I think ArenaNet abandoned PvP
Nah, they’ll bring balance don’t worry. One day. Sonner or later. Or much later. I think.

Or when Guild Wars 2 becomes a successful Esport so ArenaNet can start fixing serious problems instead of wanna-be Esport try hards.
I don’t know about abandoned, cause I saw Roy in pvp the other day, but they sure are taking their sweet time to do anything. If they don’t act soon, it will definitely affect them negatively.

It’ll be interesting what they perceive as being successful. A dwindling casual, none-pro players base that’s being farmed by pro-team abusing the MMR ranking to get fater que and move up the rank faster, dunno if that can consider a success, compared to real e-sport game like DOTA2 and LoL which gets way more frequent and better balance updates to the game.

Knowing them, Arenanet will bring about as much balance as Anakin Skywalker brought to the Force…

actually Anakin did bring balance to the force , before the Empire there were many Jedi and only 2 Sith, after Anakin became Lord Vader and the slaughter of the Jedi there were 2 Jedi left, Obi Wan and Yoda and 2 Sith, Sidious and Vader. As you see balance achieved

Meaning that we will have to wait 6 seasons/movies and then they will ban/kill Darth Abjured and from there we see if anything will change? xD
Or maybe it is more like a “finding nemo” kind of thing?

@OP:
ANET has not abandoned PvP. They are trying ,but they have two main issues right now:
1. A balance team that doesn’t know how to balance
2. A matchmaking system that is horrible at matchmaking.
They’ve tried to fix things, but they’ve repeatedly failed.

Sadly they’ve had these 2 problems for 3 years now…

They need to learn to communicate to show they have acknowledged the problems that sPvP has. It doesn’t take long for them to do a short write-up so there is no excuse that there is no time for it.
Blizzard have a “Community Feedback Update” every week for Starcraft 2.
Ironically League of Legends doesn’t listen to their community. I remember the juggernaut update everyone was saying, “This is crazy overpowered” in the public testing.
And yet they still released it. You had Darius going around 1v5ing people, Garen going 0/5 yet still runs head first into an enemy team and destroys them and my favorite was Skarner getting a hotfix. A champion with a 75% win ratio, that’s like having an extra person on your team.
Still though, at least they said it was a problem and nerfed it in a month.

i’ll address the first problem people are saying on the bases.
“matchmaking complaints” are made in every game, League of Legends matchmaking had Millions of problems for years of its release, Smite another MoBA took ages to get their matchmaking to start going in the correct direction, imho it takes Multiple failed attempts to actually find a Matchmaking which Lifts in the correct way, i aint going to hold A-net responsible based on that realistically, the Matchmaking isnt as broken as is flawed realistically, its allowing top players to farm new players for easy pips by tanking MMR and other methods.
the balance actually wasnt bad at all before all these changes realistically, tbh, the expansion brought alot more variables then normal expansions would, generally a MMO expansion holds 1 new class which will need balancing…. anet released like 10 new Mechanics into the game through a Expansion, did they mess up Not releasing a Pre-balancing and assuming the balancing in HoT Release would be enough, Yes they did…. have they half admitted this in a post, Yes. just not their own offical forum.
im not going to hold a grudge, or Simply complain on the Devs til i see the Pre-patch notes for season 2, im kinda hoping they’re redeeming and the reason they want so long to do is is because they’re going to REALLY balance it and it wont just be a numbers thing across the board.
but yes, the balancing, they messed up on currently, they made a bad decision, but blizzard Riot and many others have done the EXACT same thing, with no feedback on what they’ve done, they’ve all royally shafted classes/proffessions/champions/heroes/gods for Long periods of time
blizzard Shafted Spriests and paladins for a ENTIRE expansion, andf Paladins for like 3 Expansions in a Row, they sold a Pre-purchase, to a Expansion and Deleted half the details on a rush to release the game, and after 2 Release patchs told the community thats it for WoD, LoL have released Millions of imbalanced things into the games constantly, they all have Equally just as much of a Meta that bases around what is the strongest.
its Arguable that WoWs balancing is actually worse, they’re meta completely removes half the classes, its not a case of “oh im forced to use my proffessions Elite”.. its “oh im forced to completely reroll with only 2 viable options to choose from for this meta”.
not defending A-net, im pretty sure u’d have to be daft to think they’ve achieved what they expected with the balancing currently, they’ve just kinda gritted their teeth, but i think its Wrong to run in and Say that this is a Anet only problem, i think every MMO to this day has had Massive Areas of WTF when it comes to balance.
