Guild Wars 2

I’m here to PvP, not to do PvE so that I can PvP. Right now if I want to PvP properly I must PvE first to obtain a horde of cash to purchase upgrades. What’s the reasoning behind this? It doesn’t make sense. WvW purchases should be paid from currency obtained through activities within WvW itself. I’m being forced to engage in huge battles to loot players so that I can get loot to sell and get coin for PvP upgrades (lolwhat?) or farm PvE NPCs within WvW so that I can get loot to sell and get coin for PvP upgrades (loldoublewhat?) — this doesn’t make any sense. You are forcing us to do PvE in order to do PvP. It’s either that or buy gold from farmers — no fun at all.

There are lots of gathering nodes in WvW. Have you tried using those to fund your PVP?

There are also lots of dynamic events in PVP, as long as you fight at an objective instead of in the middle of nowhere. Defending or attacking both provide rewards even if you don’t manage to take or keep your objective. While the money from these events isn’t huge, when I’ve played WvW it’s been enough for me to at least break even. The daily jump puzzle also gives you some rewards, though I don’t remember how easy those are to monetize.

For pure PvP we have sPvP. WvW is something in between.
