Guild Wars 2

Why does every PvP map have to have some sort of gimmick? Why can’t there be at least one map in the rotation that is just people hitting other people with digital weapons until they die? No trebs, no orbs, no gigantic lasers, or NPC bosses. Think about it.

Because they tried that in pre-development and everyone would just run in and blow their cool downs (specifically their elites) immediately leading to boring fights. There was no need for strategy or team coordination outside of target focusing.

No offense, but that sounds like something you were told by somebody that heard it from somebody that heard it from somebody else that heard it from the lady that was married to one of the developer’s second-cousin’s dog’s groomer. And even if it is true, I reject the whole notion. So we should all just hang out around the boss NPCs on Nifhel because fighting on the points is boring? Okay.

We should just have a PvP mode that is fighting NPCs if the actual PvP part is a snoozefest. Oh, right, that already exists: It’s called PvE. I only want to fight in PvP. The extraneous stuff has it’s moments, but I know there are a lot of us that wouldn’t miss it if it were all taken out. And no strategy or coordination outside of target focusing? That’s ridiculous. There’s rotations, playing for two or three nodes, team comps, and plenty of other nuances to a good fight above and beyond simply pressing the T key.
