Guild Wars 2 is bad.
I’m sorry I find your post hard to understand…I don’t really know what to answer. Could you make a short concise statement of what you mean?

I was being intentionally vague, however if there is one concise point I made it’s “After all these years of GW1 PvP all I get is this lousy AB”. T-Shirt imprint.
I think it’s the most fundamental question to consider, we know A.net can do better but they deliberately chose not to. After all is said and done they were more concerned with releasing another World of Warcraft Expansion than actually pursuing their own IP.

why compare AB to Conquest? Don’t you even know that the profession mechanics also changed?
yes, your 3 2 1 spike build doesn’t work. it’s not your old boring deathmatch where you can kill the guild lord and /resign. i’m not forced to grouping myself to 8 people anymore. small scale fights count a lot. you need to be skilled 1 vs 1. in Guild Wars 1, 1vs1 is non existent.
They have designed abilities based on GW1 but the mechanics are different than in GW1. Since they made a new game with different mechanics, I think they can’t implement similar pvp modes right away. They have no metrics that can give a clue about class balance. Once the game is a little older, they will have a better idea of where the class balance stands and will be able to tweak classes. Once the classes are tweaked they will be able to release more pvp games, which will lead to even more data that they can use to keep trying to balance all the classes.
I don’t think I would have wanted another GW1 expansion. I really like the game we actually have now and it has tons of potential. If they stay true to tweaking and improving it constantly, then we will end up with a really good game. It will just take some patience.
I hate GW2 hotjoin pvp.
I’ve never liked WvW iterations.
I like GW2 pve & dungeons.
I like GW2 crafting.
I like GW2 tourneys, although wish they were going to be ranked/laddered/paid soon.
ymmv, and the OP’s has. Not “good riddance” and “see ya” and crap like that, it’s more I’m sorry you spent 60 bucks and didn’t find it fun. I hope you do have fun in whatever you do elsewhere, or if you continue to play here, that it gets better for you.

Yes, and that is precisely the point I am making here. The reason conquest “made the cut” of all the other things they could potentially have done, is because the mechanics are utterly flawed. It is probably impossible to implement GvG with the core mechanics of GW2.
The meeting on this issue must’ve been something along these lines:
>> “Finally, we made a new World of Warcraft Expansion! Good job everyone!”
> “But boss, the core game mechanics are now utterly incompatible with any form of comeptitive play!”
>> “Bah, Just put Alliance Battles in. Teen Girls love Alliance Battles!”
> “Brilliant! How does he get these ideas!”
> “That’s why he is our boss!”

I am sorry that you never understood GW1 but that doesn’t not automatically allow you to post nonsense.
it is you who is posting nonsense since you already know and we do that guild wars 2 and guild wars 1 are completely different games.

There is a reason I post this in the sPvP section and not the PvE section, you know. PvE is traditionally borderlinekitten in the GW franchise and quite frankly, I don’t care one bit what the whiney neckbeards spend their time with.
