Guild Wars 2

I am saddened to write this forum post.. I had been hoping that the day would not come when i would have to say goodbye to 5 high end pvp friends at once.. They put up with enough, always had their hopes up, stayed positive until the end.. But they couldn’t deal with being Arenanets Second hand last priority citizens anymore.. 5 really great pvpers are leaving this game, they believe the patch was not enough. A step in the right direction, sure but after months and months of waiting for drastic change to fix the Tpvp side of this game it was not nearly enough..

On the first day of the new patch they have already decided they will be taking a break after the upcoming vVv tourney.. I can only speculate how many more will join them in the upcoming months of waiting and hoping that arenanet will finally deem us worthy to care.. Will we ever make as much money for them as Dragonslaying Pve Hero’s? Probably not.. Will we ever waste as much money as those creepy Roleplayers with their fancy townclothes and weird outlook on life and this game? Probably not..

What we can provide, is a massive influx of new level headed PvPers with the sole goal of making this game a competitive Esport, this game has amazing fluid and mobile reactive combat.. It has the potential to be amazing, to rival LoL and Dota, if Anet invests more thanjust 2 people into the Balance team.. Once they put effort into balancing pvp people will be attracted to this game.. If they care enough to give us the 2vs2’s, & 3vs3 deathmatches we have been screaming for.. Give us these new game modes we have been anxiously awaiting.. They have been promising us a revamped rewards system for the last 6 months, but yet again they fail to deliver.. Give us amazing rewards to rival the Roleplaying and Pve Hero’s, allow us to step into Pve As a level 2 and look cooler than the Roleplayers..

If they invest into monthly Arenanet sponsored tournaments and spend cash into us the PvP community, they will be rewarded by massive sales.. This Game has the potential to be great.. & it saddens me that patch after patch more of my friends leave, because they cannot handle waiting around another 4 months hoping arenanet will actually do something to contribute and Fix Structured pvp in this game.. it saddens me to see Anet squander away and slowly kill the pvp community. WvW is a joke and it’s Anets Love child, sure they get Seasons and what do we get? Nothing..

Evilapprentice used Hammer and Chisel! It was super-effective!

I agree with you sentiments but break up your post a little or else most people won’t read the whole thing. Lol Evilapprentice.

Jealousy gets us nowhere. FYI, the WvW forums feel the same way (lol). They’re convinced that Anet is pushing esports and that takes resources away from WvW development. I’m not making this up, people actually believe this.

I’m sorry about your friends. People leave games all the time for many reasons. In the end, twenty years from now no one will be playing GW2. I think it still has a lot of great life left in its run but no game is a be-all end-all.

I wish i had 5 friends

I agree, I am very disappoint as well. A lot of us had high hopes and patience for ANet to get their act together but actions speak louder than words. One year of pure Conquest with poor balancing changes have made GW2 stale after playing it for a year.

I swear ANet is similar to that guy you heard talking to this girlfriend:

“Please don’t leave me baby, I’ll changes!! Please give me another chances!” Meanwhile, nothing changes.

Yup, we are the women that have been believing this lie!

Rival LoL, Dota 2 or HoN? Uhm, not sure. When it comes to being fast paced, yeah, ok. But synergy, tactics and team-play? Not so much imho. Look at some of those “Dota 2 Top Plays Weekly” up on Youtube for some really nice team combos. I feel it’s more fun to watch Dota 2 or HoN matches than GW2 matches. LoL? Ok, that’s really lol

Most intelligent people left this game at least when they told there will be no expansion and introduced time gated grinding content like ascended gear, just for example.

It basically means there will be no meaningfully large chunks of new content, like ever. No new pvp forms, no new areas, no new anything special. And if you want high end stuff for your pve/wvw heroes you need to go buy gold (to cover all that leet cost for materials) with gems, which again, cost real money.

If I didn’t just enjoy casually bashing something without further meaning while waiting for ESO or something else maybe possibly playable, I wouldn’t be posting here :p It’s a shame a game with a lot of promising features feels so kittened and frustrating.
