Guild Wars 2

As someone who plays on a server that consistently gets demolished in WvWvW (Eredon Terrace), I find that the most frustrating thing in the game is that 100% map completion is basically impossible to obtain without ditching my server. I feel that map/world completion should be a personal achievement (hence the title it gives you to make you special :p) not an achievement for the entire server. I see absolutely no reason for WvWvW being included in map completion, given its stark difference from the PvE world and the fact that other PvP areas aren’t included either. All this aspect of map completion does is make me feel penalized for my initial server choice.

I totally agree, map completion should really be a personal accomplishment and not factor into server dominance in WvWvW just to finish the map. I understand that map completion is only really necessary for completing a legendary but on certain servers like our own on Eredon terrace, legendary weapon crafting isn’t far from being impossible due to the current state of WvWvW. I’d much prefer if map completion actually included the dungeons instead since then it’s a smaller fail rate then relying on the servers WvWvW performance.

they added wvw map completion in hopes of making a player who wouldn’t otherwise participate in pvp come and participate.

obviously, that doesn’t help anyone – people who don’t pvp still won’t do it. they’ll just stop by to get points of interest and and will never be back again.

I don’t think it shouldn’t matter, but it should not be linkedto PvE completion in any way.

The WvW maps are in the Mists, outside Tyria, and having things like the map competio brings to WvW people who doesn’t want to go. You don’t even need that so they give it a chance and they end up staying.

There’s even more people who only wants the exploration points and couldn’t care less about WvW itself.

Rewards for WvW and PvE should be separate. Like alternate ways to get and do stuff, without mingling like they do now.

I agree. I am currently running through trying to just get all of these without bothering much to participate. This is not my cup of tea and I should not be “forced” to go through WvWvW maps to get a standard single player achievement such as this.

Agreed. Screw WVWVW. Whoever at Anet decided it was a good idea needs to be fired. This was a terrible idea, and the only PVP I ever participate in is arenas. So sick of this stupid world completion crap, I’ve pretty much ragequit GW2. Also meaning that Anet has just forfitted money I was going to spend on future gems. -.-
