Did my pve daily today, got my laurel, cool. Saw that there was a pvp daily and was excited. Finally! I can run content I actually wanna run and progress my character as well! Wrong!
I did my pvp daily and got no laurel.
This is the most basic problem of this game. Certain players are rewarded for running certain content, certain players (most expecially pvp’ers) are not rewarded for playing the content they want.
It seems like this game has been created by people “who are casuals who play dps classes and hate pvp, and want to log on every other friday and run pvp and not worry about some dude having better gear than them”. – If they played a little more, they would have the gear, not hard. Every player should be rewarded and be able to “progress” wether they love to play pvp or pve, craft, fish or what have you.
This game is all about “discrimination” and “restriction”. Sad but true. PVE’ers are rewarded with expereice, items, karma, etc etc. Pvp’ers, most especially sPVP’ers, are rewarded with nothing. No exp, no gear, nothing, unlike every other mmo out there. Massive grind for a style i cant even wear outside the mists? Get real!
I take it personal, I hear the arguments and I understand one thing – “you dont like me cause I play the game different than you”. Thats what it all amounts to. I think EVERY player should be rewarded and be able to progress, without playstyle discrimination. I think the styles you earn, wether in pve, dungeon, karma, or spvp should be able to be worn anywhere. Yes, that guy who’s first place in the tournament is just as cool as you first time pve dungeon runners.
“But pvp is fun, you dont need gear”. Um…there are few maps and its all domination – please, spare me the arguement.
All other MMO’s out there have slowly begun to recognize that to have a massive player base and be successful, they have had to have content for ALL types of players and reward them for what they want to run. This is the real basic ideal of a successful mmo. Dont beleive me? Remove PVE rewards for all the excuses you will post about, or just let the game die as it may.
