People leaving..
it ain’t like that. they are trying to get people to play in this WvW season. There is no new content in PvE right now and they got rid of the rewards in PvP so that they could get more participation for the WvW tourney. It’s all good man. The sky isn’t falling.
I agree with you in a couple of points. Like ten minutes ago my guildleaders told me they don’t play GW 2 anymore because they have nothing to do in GW. For players (like me) who played a lot of GW there is nothing we can do anymore, there is no real content i could play over a long time. There are only the 2 week patches which most of the player play for a few hours and then quit the game for another 2 weeks. I personally have 8 charackters on lvl 80, Sunrise and i’ve played enough pvp and wvw that i get bored of it because there were always the same things to do. Win a capture point, hold it, get 500 points. I really need some content that is fun and which I can play for a long time.
Arenanet made a great job in this game but the progress of the patchs are too slow. It is like I can lick on a lolly one time and then I have to wait for it 2 weeks or more to lick again :/.
People leaving? Almost all of the competitive PvP-ers left in Oct/Nov 2012, with a few stragglers holding on until Late 2013.
Now is not a critical time for PvP, the critical time was 2-3 months after the game released, and that ball has long been dropped.
I say let the casual PvE flood begin on April 15th, sounds like fun to me
#allisvain
yea, it feels kinda boring now, we need that patch live! lolol
Yep.
Not leaving, more like already left.
I also stoped to play in ~ january due to a lack of time.
However, at this time I was looking forward for when I had more time to play again.
But my interest left, as I kept visiting the forums, looking, for updates but nothing happened for month.
Also the “Feature” patch seems like a big disappointement to me:
The only actually “new” thing we get is a new map which is only for Custom Arenas if I remember right.
Everything else is just a rework and the balancing is nothing you should hype, as it already is much over due.

PvEers coming in will be like lambs to the slaughter for pvpers,
and so they will all turn to the easiest builds they can find.
thus we will end up with a flood of hambows leading us in to an even more toxic meta.
but i agree it could be fun for the first day or two while variety lasts,
before they realize they can just play a warrior and roll their face across the keyboard.
when people leave others take thier places so let them leave i say.

it’s relative. gw2 has problems but…
what those ppl are leaving for? which game? where is superior mmo sPVP?
wow is old. teso is wvw. wildstar is – dunno, i havent even got interested in it. so… it’s gw2 all over again.
april 15 patch cannot come fast enough. bored outta my mind with this game lol
Guys i just share my opinion and i am talking from my side as playing since the beta of that game! Of course there is no other competitive mmos right now but is actual this worth for a game,if the developers deny so intensive to do the OBVIOUS things for make it better?
No interest anymore. That thread can be on the general discuss but i started for complaining for the pvp section!
As i see from previous comments of you guys more or less you are agree and that, lets say “pleases me” cause i am not the only whierd on that game!
I ragequitted today after playing since launch. I just can’t stand the meta anymore, I don’t say i play perfectly but I would consider myself as a good elementalist. But there is no space for us currently. Will look back after the patch but if I can’t play my class even after the balance patch I will quit this game with a bleeding heart – loved GW1, love GW2, but for the balancing right now there is now other nicer word than “crap” that fits.
It has come a critical time for the game cause if you look around you can see that people is just abandon the game.
The last year and a half in a nutshell.
Eh, no subscription, decided I could always check back later. Keeping busy with Magicka Wizard Wars for now, that is super fun if you want to wizard out in pvp while we wait for GW to get it together.
MWW is in Alpha, and added duel already. And gasp I gave them $12 you could have gotten Anet. Something to think about.
Anet failed to understand that they are their own game. Too much wanting to be an eSport and Moba caused what we are seeing today.
Anet should have just stuck to the developer code of building the world and letting the players dictate how to play in it.
Competitive PvP would have developed and actually DID develop under the system they created. If they would just listen to the players on what they want they’ll be even more successful then they already are.
This game has SERIOUS latent potential due to the game engine alone. If Ego’s would just be set aside this game could be the best PvP game on the market…..but you gotta put your ego’s away

Just because they do this doesn’t mean that they are going to play those meta builds very well.
Upcoming patch looks good, but I feel like I’m burned out on the game. Will have to see the full patch notes to make a decision.

Yeh I agree. I think the patch is about 2/3 months too late. ESO is out. WIldstar is basically in open beta and will be out soon. And this game has ground people down with just consistan frustrating and lame kitten like pistol whip (which isn’t being fixed)
Let’s see the positive side. Now they are trying to make the game better.

It’s true, every MMO dies, but GW2 ages like milk whereas GW1 aged like wine. I am one hundred percent certain that daily PvP numbers where higher in GW 2011 (six years after release) than in GW2 2014.

It took them a year and a half to, possibly, not make a patch that makes the game worse.
Woo hoo!
Maybe in another year the game can actually be put together well enough to be released.

Let’s just hope for the best because these are important changes. Better late than never.
Played Wizard Wars all night dueling. It was the jam.
I think they will be more active now,just look at them not puting perplexity runes…
Now that they are trying to push pve players into pvp, once they see and taste the imbalance and frustration the spvp players feel they will whine too on the forums and kitten will get done.
I was excited for the April 15th patch until I found out that they were forcing us to play with full amulets (even less stat customization when we needed more). There will be few builds that can make full berserker work, few builds where full soldiers works, so don’t expect any change to a condition heavy metagame. Rabid still works perfectly fine for them.

The PVE players mostly play Warrior and thief.
The only new complaints will be warriors complaining that thieves kill them.

Yeah that why they are so gentle with them regarding nerfs, imagine the QQ of all these great “commanders” and WvW heroes if they got the nerfbat
I am curious to see what the best profession will be after April 15 feature patch. My guess is warrior because of it’s simplicity and it’s marketing, but it’s just a personal guess.
Who knows, probably people will test the new features, like them, and remain for more PvP afterwards, or come from PvE to PvP as it’s intended.
Anyway, in my opinion things are improving…

when people leave others take thier places so let them leave i say.
thay said dat too when TP and others left…replacing good players with nubs doesn’t work for an esports wannabe game. They want this to be a casual game, rewarding casual players and bads in general…no wonder why old players are all leaving. There’s no point for competitive players in playing something that rewards everyone no matter skill level or time and efforts spent. They want a casual game for casual players? Fine…pvp will die (Well probably dead already) with everyone farming mobs in pve or zerging vs doors in wvsw. End of the story. Throwing veterans into trash has it’s drawbacks…and they’ll realize this soon.
I’m more rewarded playing Smite as a new player with less than one month experience than being r68, 3k hours in pvp, playing since start here….nough said i guess.

You should check wildstar. The amount of pvp there is amazing and quite unique.
I got news for you everyone moved to play more complex games like world of tanks or something else last year.

Wow is old but their pvpsystems are still a truckload better than GW2s atm. They have some quality ppl for their systems etc and anet doesnt.
Why do you think they left PvP untouched for so long? They lack the resources to do anything big/impactful or hire quality pvp guys.
Lol wows pvp is horrible and for you to compare it to gw2 is laughable. Muahahahahah

They have an MMR system that works and hardcore players that actually stay in the game. In GW2 most hardcore player despise the current state of the game and the pvp structure as a whole (ladder, rewards etc).
And they have millions of ppl still pvping in it. Doubt we even have 1% of wows pvp community pop.
