Guild Wars 2

Something you’d be hard pressed to find on this forum is an exchange of ideas concerning PvP in this game as it is. I suppose those sorts of things are more commonly found in the Member’s forum of guild websites. Here, you are far, far, far more likely to learn how many different iterations of Guild Wars 2 is possible if it was customizable to the liking of each and every player who just can’t seem to find a way to enjoy it as is.

I understand that there are bugs. I understand that there are balance and design shortcomings. I also understand that player feedback plays a vital role in the identification of those things.

But we all know you aren’t contributing for the betterment of the game. You are interested in making things easier for you. Besides, it may be of some importance to note that no amount of lamentation will elevate this or any game to perfection—not even close. Specifically, there will always be overpowered classes, skills and mechanics. And there will always be those who (smartly) use them to their advantage.

In short, the players and teams who are beating you consistently are doing so thanks to a combination of attitude, will and skill. And no matter how many times this game is balanced and rebalanced, most of these players will continue to dominate.

You see, it isn’t the game. It’s you. Now, can we start talking about how to get better at this game and not some theoretical version of it?

Yours truly,

I agree. A lot of it comes down to the person and not whether or not the game is this or the game is that.

On a side note that is related to this thread; if someone uses something that is OP why are they a noob/unskilled for doing so? I always thought it was smart to use any advantage you have access to if it means further advancement over not using that advantage.
It’s not like they are breaking any rules or knowingly exploiting any bugs (that could get them banned), so why complain about someone being smarter than you when they aren’t doing anything wrong? To me it just makes you (complainers) look like they are naive in their world views and don’t really understand that life is inherently not fair.

The game, any game, is tailored FOR the players, for individuals, and is as good as those players perceive it. So that means that there isn’t some sort of ultimate truth of the universe, it’s all about whether the players (customers) like it or not.
