Guild Wars 2

One of the BEST experiences of my mmo/gaming life was entering Hillsbrad for the first time and the excitement/tension of seeing a red name. Oh, the fun that ensued. IMO nothing can match the spontaneity of the fun/excitement to be had from world pvp.

With such a big and beautiful persistent world, it’s a shame that there is no world pvp in GW2. Especially due to a mostly very good class balance and quite a few of the game mechanics which are very “world pvp friendly”.

1. With auto level balancing, griefing won’t be as big an issue.

2. Even if world completion was limited to your own faction’s POIs, 100% world completion or getting all the skill points would encourage you to get out there and enter dangerous areas.

3. Events would be tricky if the opposition faction suddenly showed up. But that just means: a. Get numbers (guilds would be actually useful). b. Be better prepared.

4. Population balances are fairly simple to control.

5. If you don’t like suddenly being wtfpwnd, REROLL PVE.

Ofcourse world pvp is a pain in thekittento implement (factions etc) and will never be implemented, but can’t help the feeling that the game would have been buckets more fun with world pvp.

Fun for yourself you mean.

For those people that really enjoy doing pvp. Just do a 5v5 PVP match or even join a World vs. World match.

Really no reason to include PVP in normal PVE area’s Gendarran Fields and the others. I also don’t see the reason to have both PVP and PVE type servers like many other games have.

Having PVP matches and World vs. World matches is good enough. I for one don’t want to worry about getting ganked by full group. Should I be leveling in Gndarran Fields or where ever.

Considering none of the races are enemies, it doesn’t work

Though personally i like open world pvp
