more grind/nerfs/etc?

[danbuter]

I like gw2, a lot. However, it seems that every single patch they nerf classes, don't fix/upgrade bad classes, and add more grind. It seems every month the stuff you could get is getting even harder to acquire. It started with the massive price hikes on racial gear and now we have dailies and laurels and such. Is it just me or have the devs lost sight of their initial goal?

It is getting a bit frustrating to me, at least.
