People don’t play PvP because its a source of income dude….
If you want to make gold, go to PvE, that is where gold is abundant…. not in PvP…
There is no point in whining about it, thats how most MMORPGS are…
its only LOGICAL that PvE have better gold income than PvP…. you actually need to buy stuff in PvE like gear and weapons, etc etc…. everything is free in PvP already…
Absolutely no reason to make PvP a great place to farm gold, this idea is terrible. Sorry, I doubt anet is following your greedy vision….
if you want gold, go farm it where its meant to be farmed.
You’re supposed to generate income while playing all parts of the game. That’s what “play your way” is supposed to mean. Nowhere is it written that gold should only be generated in PvE.
PvP players also like to buy better looking armor and weapons. They too like to gamble in the mystic forge. Like everyone else. Why should PvP players only “play for fun”? They need equal rewards.
I +1 gold farming in PvP. There’s no difference between PvP goals and PvE goals.
“play your way” does not mean “you can get rich beating up noobs in PvP”
BTW, You are generating income while PvPing (reward tracks, rank up boxes, 50s per match lol)…. just not NEARLY as much as PvE does….
If you want money, go farm silverwastes. Nothing beats it in terms of gold/hour
Don’t expect PvP to even come close to PvE gold/hour ratio. Get real.
Your whining is pointless. PvP is NOT meant to be something you farm income…. its meant to play versus other players and see if you are better than the other….
I don’t want PvP to become littered with bots trying to farm gold , which is what you want. you want income to be as high as PvE …. thats bloody stupid. I’m glad anet is not making it that way.
Thats the last thing PvP needs – a bunch of scrubs coming in with little to no skill in PvP , just looking to get gold. That’s not what PvP is about – in ANY MMORPG. Get out and go play PvE if you want massive gold income.
The PvP system enforces a 50% win ratio. So the “beating up noobs in PvP” doesn’t apply. You’re always gaining gold at a constant rate no matter how good you are (unless you’re at the very top).
“Play your way” implies that you’re not significantly worse off doing some content than others. If one game mode gives a lot more gold than the other, then there is no “play your way” because people will gravitate towards that which pays the most.
Also, you don’t get to decide why people PvP. You can’t say “PvP is not meant to be something you farm income”. Where is the citation for that? Did Anet say it? Who said farming must only happen in PvE? Where is your reference?
Anet didn’t say it verbally, they said through their actions when they implemented each system with a specific set of rewards…. Anet has been “saying” it for 3 years now, not my fault you don’t seem to get a clue….
Stop being completely illogical.
“play your way” was a BS saying and it doesn’t mean what you think it means so get real. Stop being a little child and expect things to be your way. You don’t get to design and make rewards for the game.
I want that fractal sword skin, should It be logical for anet to add in as reward for killing 50 players in sPvP or something? because that’s essential what your logic is asking for.
NO ONE steps into GW2 PvP in hopes of “farming gold and loot and becoming rich through killing players”… its not LOGICAL for a PvP game mode to offer rewards that are better than or even close the PvE game mode…. they are COMPLETELY different modes…. You EXPECT to get things like champion bags, specific loot like teq hoard/frac skins, etc when you play PvE…… not in PvP….
It’s not happening, move on. There is no logical reason for PvP income to be on par with PvE…. you are not entitled to high gold income because you prefer to kill players in PvP than farming PvE….
NO one plays their way, you play the way anet has the systems in place.
“I wanna kill players in PvE maps, I can’t play my way!!” See how stupid that sounds??
You seem to be confusing what is, with what should be. You say “its not LOGICAL for a PvP game mode to offer rewards that are better than or even close the PvE”. Except that you haven’t demonstrated the logic. Where is it? Nowhere.
You say Anet’s current system is proof what what they want PvP to be. By that logic, there should never be any changes in any reward system. Ultimately things change. When GW2 first launched, we got no in-game gold from PvP at all. That changed. Which means Anet admitted that you could get gold from PvP.
We are trying to take that one step further. We want things to change. Merely pointing out the current state of affairs is not a logical reason for keeping them the same. Neither is it a logical way to deduce Anet’s intentions from the current system simply because their implementation might not have been perfect. That is why there are patches. That is why there are balance changes.
You say “There is no logical reason for PvP income to be on par with PvE”. On the contrary, there is no logical reason for them to NOT be on par. They are both the same game. They are both different modes. The default assumption is that they will be equally rewarding.
As for killing players in PvE maps, asking for that feature is a perfectly logical path. In fact, there have already been several threads asking for just this. Games change, games evolve, and often the developers realize that the current system is lacking in some way and new things need to be added.
We are simply arguing for equal gold rewards for PvE and PvP. Your arguments against it so far have not been logical.
