Guild Wars 2

I’m tired of getting the finger from the matchmaking in every match simply because i’m a core player.
I bought this game long before it went f2p, i’ve enjoyed it etc. Mostly I just lvl in pve and pvp, because i hate endgame in all mmos. But this crap has made PVP unbearable.
I don’t want to spend a cent on an expansion that currently treats me like kitten, simply because you want more money.
I get it, you need to play the bills, but this strategy of making all core players farm fodder for p2ws is just horribly evil.
Make the elites specs fun and different. Add a new nuisance to the classes. Give players a WANT to get it.. rather then need to get it unless you wanna be farm fodder.

You have 3 choices atm.
Balance this kitten quickly or
Enable elite specs for everyone in pvp lobbies or
Give elite specs their own matchmaking for sPvP.

Anything else we should just consider as a big finger from Anet.
I’d imagine you’ll probably get more expansion purchases from enabling the elite spec in pvp for everyone. Since the imbalanced bullkitten they’ll probably enjoy the elites so much, that they’ll spend money to get them in PvE and WvW, because they ENJOY IT, rather then feel forced to get them.

If they give elite specs to everyone, then there is no reason for P4F players to buy HoT. The main reason the game went P4F is ESports. The same reason elite specs are more powerful/offer better utilities. It’s to try and get people who own the core game to get HoT. If you are a serious PvP player, you need to buy HoT.

Also pros have posted pics of there P4F accounts in legendary running core builds, this could be them trolling with there main accounts, or they are telling the truth. Either way, some have done it for real.

Put elite specs on a rotation like LoL champions then. 2 free at a time for a week or something.

Again, taking away a reason for people to buy HoT. ANet want ESports, but they also want to make money.

Seriously? This again?

I guess Anet is happy making the game look pay to win then, because to outsiders that is certainly what it looks like. Half the classes don’t even feel like a complete class anymore without the elite spec.
