Guild Wars 2

Ok so the title is clickbait humor. I don’t know if france can be considered the biggest empire-superpower-to-be on earth, but what matters is:

The pvp of this game is rigged. It has been so for 5 years. We all keep waiting for the moment when pvp is going to rocket its way up to the stars, but the truth is this is it’s never going to happen. It’s not because the devs , although they are great for creating such a game, are not interested in making the radical changes necessary to make this a stable and competitive environment.
You wanna know something that symbolizes this perfectly for me? Vapor form. Yes, vapor form. The ele downed skill. For 5 kitten years this still erases the history of damage you suffered pre-death and denies you access to a CRUCIAL information about your weaknesses’. And then there’s spectator mode, utilities that were arguably never useful (I’m looking at you spirit weapons, and conjured weapons, and ele glyphs, and many more), useless sigils, runes, amulets that were taken away, then restored, then taken away again (seriously, stat amulets in a competitive game? what is this, turn-based or action rpg?). We need a complete overhaul of many aspects of pvp for it to meet the skill-based dynamic matches of other pvp games.
Now I’m no eSport eXpert, but in my opinion, it should be easier to watch, easier to learn (somewhat), harder to master, stable in meta and changes, strategic but not overly complex; tactical. Devs have (and they should have) the freedom to determine what kind of eSport they are aiming to create, and Guild Wars 2 is enough of a superpower in itself that it doesn’t need to pay tribute to other games’ formulas, but it definitely should create and follow a simple plan to achieve attainable goals.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to stop playing, I love this game. I just wish it didn’t make me keep waiting for GW3.

tl;dr Make guild wars great again by removing the reignant 5-years status quo. I’m kidding. maybe.

Ps.: The original joke I made with friends was comparing the game to my country, Brazil, the biggest emerging nation failure of all times, but then I realized GW2 would never be comparable to Brazil because it’s already a superpower =x

All honest GW2’rs know GW2 is horribly flawed from the company that owns it right down to the skills and minor traits on various professions. Now that interrupt mesmer is dead under the post HoT apocalypse, the only thing that keeps me mucking around on this game is killshot. And Killshot isn’t even viable anymore since core specs are a joke. Fortunately it’s ugly step cousin Gunflame shores up the gaps. This is all to say there was some beauty to GW2, but like a silicone valley-valley girl, the cosmetic surgery they did to try and extend it’s life and make more money off it turned it into a deformed mess XD

First off, let me start off by saying that I still don’t understand your analogy to France lol.

Second, yeah, PvP is a disaster. Let’s be realistic about this. It’s not getting better folks! In order for PvP to be stable, competitive and flourish it needs substantial amounts of resources, (time, money, devs) which is just not going to happen. Unless there are company changes and a restructuring of people, PvP is NOT getting better.

I’ve already quit. My rating should be about 0 now lol. I’m not playing another PvP season ever again. This is the FIFTH attempt at trying to create a stable PvP experience and it’s failed again. Sorry, I’m through giving chances.
