So, this is my experience of GW2 PvP … always on the losing team against hopelessly imbalanced opposition who are all bunkers and take 5 players each to kill 1 of them. That means as a team we would need a total of 15 players to kill their team. How is that balanced?!? It’s not!

And it’s like this every time, in fact I’m in a game right now! All I do these days is grab 10points then afk in the base doing other stuff outside the game, occasionally moving my character to avoid the auto-kick. It’s boring as hell.

But hey, since this isn’t “botting” it’s allowed and I get free rewards while working on stuff outside the game because PvP is boring and not actually worth participating in unless you enjoy losing all the time and dying repeatedly.

You and I have entirely different views of how PvP goes. You win some. You lose some.

Killing a bunker 1v1 is doable in a respectable amount of time, so having three people on one bunker is a bit out of proportion.

It’s a bunker for a reason. If you’re playing against five bunkers, you should never die (meaning, you should kill them before they kill you…), ultimately winning every fight and out rotating. If you’re failing to do either, or both, of these, then I believe balance is not the problem in which you are encountering.

However, it is solo queue (I assume).. so there are a lot of issues that everyone deals with. Team composition. Players AFKing. Players failing to communicate. PvErs. The list goes on.

I had it in my head that this game was “balanced” in pvp because there’s no gear advantage, no healers to ruin things etc.

But that’s just not the case at all. I’m now in the 3rd game afk again. With the 15min waiting times as well, this really is a waste of time! You queue all that time only to spend the next few mins afk anyway.

What I’d like to see is REAL balance. Get rid of these bunkers, give everyone the SAME survivability and damage. Make it about dodging, countering etc. Not trying to get the current pet-class and cookie build to win.

I hope you’re just trolling, but if not, please quit pvp.

Unless you’re in a 4v5 situation and your team agrees to forfeit the game, it’s really a-holish of you to go AFK. If you can’t handle losing that you have to go AFK, then don’t play PVP. You’re wasting everyone’s time, including your own.

Look at other MMO game’s PvP and tell me GW2 is unbalanced.

This is what you’re saying: “Make all classes easy and balanced with the push of a button so anyone and everyone doesn’t have to practice to get better.. Make every class have the same abilities and health and just call it the same name. Give it all to me so I don’t do anything.”

It happens quite often getting paired with 3 thieves while the other team has 3 warrs and 1 bunk guard. You already know when its GG even before the match starts.

Two of the thieves should probably just reroll instead of giving up.
