Guild Wars 2

Can anything in PvE give you an advantage in PvP. Also, is the game mainly about PvP or PvE. Given the size of the map in PvE, I would guess it’s quite PvE focused.

I assume you mean sPvP and not WvW. No, they are completely separated. You can’t bring any consumables or gear to sPvP. PvP has its own gear (top of UI while in the PvP lobby). The game is more oriented towards PvE than sPvP. A lot more players doing that.

WvW: you use your regular gear in there and most, but not all, consumables, such as food. A fair number of people play it, but I couldn’t tell you the numbers. Probably less than in PvE.

So I am assuming that PvE is the most played, then PvP and last WvW

Balance changes are focused on PvP. The game is mainly about whichever game mode you chose to play. PvP is specifically designed to be an even playing field, so no PvE grinding/etc. is going to get you an advantage there.

I would say PvE, WvW then PvP, but it’s hard to tell since you can’t see the people who are actively playing PvP.

I’d say wvw over pvp, just because it’s more massive and much easier to get into than pvp.

PvE >>> WvW > PvP

In my experience. Of course all design decisions and balance changes are made on the sole basis of PvP. Which makes no sense, but ESPORTS!>?!?!?!/1
