Guild Wars 2

I want Guild Wars, I am sorry I want Guild Battles. PvP is currently being revamped, so maybe this is to little to late. I hear very little argument that GVG (Guild vs Guild) would be a bad thing, and hear many people ask for it. So why do we not have it?
Proposal
Guild verse Guild Battles – two guilds fight, across all servers or within server (ladder for both please) in teams of 20, on large scale maps that go until no one left standing, no respawn but you may be revived. No capture points, but maps that give certain advantages within maps that give incentive to make first move. (Such as buff in middle, weapon, etc.). Guilds with a ‘home field advantage’ will select the map (perhaps one guild is good at or practiced on bringing back the feeling you got from having guild hall map to practice on in GW1, not going to get into guild halls whole other topic.) . For winning said Guild Battle guild will not only move up ladder ranks, but be rewarded with Guild Influence and or Money to guild hall. Lastly I wanted to touch on gear, since this is not sPVP I would not mind if it was not using the PVP gear (Which will be outdated soon anyways) in fact having unbalanced hard earned gear may give guilds a lot more pride and work harder at recruiting good fighters, then again since it is laddered using the “fair” gear as some call it would be totally understandable and more ANets style which I support both.
Benefit
Player Happiness, Guild Cohesion (Building stronger guild communities for PVP players that will cross over positively with PVE players) , more PVP options without changing or taking away from sPVP.
Cons
Possibly take away from WvWvW and sPvP, now I know I said it would not take anything from spvp, it would not change it or force anything different from it, but if GvG is as big as a hit as most people assume it would be less people would play sPvP and WvWvW for a while. I think it would balance back out eventually though.
Possibly force PVE – PVP guilds – Although on some levels this already exist, yes have Guild Battles would have many guilds only recruiting people for guild battles.
Request
Answer to why we do not have GvG and what can we do to show this is something the players really want?

I know I know, stop living in the past. It seems the two biggest arguments to this are “sPVP is GB” and the infamous “WvW is for that…” Now for the first Argument, SPVP for tourney is random and not always vs guilds as much as teams of 5. Although some pride can be taken, you’re not repping a guild or building points for your guild on a ladder of some sort, or playing top teams of top guilds, so I do not accept the SPVP is GvG, as far as challenging a guild you could go to a custom arena but we all know it is not the same, although that is still possible a conquest map is not a guild BATTLE. I hardly feel like I even need to mention the second argument but since it has come up a lot, WvWvW is mass zergs fighting not a set up fight between guilds, also obviously it is guilds from other servers. I love WvWvW for what it is and would never take it out but it is not GvG. Now two quotes that upset most people…
“The question was asked about the lack of GvG. Jon Peters said, “ if players wanted GvG they should go play the original Guildwars, as Guildwars2 is meant to be a new game.” [and yea Jon, on the off chance you read this I still have the screen shot saved if you try to deny these assertions].”

I believe there is Guild Battles but you are looking in the wrong area. I said it before there old GvG is what the WvWvW is. No it is not the same but is similar in many aspects.

NO thoughts? Alright I am done pushing for it on the forums, I will drop it. :’(

Well, honestly, it feels like ArenaNet is trying to cut every connection this game had to original Guild Wars.

They are barely giving Guild Wars 2 any core features original Guild Wars had, and they are making it more and more similar to a traditional MMO.

For what its worth as a new player to GW2.I support your suggestion.

- That’s because GW2 is korean style MMO, which is quite different from MTG style team co-op game the first Guild Wars was. They chose to call it “Guild Wars 2” because the name has brand value and a lot of the customers bought the game thinking it would be similar to Guild Wars.

Brand value, and not to mention that they are telling stories within the same universe as the first game.

I think they’ve made it pretty clear over the last couple years that they aren’t going to produce any specifically designed “GvG mode.” I do believe the Obsidian Sanctum arena is going to be closest players get.

I suspect the reason for that is concern about win-trading (that was an issue in the first Guild Wars), and that the mechanic that allows you to be in 5 different guilds would make it kitten near impossible to prove shady dealings in a structured, reward-based, ranked, and supported game mode.

That’s what I think it boils down to; does the general sentiment of their player base like the convenience of being in multiple guilds or a genuine GvG more… and as of this moment, Arena.net is siding with the former.

Guild Wars 1 in Guild Wars 2 graphics would’ve been enough for me to buy it really.

Some reason:

- Guild Halls
- Guild Capes
- Alliance Battles
- HoH
- REAL community
- Luxon/Kurzick, and every single form of PvP those brought with them
- FACTIONS / NIGHTFALL
