Guild Wars 2

Would it be possible to make heart of the mist/structured pvp free instances? To where anyone can download and be able to create characters but restricted to pvp only.

I have a lot of friends who really only ever got into some MOBAs because they are free to download and play.

I am not sure if this idea is bad or great, so I thought I’d pitch it and see what the community thinks.

I feel like this would create a bigger pvp community and a community with a lot more competitive players.

not really, it would just make it easier for gold-spamers.
The game is decently promoted by A-net, so people that would be interested to play it competitively are already here. Actually, the current PvP player-base is fairly large.

I don’t believe that a game should ever be limited by something purely due to people like gold-spammers who don’t care about playing the game. But it could be possible that Anet does a great job in promoting it. I still believe that there is an untapped community that believes this game as a whole still comes down to the game being just an MMO, and don’t think of taking it seriously in the competitive aspect of it. There are also a lot of people that start playing the game not to be competitive but purely because they may have a competitive nature but just want to try out this free game.

I also have many friends that would totally get gemstore items if they were free of charge.
Anet pls make gemstore free for all so my friends can get your gemstore stuff!

Not all the game items obviously, just the gem ones. I think it would highly increase the number of players acquiring skins if those skins were free.

I feel this would create a larger community of people using gemstore skins. That can’t be bad or illogical in any way.

I think spvp and wvw/pve being split into two separate games would be good for spvp community. However, I don’t it would be possible at this point.

I actually think this is a good idea. Just put the people on the sample accounts in their own instance and don’t let them join any of the others. In a match of course they can be mixed with everyone.

It’s a great idea.

Only concerns: Bans might have to be IP bans. Maybe add some sort of anti-spam mechanics that make it so that new pvp-only things can’t message or mail players outside of the mists, idk. They could come up with ways to limit gold sellers (f2p games handle it, no reason anet can’t.)

It would do a lot do good though.

OMG. The game was on sale for $10 and probably will be again. That’s the price of a movie. That’s the price of two drinks at Starbucks. That’s not enough?
