I don't see why they have to close the " Mercenary Mode" thread, its open discussion let people talk about it. I am strongly against Mercenary Mode, but even if they add it to the game it will have no effect on game mechanics and gameplay, so i don't care that much about it. If you are so concerned about BG queue times, then you should advocate for Mercenary Mode not Racial or Trinket changes.
Buffing PVP is not that small of a deal. R2 team in 2s right now have x2 NELFs, they will get great benefit from this buffed PVP trinkets. And what stop you tomorrow saying " now we need to change the proffesions" ?
But i don't agree that Human racial is a huge issue. Its actually no issue at all, if anything its the biggest reason server have 50/50 faction ration.
The game is not perfectly balanced and its not suppose to be. There is plenty of other expansions that are way more balanced, but people chose to play this one, stop trying to change it. If we start reworking items and racial where do we stop exactly? Take GS bracket for example, they added it to the game and now i see people asking to add it to the arena as well because its unfair to play against higher geared players and its not balanced.
