Guild Wars 2

That’s right everyone.

After the 500 chieve chest came in today, the reward for the 3k chieve chest was revealed and it is the Glove skin. So one could assume that you need 6k chieve points for the whole set.

As someone who really only PvPs I’ve barely made it to 2k achievement points. I’m not sure about the rest of you but I don’t see anyone who plays this game solely for PvP ever getting these new armor skins. Whereas some who just plays the game for PvE will have a much easier chance at obtaining these skins.

PvPers need easier access to achievement points or Anet needs to just change the entire acquisition of these Armor Skins for sPvPers altogether. (An Idea I had would be to have the skins unlocked at Mercenary for Gloves, Avenger for Shoulders, and Ransacker for Head.)

I’m actually pretty upset right now I have 2.2k I have an 80 and top 500 in tPvP, and I’ll never get to see that helmet because I don’t enjoy PvE. I’m incredibly let down, at the moment. Being rewarded for being mindless over skillful is about a crack away from making me leave entirely.

Don’t you love how much Arenanet stands behind saying they wanted this to be a ‘PvP oriented game’ by forcing players to do PvE in order to get rewards that can be used in PvP?

IMO, I assume they do things such as that to draw PvP’ers into PvE which is where the money is at for them because not nearly enough players are interested in their custom arenas due to not having any kittens left to give about sPvP. It’s pretty sad, really.

Well, let’s not confuse mindless play with devotion of time.. Because playing PvE is certainly not mindless and neither is PvP.

If I were to have devoted my time to playing PvE instead of sPvP, I would have much more Achievement points. That is where the problem is, why should one type of play yield higher rewards than the other? It is not fair to sPvPers that they are forced to PvE to obtain these types of rewards, whereas PvEers can just continue doing PvE content and not even have to do PvP content, but still get more Achievement points.

Also the new event that is going on right now, the only way to obtain Kite Fortunes is by random drop or purchasing on the BLTC. sPvPers have absolutely no way to obtain them other than buying them from the BLTC with REAL MONEY. Because seriously, what sPvPer actually has the gold to spend on Gem transfer..?
