Guild Wars 2

This has been bugging me for a while now. The name of this game is GUILD WARS 2. However, we have not seen any sort of Guild vs Guild system in this game. While I understand the difficulty of getting guild members to actually participate in such things, I also feel that these kinds of features would help activity in the guild. Lets be honest…once you have your full exotic/ascended sets and your exotic/ascended/legendary weapons, you are going to be bored. Or at least more bored the usual. Then, people begin to quit and play other games, and guilds get less active. You might say WvWvW is the perfect counter to that. That would be incorrect. Why would you spend time doing something like WvWvW when you could be doing something else? It will always be there. It is not going away. Unless you are an active member of the WvW community, it is difficult to get engaged. Guild vs Guild PvP can counter that. You would be fighting with your guild. And lets be honest. If all your friends are doing something, you will too. In order to prevent GvG from becoming a guild version of WvW, there must be some sort of uniqueness. This is why I propose GvG to be like world events. They only come on at certain times during the day. Guilds could also have a point system. The winning guild will take points away from the losing guild. It is a perfect ranking system. Guilds will have something to measure themselves with. Instead of spamming guild ads of “Join Blah Blah[BLAH]. We do WvW and Dungeons! JOIN PL0X”, we can have guilds try to fight for their new members and increase their reputation. Make it competitive. Make it exciting! After all, who wants to compete against “Enemy Server Raider[BLAH]” 24/7?

1. marketable product franchise name directly implies guild battles
2. first product has guild battles at launch
3. but no, name must come from a barely-mentioned lore event
4. makes perfect sense

Does not matter. The features where well advertised for several years before the game was released. If someone purchased the game without even reading about it on the many sites that reviewed it, then honestly it’s their problem.
As to the topic, been discussed at least once a week since launch. No reason to create another duplicate thread and hash the whole thing out again. Anet knows how the player base feels, so all we can do is wait.

Before launch and during the betas I was closely following any news I could find about gvg (I still occasionally gvg in gw1) and the message has always been “soon”, and here we are 2 years later and that “soon” is starting to look like a “jk, maybe never”
