Guild Wars 2

i play mmo’s for the PvP. i was considering returning to gw2 but the following issue is making me angry.

you don’t get any rewards for doing sPvP. you don’t even get XP from sPvP. if I am not rewarded by putting my time into something then it is pointless.

so all there is left is WvW. that is not enough to make me want to play. i like sPvP, just too bad there is no point to playing it.

They added a way to level via pvp. You can buy scrolls from one of the pvp vendors that will give you 1 (pve) level per scroll.

They are in the process of changing the gear system aswell. Within a relatively short period of time you will be able to obtain gear in pvp that is usable in pve (and vice versa ofc).

I think they also grant some silver after every match too, so that’s an improvement

You should play for fun, not for rewards. If you like to play spvp, do it. Rewards shouldn’t be a motivator to do something.

The “point” is meant to be that it is both competitive and fun (a big emphasis on the “meant” there).

Yes that old in GW1 you had comment from me again.
So here it goes…
In Gw1 you hade balthazar faction that you could use to get some things for. One of them was zaishen keys and that made some of pvp players rich, very rich.

True, but even so it was not even close to the levels of wealth attainable in PvE (z-keys that is, not counting ultra-rare minis and such).

The point of PvP is to win.
Why do you need anything else then that?
Thats the whole idea of facing of against another human in anything, to prove your worth, to show everyone that you are better at said task.

So why would you need XP, Gold anything id you play for PvP.
Ok if you play both PvE and PvP and would like them to work in conjunktion with eachother.

sPvP is like playing SC2, you do it to challenge yourself and prove to others that you are way better then them.

I don’t know what people do pvp in an mmo, it’s never balanced but yet doesn’t stop said people from crying about it.

They’re updating it/changing it. Glory is the main thing in PvP atm, they plan to remove that on March 18 .. so it should be better, however you can use that glory for leveling and such, so it’s not a big deal. Rewards are just different.

There shouldnt be big pvp rewards, as said earlier being dominant over another human is its own reward and the entire point of pvp…. that being said I would support looting if it actually took stuff or gold from the other player and didnt magically manufacture it out of nowhere… THAT would make pvp worth playing
