I tried a game without aoe, it was amazing, there was 100 people but everyone was fighting in 1vs1.
Aoe is the main problem ! No more bus, just lot of fights !
no aoe, better www

It is likely true that AoE will never be completely removed from the game, as the game is built with it being a factor. However, there are things we can look into doing to mitigate the importance of AoE in certain situations. Maybe even something we can do specifically for WvW.
We have a lot going on right now, so I’m not sure when we’d be able to get to it, but we can at least start thinking about our options.
Thanks for the feedback all!

When you’re thinking about it if you tone down the damage from aoe you must increase the single target damage and options for specs like staff ele and staff necro.
This is why we haven’t done anything major to AoE yet. Changing AoE basically means changing the balance of the entire game. :P
