Guild Wars 2

Im primarily a PvP player in MMOs, I enjoy the odd dungeon or raid but my passion is PvP. the biggest reason I still play this game is because I have a blast running with my guild in WvW and would love to get into structured more but right now im leveling a new toon, so that means no structured until I hit 80 which is a bummer because I enjoy the structured PvP in this game and would do it a lot more if I was able to level my toon in it.
I understand the reasons why they have gone this route by completely keeping it separate in hopes of making it an e-sport and making it so you don’t get a bunch of afkers looking to get xp while away from the game but there are other ways to fight that and I think its clear that they missed the bus in regards to the whole E-sport aspect.

so why not make it so you can level toons in structured PvP and gain XP in doing so. If they did that I think you would see a lot more people joining in.

Please A-NET add XP!!!!!!!

I agree. Believe it or not all of my guild. (All but 2 of us) left the game because of that very reason.

I love the PvP in this game… however if I could somehow choose XP jars or something for a daily/monthly PvP reward or something similar… Id do more sPvP.

About missing the whole E Sport boat.. I dont think so. I know if I worked at ANet Id be pushing for them to release ONLY the sPvP side of the game as say a 5 dollar game on steam. Would have a nice influx of players that way.

If they left because of no XP, then they didn’t really like sPVP to begin with.

Maybe this is a stupid question but what’s the point of leveling in PvP? Am I completely missing something here?

Here are the reasons why I think Anet doesn’t want you to gain huge amounts of XP in PvP:

• Has no influence on PvP at all. => Doesn’t matter.
• If you play PvP first and then start playing PvE it would be even easier than it is right now since you are already high level. => PvE is even more “faceroll” and would be less fun since you automatically start with a high level char.

The only reason why XP in PvP would be nice is for WvW. There would be less disadvantages for PvP players compared to PvE players once they start playing WvW.

In the end it would spoil PvE though since you don’t need to level anymore. Believe it or not, leveling is a huge part of the PvE content even though it doesn’t seem like it. Just imagine starting with a max level char in PvE. It would be boring.

If ever they provide XP in sPVP, people will then start demanding gold too. Because they can’t afford stuff for PVE/WvW by just doing sPVP

I support buying XP Jugs via Glory. They already have the icon and tool tip basically just color it yellow. Might help to get more PvE Players into sPvP and sPvP Players into PvE.

xp would be cool because some ppl js dont like pve. i think 20 ranks = 80 lvls.
pvp has 0 rerward apart from js being competitive and doing tourneys. and if ur nt good enuf 4 tourneys or a team its useless.
pvp needs some bigger sort of reward. personally, gems were awesome!
paid tourneys rocked. i guess ppl js werent good enuf for it to b implemented nd enjoyed fully…

Leveling without using crafting is a horribly dull process, especially if you have already leveled once with map completion.

give us tomes of experiences for spvp dailies & monthly.

each tome +30% exp bar

I guess I can only speak for myself but I don’t imagine I’m the only PvP player that enjoys both WvW and sPvP. sure on the sPvP side you don’t need XP or gold for that matter which is fine if you only intend on playing sPvP from now until the game is shut down but for guys like me who like both I need to atleast have some option of leveling a toon through methods I like, that being both WvW and sPvP because I feel that I really need to be a true 80 in WvW or I am a liability to my group. ok people will say "you get upleveled to 80 and anyone is viable in WvW, and if your group thinks you are a liability you should run with other people, yadda yadda yadda, we all know that is BS. an upleveled 80 is meat for the slaughter against a fully geared true 80.

so now im stuck with either playing the market, jumping on one of my other 80s to run dungeons over and over and over again or farm mats endlessly bored out of my mind to make money so I can craft my way to 80 and learn nothing from the process or grind my way through boring kitten PvE content that ive already seen more than once and would rather pull my hair out than see again. Id much rather spend my time in something I enjoy and learn the class in the process while leveling. not giving us the ability to atleast spend glory on “jugs of XP” or “bags of gold” is leaving me with no way to level my character other than ways that are insanely boring to me and at this point may lead me to another game that gives me this option.

perhaps u might find better replies if you ask in the general forum.

folks here are a bit too sPvP focused.

A player asked why should XP be given to spvp? because it reduces the disparity between should I PvE lvl or should I PvP rank lvl with my one toon? The precise point regarding face rolling story mode after achieving high lvls in spvp is pointless because all area’s of the game are lvl scaled and a player still needs to play through story mode and acquire gold for armour etc upgrades. It makes sense that XP be offered. A lot players are stating they’s just prefer a glory vendor where they can buy skins and items such as XP jars, silver coin Jars, glory boosters etc. Especially if you look at apprentice light armour..there is no way to make it. You just need to purchase chests and keep opening them until you randomly get the pieces awarded to you. Kinda makes no sense. Structured player vs playershould = structured player reward systems.

All areas are level scaled for the purpose of not making the PvE content one use.

You’d still need money for the armor to make yourself overpowered.

Most people who enjoy PvP enough to spend little time in PvE would prefer to just WvW anyway.

I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to exp jars for dailys or random drops in chests. In fact, that’s a great idea. I’m opposed to the idea that some skins can only be acquired doing PvE, if that continues to exist then PvP should get exclusive skins as well.

No. Pvp in GW2 i separate, I want to pvp against players who WANT to pvp, not pvers who are just there to farm experience and don’t give a kitten. NO. Go away.
