If Anet is so insistent on GW2 being an e-sport, then I’m baffled as to why there is so little variation or choice in the maps and modes.
I mean we literally have conquest..with the SAME maps since launch. One stronghold map and the courtyard which was probably the most ill conceived attempt at deathmatch I have played in any game ever. For example, just off the top of my head, even if you you used some instanced variants of certain PVP maps, liek part of Rata SUM for a Last Man standing mode or Deathmatch..Or capture the flag..ANYTHING NEW.
How hard can it be to make new maps? They are TINY. And why aren’t spirit watch and skyhammer in the league? You should look at what Rockstar have done with GTA online. There are SO many different forms of PVP. Capture the flag, deathmatch, last man standing..etc etc. These are off the top of my head. In a ll there are nearly 20 different forms of PVP in that game.
I don’t mind the desire to focus on pvp but at least actually show that you mean it. GW1 craps on gw2 from a great height in this regard. In living memory, I’ve never played a game that had SO much potential that literally consistently fails to come to fruition.
