Guild Wars 2

Should there be equipment or crafting materials or rewards that you must obtain in sPvP in order to create the best tier equipment for WvW?

In short, for many players who PvE or WvW, the whole sPvP element is not used because it provides no rewards outside of that game element.

I am NOT advocating that you can “bring your own gear” to spvp, just that somehow sPvP should have appreciable value and impact on the rest of the game for an individual player.

Thoughts?

The issue is if you don’t get casuals in sPvP, then really it will be the least focused on activity for ANET because it impacts the fewest and frankly you don’t buy gems to sPvP so in many ways it has no real value after you purchase the game UNLESS you sPvP to benefit the other elements which do tempt you to purchase gems etc.

Seriously, if you were ANET would you focus much on sPvP? It has to get integrated versus being stand alone in my opinion.
