Guild Wars 2

maybe make small monthly pvp fee and some part of this money put for tornaments rewards ,this could buff the pvp scene i guess…..
money is the best solution to make some kind of “e-sport”
i still love this game and believe in it pvp part to become elite “e-sport”

i would like to see 1 milion $ cash prize for a tourney XD

10k people X 100 $ per year = 1milion or 20k people x 50 $ -1 milion

i just wonder if it is possible to get 10k or 20 k people paying for this XD but it would be nice

: D it is amazing how a person could come up with the idea like this:

- Company did not make the product they promised at the start (pvp)
- Company did not improve on almost any aspect of said product in 2 years (pvp)
- Company shows 0 interest in increasing the value of it in the future
- From at least 3mln copies bought I doubt there is even 1% left playing pvp
- And someone suggests to take a fee from this minuscule amount of players thinking that they will continue playing and hoping for something in the future instead of quitting?
- Prizes do not = e sport, good game = e sport, now think what gw2 lacks and understand that this dream was only a marketing ploy to increase the sale of product.

I am fairly certain a fee to play PvP would result me in finding my luck elsewhere…

Right now the two best aspects to me in this game are the combat and the fact that I paid once – if they push it, I am out…

Hello frands! Vee Wee here, #1 Engi NA and world first rank 80!

Literally the worst thing Vee Wee has read all day! This poopy butt game needs more features not more restrictions!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

This would just make the player base nonexistent…

There are better pvp games out there with no fees.

Pretty much this.

with attitude like this i see that this game has no chance XD and will die fast

so if it will be dead anyway tell me which game will have combat mechanics like this but better development (not LoL like games or hs )? i will go there XD

lost my hopes

Well, what do you expect what will happen if you “force” people to pay to play?

Do you think those people like me, who like the game but cannot even scratch the top and likely will never do so, and thus have no chance on ever get their investment back, will actually start playing more?

If you “lost your hope” because you think that people are “willing to pay” then, and pardon my words, “I lost hope in you”…

There are but several thousands, maybe hundreds of people playing consistently, only those on the top get catered, and you want to punish them all…

it was some kind of irony from me XD

but really name one game that can compete with gw 2 …..pls

ohhh and tell me how many of those milions watching football will get part from milions of dollars put in to this sport ?

In combat – none… But this is mostly personal

PvP Scenes? Please, even Dawn of War II’s scene is better managed, and that is mainly fanbased…

On more serious notes: CS:Go, Dota, LoL – these generate more of a revenue than this game could even dream off…

but those games are terrible would never pay 1 $ for players playing them , but i could pay to watch people playing this game ,same as people paying for other sports just to watch how they improve and what new tricks skills they can get

There’s a reason why we have “attitudes” like this. It’s been over two years of empty promises and false hopes (maybe a bit too dramatic lol). It’s just frustrating to see the game going in the direction it is. It has (had) such potential, just to see it never achieved and wasted. This is coming from the studio that brought you GW1 which had some of the best pvp out of any mmo.

i think this is a troll thread, because the idea is just too bad to be serious.
its only a tiny minority of the pvp playerbase that take part in these tournaments,
and you want to charge all pvpers (and pve’ers wanting to do one or two matches)
just to enter pvp?

a bunch of maps, one game mode and an utter lack of balance,
pvp already feels like a masochistic waste of time,
and you want to make it a waste of money too? XD

1st: Those games are by default not terrible since they appeal to an audience larger than GW2 does – the only reason I, and many others, still play is because they like this different game

2nd: This game is an utter mess when you see a stream. Random AoEs, particle effects flying everywhere, sometimes even confusing the Streamer as to who is doing what in the end, and lastly, a bunch of Passives doing unexplicable things at the right or wrong moment… There is almost no enjoyment in watching it if you do not relate to the game or the teams in any way – and you want people to pay for it

3rd: I think you need to reconsider what you think might be a “good idea” by the amount of negative feedback you get here… Someone here is wrong, and if you cannot see it isn’t you, then I will just be on my way and breath some air before it runs out…

It is not the attitude of players, but the attitude of creators.

There is no infrastructure for pvp. For few examples:
- “Leaderboard” is a barely functional syte that is not even integrated in game(haven’t seen kitten like this for a long time). There is no measurement of skill to be found there. I haven’t played for 3-4 months, went for 1 solo, lost it to 4×5 and boom i am #53.
- No mechanic preventing 4×5. There are systems in other games that work, and anet can’t even copy/paste it. Its very simple – when the queue pops up EVERYONE has to press ready and only then you get ported to the map. If 1 does not press ready, search begins from the start until there are 10 people that are ready. This prevents a 4×5 from the start.
- No rewards for pvp. 99.9% of rewards are just pve crap that 0.01% is a crappy backpack that can be hotjoin farmed without a sweat.
- No different pvp modes for different amount of people. Will not talk about it, since the importance was already mentioned in numerous threads.
- Game doesn’t even have a /resign function
- No spectator mode for comp. pvp. Also in general the spec. mode kitten in gw2, check cs: go for a good example.
- No match record possibility
- Race advantage, since there is no UI for casts (fixed only in teamq)
- A huge amount of various effects, now even legendaries are allowed in pvp, yet combat was barely readable before.
- Map like skyham in comp. map queue
- No map voting on player side
Actually it would be easier to say what gw2 has that is good and presume that fails at every other aspect:
- A good core combat mechanic depending on the player to dodge and block instead of a % of the gear, thus reducing rng
- Everyone has the same gear/traits from the start – only skill is what matters. I should say it was, since they had a mind boggling idea of putting traits and runes that are unlocked with gold, and that goes against the main principal of what they announced before launch.
And that is it, 1 and 1/2 things that are good in gw2 pvp, quite an astonishing feat of development failure.

And you still think it is player that kittened up?

after some time its hard to play this game even for FREE

I’m the one who should be paid.

I could be productive but no no I have to wait for the blue team to reach 500 pts. 3v5 Skyhammer atm.

Dunno why im posting on this.

The amount of people who cares is more like 20 instead of 20k.
Not even gonna comment on the idea lol.

People are believing the OP was serious

What an applaudable troll post
