Guild Wars 2

Obviously no one can agree on this matter so here is an idea that would fix everything and make everyone happy. Why not add real world arenas where pve gear is used and then spvp arenas for tourny and rank where its pure skill and not progression.? This way everyone gets the light of the world and enjoy pvp the way they want to. I’m sure people do not like WvW because it’s so big and rely’s on massive party coordination
( some people like to keep to themselves) and others don’t like spvp because there is no progression the world is locked to itself and you don’t see much benefit because some people just don’t care how they look. It’s also more of strategy than brute force and people prefer more of the personal player kill where you have to fight and not run away. Then of course you have those who want gear to matter in Pvp because they want to feel a reason for those long grinds of glory or feel like they get stronger as they progress so there becomes the pyramid scheme where only the best geared fight the best geared and so on and so on down the chain. And at last we have those who want death matches where it’s just an all our brutal fight to the death and nothing more. These features of the 2 new arenas would not only satisfy everyone but also bring back some of the old touches in Gw1 where a lot of us old Guildwars veterans spent months in the arenas. It would also add a better touch to the “end game feel” where people in pve can hang out after beating the game or people who just don’t like pve to jump right in and have a more broad selection in the pvp world to pick from so they don’t get so tired of the same things over and over. It could also open new doors for Arena net to host different tournaments or rewards or do anything they want. But this is just my opinion I guess well see if others view the same in the reply’s tell me what you all think.

I have a few issues with this, not biting criticism mind you but some things that immediately jumped at me.

1. If tpvp had a real world counterpart then teams would only pick ppl with max gear and free tpvp would see many people leaving if their team was significantly undergeared.

2. It would split Anets attention, from what I see from their post they have a small but dedicated group of programmers. These guys are pretty awesome but the key word is small, adding this would be an increased work load. I would prefer them to focus their efforts and more important things, like hosting competitions and having a tpvp world ranking system.

3. I feel it would be dead. Not to generalize but most when most ppl talk progression in pvp they want to be able to have an advantage on ppl with lesser gear. Why would players want to spend countless hours of being ganked to have the same experience they do now.

WoW forces you play with worse gear to get gear that would prevent you from getting ganked, GW2 offers an equal playing field already. Were is the incentive to play with inferior goods?

Anet is the first mmo to do skill > gear (well Ultima Online at one point was like this also, and I’m sure a few other games have been similar)

Pvping with real world gear is just silly. If people want an advantage and there’s plenty of mmos that will provide you with pve gear support.

MarineKingPrime doesn’t get exra scv’s at the start of a starcraft game because he is a top 100 Grandmaster, and TSM TheoddOne doesn’t start with 200 extra gold at the start of each lol match.. Anything in this way would be bad for anets future plans for esports.

If we get arenas, the last thing i’d want is for it to use pve gear.

I see where you’re coming from, but we do have WvW. And i dont want them to work on extra pvp modes that use pve gear. Rather have them work on those arenas that use gear from glory.

srsly try making a thread where there is space between ur sentences.
Heard about enter?
