Guild Wars 2

Why is it possible to have our PvE stats obsolete, and instead have an amulet, rune, and sigil of our choice, but not have our traits separate from other game modes? Is this an issue that requires technology Anet doesn’t possess? Or is it something that is just out of the question for God knows what reason?

All I know is that whenever the community gets heated and aggravated with balance, time and time again we get the same answer: “Balance is an iterative process (apparently 4 times a year now, previously 2), when considering WvW, PvP, PvE and fractals/raids”

If these other game modes are so hindering to PvP development, why in the hell are you pumping hundreds of thousands of dollars into esports when you can’t even balance the game PROPERLY?!?!

Seperate PvP all together so we can finally please, pleeeeeeease start moving gw2 pvp in the right direction. We were super close to balance last meta, some may argue that we achieved it, but with heart of thorns, its gone to dust.

As a side note, GW1 had an amazing PVP structure and was also kept separate from PVE, why would this not get carried over into GW2?

To reconcile story and gameplay issues that PvP causes we can simply argue that the PvP lobby and battlegrounds are a magical (yes I said magic, within the context of the Guild Wars 2 universe magic is scientific and subject to consistent laws okay so deal with it!) computer simulation where you don’t really kill anyone (everyone respawns so death can’t logically happen).

Since we established that PvP areas are large magical VR sparring grounds we can logically separate them from PvE skills and abilities. There are our “real” canon selves and our PvP characters. So yes, PvP and PvE separation can plausibly and logically happen from a lore standpoint.

Yes please.

They’ve stated in the past that they won’t do it because of the time it would take to maintain both.
