GB is lazy, but it's not as egregious because it was a new class. If they were thinking clearly, they would've implemented GB at a much lower level so that players were less invested in the playstyle before it completely changed on them, and so it didn't happen so close the finish line. The only reason I can fathom for them not doing that is they were too lazy to make sure GB would be fun in ARR and synced 50 content. Lazy.

The unforgivable part, though, was when they were looking at BRD and couldn't think of a single better idea to solve their mobility/balancing problem than "well let's just give them GB, too, with a different name". That's lazy af. Like unprecedented levels of lazy for a AAA MMO. I can think of 10 better ideas that solve the same problem without turning the them into a caster.

Just because it happened forever ago doesn't mean we should stop shitting on it and reminding them what a shitty job they did with parts of this expansion.

I don't even play BRD, but somebody fucked up big time on that one and it blows my mind that it even made it past the testing phase.
