lack of Guard fixes in LU19 foreshadowing?

[darkjb69]

<div>Anyone get the feeling that the Empir... I mean SOE might just do away with Guards altogether? No fixes or tweaks good or bad in the last major update might be a sign that they've plain given up on us?  Perhaps they might pull a SWG and simply remove our class completely?</div>

[Witl_Wog]

<div></div>Yes, and they are also going to punch your kitten in the face.

<div></div><p>I don't think I'd like  that very much.  My kittens are my babies.   Perhaps I better stop inviting SOE to my house for dinner then.</p><p>In all seriousness - does anyone think that removing Guards is beyond SOE?  Look what they just did in SWG removing entire professions to make the game more exciting.  What's to stop them from simply saying:</p><p>Well, Guardians are a pain in the [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn].  They whine all day about this and that.  It's not helping us sell more copies of the game so let's uh.. let's just remove the class altogether and wash our hands of the whole affair. It worked in SWG.</p>

I'm about 99.99% sure that that won't happen.<div></div>

<div></div><p>I was 100% sure, back in the 60s, that Disco would never die.</p><p>Funny how things work out that way.</p><p>(j/k, i wasn't even alive in the 60s.)</p>

<div></div><p>I guess the rumor is you can betray and select zerker, so all you need is about 15 plat or 15 rares - switch over make your spells scrib them and sony has elminated a population.</p><p>If this is true, I am pretty sure alot of guardians that are not raid main's will be changing out to zerker type roles.</p><p>So basicly what is to stop them from saying... oh nobody wants to be a guard anymore so in LU## Guardain and Zerkers are no more, Welcome the Warrior Class?</p>

<div></div>I think they will keep us around for show but I think the new AA system shows that the diffrences between the good and evil version are going to become less and less. They were a bad idea to begin with since one always worked out to be better then the other in most cases.
