Guild Wars 2

how map completion is set up right now

All six cities
All 25 explorable zones except Southsun Cove
All four WvW maps
The Chantry of Secrets

three of the 4 requirements are pure PvE aspects: while WvW is pve its also pvp. Not everyone is willing to jump into PvP. it doesnt help when you run into players from other servers that just want to gut you or troll you if you are trying to get map completion. also unlike normal pvp, you use PvE gear, not the specialized PvP gear so balance is an issue. i’m pretty sure it be easy for a handfull of people just to lurk near a skill challange or other map completion node and then gank people who try to get there. also a good number of points are only accessible if your team has control of the point (example: keeps and towers). now, i do like the idea of WvW but to me its more PvP then PvE and should be counted as such.

it doesnt even fit the lore. on a non-related note, when looking at the map from the PvE maps, the WvW locations were no where to be seen. this is becuase the WvW maps are in the mist. the mist is NOT part of the worlds world but instead inbetween worlds (worlds being PvE servers). the fact that they are not part of the world itself and saying that its needed for world completion is, to me, a contradition of the lore.

recap of reasons why (i think) WvW shouldn’t count towards map completion
1) not fair for people who dont like PvP
2) balance
3) possible farming chance
4) luck dependent on being able to get to the points
5) contraditing of the lore

if WvW has to count towards a world completion: atleast seperate it from the rest of the requirements

The only reason you need 100% completion is for a legendary. A legendary should prove that you have gone everywhere and done everything, including PvP activities.

inb4 “You can buy a legendary from the TP.”

Some people really don’t give a kitten about wielding a legendary. Personally, I think legendary weapons are a not very funny joke on Anet customers. Much work for zero reward. I get that they are selling self esteem but I don’t need it. What I find annoying however, is that as a completionist I WILL NEVER GET A SIMPLE ACHIEVEMENT (MAP COMPLETION) THAT IS 100% PvE NOT PvP because Anet made a dumb decision.
