This sounds nice. Thoughts? (I accidentally posted in the wrong forum earlier…can’t seem to delete it completely)

Last go around, PvP was nearly a wasteland compared to the prior ones. My guess is that it’ll stay that way.

WvW has been bleeding participation for a long time. Skill balance and server balance contribute a lot to that. Nothing they’re releasing hits those to items so I don’t see more than a quick bump in participation for the novelty. The core problems remain.

The rewards might entice some people who haven’t experienced WvW to maybe give it a try. That might infuse some new players, which is a good thing.

The skirmish business…. I know they put up a poll and that was the winner. But, it was like the naming of the new guild, it was the best choice of three mediocre ones. I won’t help balance but it will help rewards, so marginally helpful.

WvW got some attention, so yay for that.

I am excited for the sPvP stuff. Can’t wait.
