Guild Wars 2

Why do you call this game Guild Wars when there was no competition between Guilds. My advice is to insert some kind of competition between Guilds, top 100 ranking list of guilds and aliance between guilds

The title Guild Wars is refers the lore that preceeds Gw1 if I’m not mistaken. It’s not necessarily a reference to the player created guilds. Try to search for some lore videos, that adress this subject. WoodenPotatoes on youtube has an excellent Guild wars lore-series.

Because it’s the sequel game to Guild Wars (1).

The label “Guild Wars” is a moniker, and the literal meaning, guilds warring against each other, is not important in what the game must entail.
It can be used to simply show that the game is based on the same content. (Such as the lore and geography)

GW1 = Epic GvG
GW2 = PVE and should not have included PvP (its a joke and is tacked on)…should see the PVP thread after todays patch….if you enter be safe…its dangerous.

A better name that they wanted to use was already taken…

…as the technology progresses, groupings like that will eventually evolve, if a world war and TOTAL ANNIHILATION doesn’t happen first.

We do have cross server same guild and cross server WvW partying spies, what more could you ask for?

@@Angelus, I can’t get on GW2 after today’s patch, so I’m safe.

my point of “why its called guild wars” its that there is no competition between guild’s… or some top 100 list or something like that

Neither did the original when it was released. Patience.

SvemoguciBor,
So the point of your post is to complain that the game isn’t what you want.

You aren’t interested in the history and lore that drives and directs the game world?

To answer the question the the game is named after 3 guild wars that happened between the Human kingdoms of Orr,Kryta and Ascalon between the years 1013-1070 AE .

This guy pretty much said it.

Ascalon, Orr, and Kryta where at a Guild Wars after the events of GW1 game.
The Guild is not refered to the Player’s guild but the ingame lore of how the guilds where at war during that time period.

If you havn’t played GW1 then you would be confused lol

I didn’t play GW1, but picked that up from the storyline in GW2 where its mentioned by the ancient elder tree or whatever she is called.

Yep, play the story mission where the Pale Tree sends you to Orr, there she will tell you the story of how the “Guild Wars” started. It’s the name of a war that is going on in the lore of this game and has nothing to do with any real guild vs. guild features

i dont know, i think thay need to put in game some competition between guilds. the story is great and what to do when you finish story, there is nothing else than farming all day for some legendary items. dont know that is my opinion.
