Guild Wars 2

So…. I’m a PvP kind of guy, never loved lvl-ing up or PvEing…. 90% of the 6+ years I spent playing WoW I PvPed.

HOWEVER I’m not PvPing in GW2, now why would that be?

Well first of all they got the lvl-ing part right as far as I’m concerned and I actually loved it so getting to max lvl was a good experience.(But why would you lvl up in a game that makes you max lvl for PvP?? -> I don’t know… brainwashed by wow / wanting to see the story, doesn’t matter… I did and it was good).

Now for the actual barrier for me: I AM NOT ABLE TO USE MY HARD EARNED PVE SKINS IN PVP!!! Yeah.. I don’t care if that makes sense to you or not but with the pvp skin reward system being the kitten lottery that it is I just can’t seem to get myself motivated enough to grind through all the crap and misery while being dressed in that god awful starter armor skin -> HIDEOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As the PvP Guy you are, you should know that PvP is for competition and not esthetics. Actually nobody cares about rank either in this game nor for you gear. Seems like WoW showed you the exact false way why someone should play PvP.

I don’t think that asking to look good while PvPing is too much…. it’s quite sensible really…
If your char was wearing a trashcan and plastic bag shoes while PvPing would you enjoy it?

To get a good gear in PvE is too easy compared to PvP. Take the example of the Flame-Legion-Armor. Do some CoF’s p1 and you have it in 2-3 days max.
In PvP on the other hand you have to reach r50 first, which takes months. All this would become useless just because some PvE’ers join PvP with their gear made in a week.
Besides that I don’t care really how I look.
