I don’t really like the end game. It’s just, gear up and play WvW.
GW2 have good potential to be the number 1 MMORPG because it has awesome combat and great leveling.

BUT you really need to do arenas. It would be awesome. 2v2, 3v3 and 5v5 and you have different gear. If you win the arena you should get tokens, like conquest in World of Warcraft.

And with this tokens you can buy pvp gear. This gear could give like “Player resistance” or something special, maybe stun duration reduction.

The great thing about WoW is that it have a really, just amazing, arena.
If you Anet invent something like that, me and many other players would be pleased.

Thanks for answering

Player resistance? No thanks.

PvP should be balanced, if you want to out gear people then go to WvW with all ascended trinkets.

PvP gear is already available using glory so I don’t see what your point is there. 2v2, 3v3, 5v5, etc etc are becoming available with the advent of custom arenas.

What point were you trying to make with this thread?

I guess GW2 attracts just as many different kinds of people as all of the other decent mmorpgs. Which is actually a good thing. All kinds of players seem to have fun in at least some aspects of the game.

Dear developers, you obviously did a very good job on many things… cheers!

Dear Sickaan, I´ve played the game you adress in your post for a couple of years.
The things you mention that you miss in GW2, are much of the things that had me turning my back to wow in the first place.

I agree with you on one thing… these games have to evolve continously. All the different kinds of players have to be constantly fed with some kind of improvements that make them happy.

The arenas in wow were mor of a burden than a satisfying gameplay.
I had to do them to acquire decent gear. The maps and the way the Arenas had to be played were completely unsatisfying for me and many others. (I felt the maps themselves were also extremely poorly designed.)

Yes, I would even call 90% of the matches I was involved in highly boring.

On the other hand, I finally found a game where I can pvp without having to grind.
I have found a game which reduces the experience of grinding to a minimum.
Hay, all I have to do is create a character and then I can start to be competetive!

I understand that there is a fair base of players that think pvp isn´t rewarding enough the way it is handled at the moment.
But please also understand that there are many pvp´ers and players with not too much time on their hands, that found a game where they can fit into.

So speaking for “my” little minority: please don´t make these proposed changes!

cheers,
gandhi

you’d rather win because your stats are higher instead of how well you play
