forced pvp for pve rewards is lame.
What makes any of these things “PvE rewards”?
What makes you “forced” to get any of these particular rewards?
Why are you not “forced” to get other rewards that are available from PvP, or are PvP-exclusive?
Where are you getting your figures on player numbers from?
I finished my map completion 25 times. It is really a patient game. I just wait till our server claim the land to get the point.
I didn’t get the exo aquabreather. Didn’t even think about it. As it’s not like we fight underwater very much. I did pvp over the holiday but I used it to get the dungeon accessory.
You are not forced to. You want that aquabrather ? Work for it. You want a legendary ? Work for it.
It’s a choice you make, you can play and enjoy the game without legendary, nobody forced you to want them.
I didnt like to do wvw completion also, but I did it because I wanted the 100% on characters, and that wasn’t that bad, just a quick look at wvw map and if the part I needed was avaiable I ran there.
I didnt have a gun pointed at my face, and neither do you.
If you have no interestest in the game anymore, it’s on you, it’s not because of a stupid reward track or because Anet sucks for not giving you a legendary.
Stop complaining and aim for what is at your range.
If you need a legendary to enjoy the game, then yes you should close it and play something else.
Plus, in life, you also need to do things you don’t like in order to get something you convoit. You are just whining because we don’t offer you want you want in a silver plate.
You can have fun in this game, it depends on you, don’t need to be a crybaby.
this is like saying ‘i shouldn’t have to do wvw for map completion’ i feel the same way about pve for map completion. get over it, in other words.

I would like to not be known as a PVE’er, PVP’er or WvW’er…
I want to be known as a GW2 player, I enjoy all facets of this great game. I get so tired of trolls, and full time complainers. There is way more to do on this forum than gripe and threaten.
It’s not like you’re forced to map to get a legendary, you can always buy one. It’s not like you need an exotic waterbreather, there’s not much underwater content and people have used masterwork/rare ones this whole time. You just want these items but don’t like the way they were implemented, in which case if it’s not fun for you to get you shouldn’t. But that doesn’t mean you can’t keep playing the game and enjoying the parts you already do. And if you think you can’t enjoy a game because of a few tiny pvp related things then you probably didn’t enjoy it much to begin with before that.
Basically if you want those things do them and appreciate that this game has 3 game modes and if you choose to limit yourself to 1 then you’ll limit yourself to certain things in game. It’s a choice issue not an Anet issue.

I guess the only question is why is an exotic aquabreather worth so much to you that you felt you had to PvP to get it?
Is there some underwater stuff you can’t do with your green aquabreather?

that’s fine with me, fortunately it was a general statement. and you’re right, there’s more than enough griping, however this is kind of a subject i’ve recently dealt with. i had to do pve world completion for my frostfang, so it kind of irks me when people complain about doing wvw map completion like it’s on anywhere near the scale of pve map completion.

I only like to play PvP, why am I forced to play PvE and WvW to get map completion?
I wish Anet will get rid of map completion in PvE and WvW maps and just give it for PvP players who like to play in costum arenas or else I am going to run around and scream that the game is dying.
Lightsbane, I kind of understand your point in that there’s far more to get in PvE than WvW, however they are much more easilly accessible and not hidden behind fortified walls that can be defended by enemy hoardes. Getting some particular points can be difficult especially if your server is particularly weak or doesn’t rotate to a given colour. You can legitimately try for days, or weeks to get a given PoI in WvW yet any PvE map can be earned within 2-3 hours.
Bandito Baba, I do somewhat feel your pain, however you’ve made choices. You have chosen to pursue a legendary and as such you’re going through WvW map completion. It is something that you particularly do not enjoy yet you’re doing so because you want the carrot on the end of the stick. The same in regard to the Exotic Waterbreather. There is comparatively little underwater combat and our existing gear is more than sufficient yet you’ve chosen to pursue this given item. You’ve made a decision that the end item to you was worth the time spent in PvP to earn it.
You have made choices concerning how it is that you wish to play the game, and now you’re here complaining about the choices you have made. I understand your frustrations, yet I do not sympathize.
can always just get the rare breathers, and legendaries on the tp if you dont want to work for them.
I say what needs to be said, get used to it.

that’s my point, to get over it, and i did, i got over it. now i’m back doing what i prefer to do. just complaining without understanding there’s two sides to this argument, is a bit ill advised. pve map completion felt longer than it was(and took me weeks to do because it was so mindbendingly boring), and i guess i was one of those rare people that ran for the hills to get my wvw maps complete when enemies weren’t on it.

I hate that I have to spend hours in PvE for my Sunrise skin. Very negative experience for someone who hates PvE so thanks for that.
Seriously though, just deal with it. If someone like me has to grind hours upon hours through the most boring game mode in GW2 (PvE) to get my legendary Sunrise skin then you shouldn’t complain about having to do a little bit of PvP to get your aqua breather.
Gee I have never seen this thread before.

