I’ve noticed a lack of ArenaNet posts in this forum in the last week or so. Is this a good sign? Does it mean they’re busy working on the much needed matchmaking system for tournaments? Are they going to reward people for defending points and winning (which would solve the Mesmer and Thief issue in hot join – roaming and killing fast are the only things rewarded right now)
I’m really at the end of my tether with the state of PvP. The game play is brilliant and the meta in paid tournaments was beginning to develop nicely but I’ve noticed a sharp drop in activity since the 15th November patch. I waited for this game for 5 years after having some of the best PvP experiences in GW1. I can live with only one game mode, the balance is good enough for now in my books and the game play is a lot of fun. It’s even fun to watch but the lack of matchmaking in tournaments and the reward system in hot join is killing the game.
I really do hope this silence is a positive sign and we see all the promised systems implemented in a timely manner but I’m growing skeptical. This really is a plea for ArenaNet to get this sorted out as soon as possible as it would be one of the biggest misses of the year to see a game with such great PvP potential go to waste.
