Guild Wars 2

Hi, I’m a PvP focused player and this is how i feel about the current state of Gw2

First of all, I honestly enjoyed playing this game but the thing is I was sold a PvP focused game aiming for e-sport, also with a dynamic world for those how want to to PvE.

Dueling is a must have feature on any PvP game so that people can train with friends to learn how to counter a specific professions or builds, something simple (imo) that should have been in game since launch and wasn’t and hasn’t been yet and there is no ETA for it to be implemented… is it really that hard?!

We hear allot of talk from devs saying “you will see” “were doing amazing things” “it will come soon” “we give PvP more impontance that you think” and so on but the PvP in Gw2 got boring really fast due to the same game mode in all maps and because of it, indirectly favoring of bunker build professions not to mention repetitive.

I went from playing 6-8 hours a day to 4-5 hours per week…

I have been reading the forum more regularly lately wile at work and again its all about PvE, some recent Q&A with a dev about events, bosses, instances, storyline, drop tables and so on, again PvE.
Half a year as past and the PvP state of the game is basically the same as it was on launch as for PvE there are world events new poping every ware, one time events, festive events, new instances, new items, new rewards new storylines loads of fluff every ware.
New monthlies and dailies that award lauels are for PvE players only, if a PvP player wants to get any laurels to get gear for WvWvW he is forced to PvE…

PvP hasn’t evolved one bit in half a year on a “supposedly” PvP oriented game and e-sport worthy… a couple of balancing patches and a new sPvP map (Temple of the silent storm) which most ppl skip, orbs were removed from WvWvW (I’m ok with that), nothing else, its very very disappointing.

Is it because PvE players spend more money on the BL trading post that the PvP players?!

So all in all, this game that was advertised as a PvP e-sport oriented game turned out to be just another PvE game were WvWvW orbits around PvE to be competitive, specially since there is only 1 available set of gear from each armor type to get and for most professions it has the wrong stats to they HAVE to PvE to get the gear they NEED to PvP…

I really like the core mechanic of the game with the dodges and the weapon based abilities and all that but it I’m not having fun anymore and it saddens me to find myself playing less and less GW2 each week and spending more time in relatively older MMO’s having a blast…

Is it just me being paranoid or do any of you share these feelings?

Since when GW2 was advertised as a PVP e-sport oriented game? All they said was they aim for their PVP to be e-sport quality but it is still a PVE centric MMORPG. Learn to read bro. If u insists GW2 is advertised as a PVP centric game, kindly link the advertisement.
