Guild Wars 2

First things first I love the PvP leagues. Whilst Guild Wars 2 is an amazing game it can often be frustratingly casual and easy to achieve things so the introduction of leagues and the way they work is great. On top of that the rewards are worthwhile. Whilst matchmaking is a different issue, In terms of the league itself the only people who can complain about it are those who have gotten too used to casual and easy to achieve things, something I’m glad Anet is finally doing something about.

However I feel like the PvP leagues are corrupting a lot of players and turning them into aggressive and vile people. At the end of the day this is a game and should be enjoyed, if you aren’t enjoying PvP then just don’t play ranked. The amount of times I have seen people say: “If any of you play like noobs then I will just AFK” is staggering.

Today I played a game where a player in the other team DC’d at the start. Needless to say we won the game effortlessly and I said in chat: “I’m sorry about your DC”. I then received strong hate messages from 2 of the players in the enemy team. I was shocked and it is what led me to write this post. I don’t even need to mention the amount of times people in teams mindlessly attack each other mid game when there is still a chance to win.

So what can be done? I’m all for leagues and don’t want them to change. But I feel like the Gw2 playerbase really need to sort their sh** out. This is a game and is meant to be enjoyed. I’m sure i’m not the only one who is tired of so many people’s negative and aggressive attitudes.

You will see this in every competitive game. In game, and outside it. People hate losing, definitely when they lose something they just gained, that is human nature.

Give it a few more days you will see “Sorry, I dont play with ambers”.

You need to toughen up.

If I needed to toughen up then I wouldn’t be complaining right now about those people who need to toughen up themselves haha.

You say in your OP that you got some mean messages after a game and that’s what prompted you to make this post. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had that happen but it’s just part of gaming. I actually look forward to it because it means I get to try to say something even more aggressive and caustic than what they’ve sent me. It’s like an after game mini game.
