Guild Wars 2

The way the Monthly Achievements are currently set up means that a number of players will never be able to complete the Monthly Achievements. It has a PvP related achievement, and many for various reasons never have and never will participate in PvP. I realize that WvWvW is a big part of GW2 to many, and Anet would love to see as many as possible participate, but it just is out of the question for some. In some ways the Monthly Achievements are also unfair to those who only have an interest in PvP and not PvE. Salvage, Events and other items may seem just a waste of time for those dedicated only to PvP. Why not make two separate Monthly Achievement chains? One dedicated to PvP one to PvE. This would make more sense in light of the addition of Liquid Karma into the rewards for completion. Then it would be truly open to everyone.

Salvage, events and kill variety can all be done in WvW easily (easier that in PvE sometimes).

As for monthly killings do know that you do not have to actually kill other players in WvW you only need to tag them just like in PvE.

I don’t enjoy PvP too much either but have easily gotten my monthly in a couple of WvW sesion simply by following the largest zerg I can find and using ranged weapons (if you have some AoE skills even better) or better yet defend a keep that is being contested just get on a wall and start shooting,

To keep repairs cost minimal use a lower level armor… having higher level armor gives you and edge only if you are good at PvP otherwise it just give an extra couple of seconds that probably wont help you too much, do use the most damaging ranged weapon you can afford and always stay behind the zerg… if the zerg starts to break down run for your life.

The issue lies in the fact for personal reasons there are those who don’t or won’t want to do PKing. Yes in relation to the overall number of players who do PK it is relatively small, but still it is there. Why should a player have to comprimise a personal stance for a reward?

I agree with this. Nothing I hate more than having to go into WvW to get ganked over and over trying to get the monthly kills. And before you say, just join a zerg, I’ll point out that the server i’m on has had a bad habit of being on the receiving end of rival servers being loaded up with high-ranking guilds transferring in to run rampant on our lower ranked server. So it’s hard to zerg when you’re pinned against your own start spawn.
