It has been quite obvious time and time again that the devs are not actually "hardcore" gamers of their game. Taht might mean they lack a certian bit of insight in some departments, but i honestly dont think its a bad thing. In the end its their free time and I can imagine it to be quite bland to spent most of my day with only one game, be it desiging or playing it.

Additionally, if you really think those 4 devs are the only ones playing their game and that there are no dragonknight represented in their roster whatsoever you are delluding yourself. In fact we have seen quite some footage of devs playing DKs (and all other classes), even in the days of closed beta. I personally recall a group of devs taking down a dolmen, with a DK pyromancer taking a decent chunk of the spotlight.

I take it you believe DKs will be underpowered with IC and that the sky is falling because of all these incompetent devs deciding the worst crap ever, but in the end most of the balance talk about IC atm is really only talk. With battle spirit mostly (entirely ?) fixed there really dont seem to be that many issues between the classes in my opinion. Of course there will be stronger and weaker classes (and builds/speccs), but nothing can really be said about that yet.

Ha ha, wait a minute, so they both totally know what the meta is by playing all ranged, but they also have no clue what's going on because one of them is using Brawler? Your message appears a little contradictory. ;-)

I'm sure they're just simultaneously having some fun and showing folks that they do in fact play the game. Just because they play, however, doesn't mean they're trying to make the most competitive builds and pwn the nubs.
