I get you point, and it would make a good suggestion. However, if one category of monthly is stated as PVP and one is not then the latter could and should be considered NON-PvP.

I guess you are not familiar with the GW2-specific terminology. In GW2 PvP doesn’t refer to all player-killing activities, it’s actually used for the structured pvp. If you look under your achievement tab, you’ll notice that there is a PvP Conqueror category and a separate one ofr World vs World. Furthermore, both the daily and the monthly PvP achievements can only be completed in sPvP(every single activity required is only present there) and give only sPvP related rewards(tournament tickets, glory boosters, pvp salvage kits…none of those has any use outside sPvP). While I can see where the confusion comes from, making claims without bothering to do your research is extremely ignorant.

I looked into the Daily/Monthly PvP achievement before posting and I did see that the requirements were sPvP oriented. However, to me (and to alot of people I’ve come across over the years gaming, including industry writers, game developers, game designers) sPvP or WvWvW is still PvP no matter how you spin it.

PvP is short for Player-versus-Player. As in a system where one team, group or individual is pitted against another team, group or individual to achieve certain goals. Usually these goals boil down to taking out (“killing”) the opposing player/s. As long as it involves Players “killing” other Players, then it is PvP.

ANET’s stated goal for GW2 has been to make this game into an eSport and I guess this is the way they are trying to achieve this. They then should have named the achievement Monthly/Daily eSport or Monthly/Daily sPvP.

If ANET and GW2 doesn’t use the same terminology as the rest of the gamming industry especially when it pertains to the definition of PvP, then its hardly the posters fault. ANET should have published their dictionary of terminologies along with their “Manifesto”. The only ignorance in evidence here, is therefore, a lack of understanding between the definition of PvE and PvP, as stated by the industry.

veldan is correct. it’s called an ACHIEVEMENT. if you can’t do it, then don’t. but coming here and posting about it isn’t going to help you complete it.

my theory is that the qqers here feel as if they are ENTITLED to an ACHIEVEMENT.

no.

you are entitled to the rewards of your achievement once you’ve achieved it. apply this to the myriad aspects of real life. qq to your boss about how you can’t make the christmas bonus because of something you don’t like to do that is required. i want polaroids of their faces when you drop this theoretical bomb on them.

Were not entitled to an achievement unless we go through and do all the parts of it…

so why are people who play sPvP rewarded for playing the game like they always have? They now get daily and monthly rewards for not doing a kitten thing different – that doesn’t sound like they’ve achieved anything…

Anets rewarding sPvP players just for playing that part of the game and trying to force us to join them, and it’s complete and total bullkitten. I want a PvE game, but they don’t feel like fixing their bugs so I should play PvP? They don’t feel like making content outside a single dungeon interesting so I should play PvP?

You’re failing to see the larger picture – the only thing that’s constantly decent about this game is PvP in their eyes, because all they have to do is add new maps from time to time. Fixing the game is too hard so they’re trying to force us to participate into PvP in hopes we’ll like it and continue to play the game.

When there’s absolutely no reward for people to enjoy PvE alone – it’s because the game developers are failing to treat their fans in a fair way – not because we don’t ever accomplish anything.
