Guild Wars 2

I’m sure i’m not the only one that hates the pvp options in this game.

Let’s start with wvw because it’s utter garbage for anyone that actually wants to pvp

1. There has been zero attempt to balance classes
2. There’s random pve elements for some reason
3. the maps are massive, which means it takes upwards of 15 min to find someone to fight. if you don’t play a class that can perma swift this is even worse.
4. Most pvp takes place at towers, which i don’t count as pvp at all.
5. because most pvp takes place at towers and the maps are so kitten big zerging is the most effective strategy. very few people run around alone.
6. When you finally manage to get into a fight after 15 min of zerg dodging and empty map and you die you have to repeat the whole thing again.

spvp is slightly better i guess, but still terrible. at least there’s been some effort to try and balance stuff, but if you don’t want to capture points there’s nothing here for you. i suppose you could get a private session and do it that way, but let’s be honest, we shouldn’t need to pay for that and it’s a hassle all around.

what this game needs is a pvp arena outside the cities where people can fight each other. pretty much every single game with pvp has these and there’s a reason for it.

Just make a big empty space that flags you when you enter so people can enjoy some real pvp and test builds etc… without any dumb objectives, zergs, etc… getting in the way. you don’t even need to put the spvp balance in there, just keep the pve balance.
