Guild Wars 2

Just going to post this here:

I have a few suggestions for making WvW a truly competitive element of the game:

[SUGGESTION]
Seperate WvW from PvE:

• Delete all PvE gear in WvW:
  - One armour tier, and the choice of one free starter set [PER CHAR] of the stats you want. Gain new stats through playing WvW (badges).
  - One weapon tier, and the choice of up to 4 free starter weapons [PER CHAR] of the stats you want. Gain new stats through player WvW (badges).
  - Runes and sigils: ‘unlock’ through badges (one-time buy, eternal use after).

• Skills and traits: Accessible for free.

• Uplevels and max levels:
  - Make everyone the same level and strength (no difference between uplevel and level 80).
  - Everyone has same stat tier available from the start.

• Armour and weapon skins:
  - All the armour skins you have in PvE can be stored in WvW locker and collected for a small fee (comparable to trait refunds).
  - Any new skins can also be unlocked through badges if you don’t have them in PvE.
  - Skins are account-bound, not soul-bound and available for unlimited use after unlocking.

[SOLUTION]
1- Ascended gear: don’t bother about it anymore.
2- Alt-friendly.
3- Still provides a goal, but disables power creep.
4- Balance between players.
5- Class balance in WvW is now split off from PvE and can be monitored more easily.

Isn’t that what we have sPvP for?

lol is this from the “remove ascended from WvW” thread?

“Delete all PvE gear in WvW.”

F’n terrible idea this is!

This is one of the HUGE REASONs Warhammer Online failed.

People got tired of the never ending grind to try and get better gear because having better gear meant you would be more able to compete. The players that don’t have a lot of time to sink into the game are the ones that get penalized for this type of armor setup.

If GW2 went this route, I would end up leaving Gw2, that is for sure.

ZERO interest in having to grind for gear in WvW…I just wanna play and enjoy the game.