Wasn’t aimed at you, seems we are in agreement anyhow. It is difficult to get world completion sometimes, but by no means impossible. When I was doing mine for the first time (out of 3 now) when all I had left were the WvW objectives, it made it like a whole new game for me, and I enjoyed it unlike some around here. It added value to my game instead of giving me something to complain about.
Since you despise WvW (which I don’t consider PvP, but a kind of PvE with some slight risk [no repair or waypoint cost if defeated]), it can not matter to you which Server your account resides on. Save up some Gold, exchange to Gems, and transfer to a Server that is often Red. Voila! Problem solved.
Good luck.
I guess the only question is why is an exotic aquabreather worth so much to you that you felt you had to PvP to get it?
Is there some underwater stuff you can’t do with your green aquabreather?
I decided that the exo aquabreather was not worth my time to go play sPvP, but I would still like to see that item available in the parts of the game that I do play regularly.
I would like to see a lot more items distributed across the game more or less evenly, but Anet prefers the carrot and stick.
Play the game how you want to play? What a joke.

Play how you want never EVER meant getting every reward you want for playing how you want. That’s the nature of games. You get specific rewards for doing specific things. Even Guild Wars 1 was like that.
I disagree. I love the PvP Reward tracks. But again, i enjoy the sPvP.
Arena Nets are used to catch Gladiator Fish.
If all you do now is logging in for 15 min to check wvw maps in order to craft your legendary and you find nothing else fun to do than collecting your log in reward, i find it hard to believe that you will find something fun to do, once you obtained your legendary.

Play how you want doesnt mean look how you want in a game that was clear about offering some cosmetics only in the gem store from the start.

Its funny as for over two years I would actually have recommended GW2 because I found it to be a game you could have fun playing how you wanted, this is no longer the case for me and it makes me sad.
It’s funny how much you cry over something that you choose yourself to do.
Did I ever tell you, the definition, of Insanity?
Forced? FORCED? are you kidding me? Who is focing you do to it? You sir can skip dailyes completly. Even act they are not there. Pvp daily is literally done in one match. One played match. Pve is mining 3 ore nods and view a vista. Omg that IS sooo hard. WvW is kiling one dolyak and capture a point. Again, that sounds nearly impossible to achieve!!!
And i dunno if you noticed, but, you can do pvp, pve or wvw daily. Instead of posting a kitten lazy post about “forcing” you to to something in game, you could actually do your daily.
(edited by Oxidia.8103)
Forced is the wrong word. But imagine this.
Suppose you actually played for achievement points. That was your game. A lot of people do. Anet has just changed your game. That’s what this is all about.
You don’t care about min/maxing or whatever. You only care about getting achievements. Again, there are a lot of achievement people out there.
Anet has made it harder for those PvE people to get achievements, and they don’t like it. It’s changed their game.

The fact that a water breather was place in that reward set is a bit odd as the only reason water combat is still in the game is it would be too much work to remove it from the open world.

I got a water breather out of the giant wintersday boxes. I didnt touch the spvp track. Whats the big deal?
Gee I have never seen this thread before.
because there are always pvers who feel entitled.
@ CMM: I haven seen many of these either in the past but thats because i avoided anything not BLTC or WvW forum.
@lightsbane: I think u may attract the attention of the forum politeness police by using the word entitled.
This is what will happen. If Anet looks at the metrics and sees people aren’t doing dailies or aren’t logging in as much, Anet will change it.
If Anet looks at the metrics and see very few people are no longer doing the daily, they probably won’t.
I am honestly not sure of what you are asking even upon reading this thread. Are you saying that you should not have to work for something you want and just have it handed down to you on a silver platter? :/
FOR SKYRIM!!!!!
im not much of a pvp guy but i did do the wintersday reward track for the ultimate gift not knowing what was inside gotta say it was fuggin worth it
If the insane gold cost of a legendary didn’t deter you and you don’t care about wvw, just grind a bit more gold, convert it to gems, and move to a higher tier wvw server. In T2 EU at least, Stonemist is flipping all the time.

It made more sense before threads were merged/deleted, ah well, the OP never came back , kinda suspected that it was a hit and run.
The part I ‘ll point out is that mapping the WvW realm (something that I still haven’t finished, since the two points I need have been solidly in enemy control since release) is TEDIOUS. Three of the four maps are identical.
OP, all I can suggest is that you do what I’ve been doing for over two years. Check the BL’s regularly while you play. Odds are that eventually, one day, they’ll be unlocked.
Failing that, you’ll be stuck where I am, at 99% with one PoI and one vista remaining, knowing that it’s likely never going to be completed.
Really disappointed that Im forced into Pvp which I hate so I can craft a lengendary. For those that say I dont need to make one the answer is yes I do. In every game Ive played I like to work towards the best gear its what keeps me interested in a game and a goal that I can reach. This is not world pvp and I shouldnt have to participate in it as this is essentially a pve game.
How did you even find this topic? It’s nine months old.
I assume you’re talking about Shards of Glory, to which my answer is: Buy them on the trading post. They’re tradeable.
