Guild Wars releases preliminary skill update notes

No, they are not nerfing Shadow Form. Yet. But Guild Wars community manager Regina Buenaobra released a preview of some skill updates and updated GvG restrictions that are coming. Since they'll be released shortly before a Monthly Automated Tournament, and affect PvP heavily, the preview is being offered to give players a chance to plan for the changes. Regina does note, however, that these are preliminary notes, and subject to change.

So what about the rest of the promised skill update? Regina says "While we continue a larger playbalance project that includes drastic changes to Shadow Form, we believe it is important to release a small skill balance to address a few other pressing issues" So the project is still underway, and Shadow Form is still in the crosshairs. (You can either be glad of that, or farm even faster while you still can, depending on your point of view on the entire issue.)

We'll continue watching for further information on the update.

Oh Shadow Form, the love/hate relationship continues.

I wonder if they a regretting ever having put that skill in the game, after all the drama it's caused.

And again, the entire GW community has been upset for a patch that, in the end, will not nerf Shadow Form. I wish Anet just got over with it and hit the Assassins with the Nerf Hammer already (don't forget you'll need Hammer Mastery on 15 to correctly nerf Shadow Form).
