Guild Wars 2

I am not expecting a ton of man hours to go into PVE. I know that the focus is on SPvP and Esports. Also WvW. PVE is the weakest point in the game and you cannot deny the fact that you have nothing to work towards except better looking gear and in most cases, that is up for debate as well.

My suggestion is to think about reworking the style of PVE. do a rework of gear in WvW so that it is balanced but make us work for PVE gear that increases stats. The number ONE reason millions get sucked into WOW is because they are gaining something for their countless hours of grinding. Though it may be small, seeing the damage increase, the damage mitigation, and feeling REAL progression really gives us a sense of accomplishment.

And let’s face it, you tried to create something that doesn’t feel “grindy” and it is still a grind but with less benefit. Capture the PVE base, you will grow your GW community rapidly.

Also, think about legendary items for a second. About how long it takes to make a legendary weapon and what you really get out of it. Looks. The vast majority of players are turned off by legendary weapons because of the lack of feeling like you accomplished anything. I can buy an exotic for 2g and beat the crap out of the guy with a legendary because at the end of the day, I am still better. I know that this is the point, but you have to come up with SOMETHING that makes them worthwhile. giving bonuses for PVE would be just that.

I know you can do it arena net. You guys are freaking amazing. best company in the industry by far and you know it : )
