Most Update Whiners have a huge problem, they don't post their whining in GWW cause they fear Anet's divine wrath, but when they do it here, we reject them.[[Image:Ereanorsign.jpg]]reanor 03:49, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Haha! I love the people who post saying they fear A-net's wrath when they're being critical, or alternately, that someone is brown-nosing when they're supportive.  Seriously, are you really that delusional that you think they know or care one way or another?  "Oh dear, X Death To All X, one of the millions of people who've bought our game, said something mean/nice/whatever!"  Yeah.  Honestly, some people have seriously over-inflated opinions of themselves.  Being one in a million means you're opinion counts for about a millionth of what opinions are normally worth (and that's not much to begin with).  But endless streams of users overrate their personal importance by astronomical proportions...  always makes me laugh.  --66.216.249.255 06:53, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

 * The only problem with the clay brick thing is that "why work on something like this?" It doesn't really matter and I think there's better things for them to manage.Math Person 20:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, i like to do things right, you know the type of people that have to have everything on its place? If you were a programmer you'd want to get rid of as much bugs as possible. Also, in GW2 they should reintroduce bricks as elite crafting mat for building castles. --Rotfl Mao 21:57, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Trivia: "Obsidian is a very dark, naturally occuring volcanic glass. Like most glasses, it is fairly hard and capable of taking and holding a razor edge, but is brittle." Yeah, I think I'll stick with some other material. Enjoy your 64-trillion-plat brittle castle. By building it with ob shards you should be done in a couple hundred years. XD! Mine will be made out of Deldrimor Steel, for one hell of a tough arsed castle. -[[Image:MAL wiki sig.PNG]] 21:13, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

The issue is that Anet is taking content away from a game that already has nothing to look foward to other than a few "balance" issues from someone who doesn't even play the game anymore. There were clay bricks there, so Anet should have done something with them rather than taking them away. Mgrinshpon 19:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Buffs!
Too all that constantly wine about A-net using the nerfbat, I say this; eh... shut up? 193.91.164.176 21:58, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Some of the "buffs" weren't that big of a deal. Still were a few nerfs in there anyways. --NYC Elite 03:03, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * What's up with you? It's because ANet split the database in PvE and PvP, just recently, that made this possible. The whines and complains most likely caused that the first place. So you should thank those whiners ^^ If no one complains nothing gets changed. BTW, wine is the stuff you drink :P SCNR --Birchwooda Treehug 08:11, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Alteration to Strength of Honor
Seriously? Couldn't you have used those resources to alter a different skill? Why the hell does this have a recharge now? Its a maintained enchantment! The only way this would present a problem is if it gets removed before it finished recharging! Personally, I've never seen anyone except me and a very small handful of others even use SoH (because we know how ta make it dance)... Once again, ANet does something that has almost no point. talk 22:04, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm still in the mood for more ranger skill buffs and not unnecessary stuff. --<font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="red">Hel <font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="yellow">llb <font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="green">rin <font face="vivaldi" size="3" color="black">ger 22:05, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you should play some more PvP, RH. Meta for the last few weeks has involved using a smiting mes to hold SoH on several players, particularly dervishes, for loads of damage. With a recharge, you can mirror it off those players, and it won't be back up for a while. Lord of all tyria 22:08, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You have to understand, RH is omniscient. If he doesn't see the point of something, it must be that it "has no point".  It can't simply be that he doesn't see it.  :p  "Once again", he doesn't understand the reason why ANet did something, therefore, it must be that ANet is stupid.  There's no other conceivable reason why he wouldn't understand what they did, is there?  ;)  --68.112.114.156 02:44, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, sarcasm aside, it might be that all I really play is AB, which is about as disorganized as RA. Can't be bothered with halls (don't have a single fame to my name), and I simply prefer AB over TA.  I can see having a mez maintain SoH on melee peeps, kinda makes me wonder why I didn't think of it, lol.  And for the anon, I'm not just omniscient, I'm also clairsentient, telepathic, telekinetic, and have the amazing power to animate masses of bricks.  [[Image:RHSig.jpg]] talk 06:22, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * To be more precise, it's this Mesmer. Coupled with 3 Dervishes with Conjures it creates big damage. It is (was?) the HA/GvG meta. Having recharge will make it harder to re-apply and more prone to enchantment removal, while not breaking the skill itself. (Though the build is a lot weaker also thanks to the Mantra nerf) &mdash; Poki#3 [[Image:Poki.jpg|19px|My Talk Page :o]], 08:04, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

List of Skill-change-history
Not exactly related to the recent changes but I've always been wondering if there's a place in this wiki where skill changes get tracked. I'd like to see a history of a certain skill to see how it got changed over the years. Is there such a place here? BTW comparing the versions of a skill doesn't do it as their descriptions get changed somewhere else (which I didn't figure out yet where). --Birchwooda Treehug 08:15, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The skill templates is where they get changed, and you can compare histories like that. Above the little info box for the skill is a spot that says "Edit Skill Details". Also, you could go to the Template:Skill Name to find the history there. &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  08:20, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Great....
its fucking awesome how they will Buff skills that nobody uses - such as the 'cant touch this' skill for para - ive never seen it used in since NF got released & yet they think its ok to buff it when people dont use it??????

they have buffed a skills for a lot of classes but how about assassin skills? we've already been nurfed to fuck & even since you divided PvP & PvE skills you still havent done fuck all about it - I dunno weather to take it as a good thing they havent done anything or a bad thing which means they may have another nurf planned - or do they secrety spectate in our PvP & laugh as we die horribly with skills they nurfed to fuck?

90% of classes got buffed - wheres ours???

 * Well yes, the skills that need to be made stronger are precisely the ones that don't get used, that is, the ones that are too weak to begin with. And if you're complaining about assassins, surely you've heard about Shadow Form now being so easy to make essentially permanent.  Quizzical 22:38, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Rangers have great builds right now, between burning arrow, magebane, etc, etc. Assassins have one or so "real builds" and the rest are very gimicy and rely on another class. Assassins are the class most in need of a buff at present. (From a PvP perspective) &mdash; Powersurge360 Violencia  22:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
