Guild Wars 2

Posted originally on Reddit, thought I’d share this here. I really don’t know what to think of Anet anymore… Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love this game and the gameplay is fantastic, but there are soooo many posts about the completely broken state of PvP and the devs are acting like there aren’t any problems everytime someone brings up the topic. I get that they can make much more money from PvE, but advertising for the PvP content in this game the way they do via the tournaments atm, is just wrong….

It’s beyond me how anyone can defend this….

1. Broken Matchmaking (solos matched with pre mades)

2. Unbalanced Teams (rabbits vs dragons, and yes I know rank=/= skill but dont tell me someone who played a 1000 games is worse then somebody who played less then 100….)

3. OP builds that havent been looked at for literally MONTHS!

4. Hotjoin is just…. well I don’t really consider it as something people actually like playing besides getting dailies, or crushing “noobs” with their skilled team for fast rank up games. Imagine what a new player will think that joins pvp for the first time….

5. Quitters…. they exist in every game I know, but the lack of punishment is really frustrating in GW2.

6. Win/Loss ratio… looks fantastic on paper, but is laughable when you look closely. The ratio doesn’t consider how the match played out. You can get a 500-0 win in your first match and a 0-500 loss in your second match. Voila, there’s your 50/50 ratio, but I garantee you one of the teams was kittened because the match was unbalanced in some way.

Anet lacks the resources and talent.

You can barely make a competitive pvp game if it’s updated once every 6 months.

You can’t definitely make a competitive pvp if each update introduces imbalance and bugs.
