Guild Wars 2

Can someone explain to me what is a point of playing sPvP?
Few months in:
1.No ratings
2.No leaderboards
3.No tittles-only grindy ones
4.No spectator mode
5.No new game modes
+:
1:New map
Getting no real competition,no real reward-yay cosmetics,dont really care about them its just distracting sometimes.No point in going for tittles as they are grind heavy none of them being skill based.

Now before anyone brings the hate.I actually loved GW1 PvP with GvGs and 4v4 team deathmatches.I loved Alience battles.I actually even enjoyed arena type of pvp from other games and dueling,because it felt competetive and i had sense of progress.

So back to the original question,is the answer just because you like PvP?

The best possible answer would be that players are playing for the “fun” of it. However, current infrastructural, design and balance issues prevent that from happening to a large portion of them.

Test new builds, not wanting to get into a serious match, and of course, to grind for honor, er, I mean glory.

Fun largely. There are balance issues and I hate that I’m pretty much not allowed to play my warrior if theirs even one person on the opposing team that doesn’t lick the windows.

Still though, If I feel like it I can roll a new toon and go into spvp in less than 5 mins (not counting the time it takes to name my character). So yea I really enjoy spvp. If your the kind of person that MUST have a reward that boosts the power of your char then spvp probably isn’t for you.

I never mentioned that i want power boost.I just thought there will be competetive enviroment and there is none,also there is no sense of progress.. you are not getting anywhere.

I was under the assumption that paids where the competitive environment? (never done a paid)

As far as sense of progress? Its coming from that purple bar at the bottom of your screen, yes I realize that all that dose is give you access to more gear with different skins and the same stats but for some people that’s enough. Personaly I compliment people on insane looking gear and high rank simply because I know that they have put the time into this game to have gotten very good at it.

Me and many, many other players are playing it not because of how good we think the game currently is but how good it would be WITH the things you listed, we are waiting for arenanet to deliver.

If arenanet made a post saying they were satisfied with this game designwise and would only balance pvp with patches and not add stuff like replay spectator ladder monthlies real tournies then many players would have left long ago.

The game will be amazing in the future, hopefully it’ll be in the near future c:

Im gonna say most if not all of those will be added then it will really be guild wars 2

If what you describe was a permanent state of affairs i might agree. But the anet spotlight seems to FINALLY be on spvp. Theres clearly work going into it now. so hopefuly things get better soon.
