Guild Wars 2

Ok, so we’ve all seen these types of posts before.. where people rage on how GW2 doesn’t have "end game".. yada yada yada..

*However!*

Something else that also keeps popping up, is how an online game can NOT be sustained by focusing on nothing else to do but PvP.

So.. lol, I felt the need to address this and ofcourse offer up some *"kudos" to ANet* as well as *"enlighten" those that cannot see past their bias*.

PvP doesn’t "sustain games"???

lol, guess you’ve never played a single DotA styled game or even an arena shooter like Team Fortress 2? :P

PvP keeps people playing and is one of the BEST mechanics/game modes to cater to a "cosmetic" cash shop.

**IE: League Skins + Valve Hats.

*Counter argument::*

Those games were both built for PVP.

Reguardless of how you feel about it doing something for other games, you need to recognize that fact.

*Conclusion*

Soo.... Guild Wars 2 wasn’t designed around PvP?

wow, so I guess World Vs World Vs World.. or ya know sPvP are all just "tacked on".

I mean, who puts in mechanics that auto-level you to max.. just so PvP is more skill based.. it’s almost like they were trying to balance things out for the MMO crowd..

/sarcasm.

In all seriousness tho.. Guild Wars 2 IS designed around PvP and cosmetics work extremely well in that environment/mode type.

So really.. I think the only ones that aren’t able to "recognize the facts" are bias WoW/TSW/InsertCloneHere fanboys.

Sorry you can’t stand that GW2 is very well thought out or that their end game isn’t as focused as much on the "carrot on stick" gear treadmill as your MMO of choice.. but at the end of the day, can you REALLY be upset that GW2 is doing well?

It gives us players wanting something different a place to go.. IE: if we wanted raids, gear grinds and/or the trinity ~ then we would be playing WoW/TSW/InsertCloneHere MMO instead of GW2.

#To each their own.

So you maybe asking yourself.. *WHY is this topic on the "Suggestions" forum?*

Well, to be honest.. I’d like to make this a "sticky" topic for the forums via::

1. People that come here to rage/troll the PvP (end game).
2. Attempt to localize and remove the constant "spam" of the same types of topics being re-created everyday due to lack of use of the search function.
3. Ask the community to help ANet fill their cash shop with unique cosmetic ideas *(beyond barber, clothes, ect) as well as open the floor for people that understand this topic to "suggest" more features and/or mechanics that can be used in conjunction with sPvP and WvWvW *(improve them).

*SO, based on the above statements/objectives of this topic.. I’d like ta say Kudos to ANet and of course.. open the floor to the communities ideas.
