Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed a sharp decline in sPVP as of late. Much longer queues, no one (at least on my server) in sPVP, and just overall lack of players. Anet has also said they wanted sPVP to be an eSports kind of thing, which is not very much the case at the moment.

My suggestion to fix most of these problems, have sPVP go free to play, not buy to play. There are so many eSports games out there that are free to play so why pick guildwars over any other? Guildwars blows away any game out on the market right now, graphicly, gameplay wise, balance….. is almost there, but no one knows about it.

The cons:

-Well.. you’d lose the purchases on people that just want to play sPVP.
-You’d also have to deal with the backend issue of a huge influx of new players.

The pros:

-Think of it like a trial version of GW2. People play the sPVP, and end up loving the combat and style of the game, so the decide to purchase it and play all the content.
-eSports would be possible with a much bigger population.
-A lot more arena token purchases on the gem store.

Just something I thought of and figured I’d write a post about. I think it’s something that should be considered, seeing as how sPVP is on life support as it seems (from my perspective anyway)

I could live with that.

Yes it can be nice what is more add option to do character on “Only pvp mode” like in Guild Wars 1 have it . But I think this people who will be playing on free wont do daily for laurels, in case of farming them before buy.

You simply give the client limited functionality. So things like:

• No Dailies
• No access to PvE / WvW content
• No TP access

That sort of thing.

of course. Something like that isn’t out of the question. I do think they should access to the Black Lion trading company though, for the purposes of gem store items. F2P players could buy time for arenas, and potentially make Anet a ton of cash.
