Lets ignore that half the maps are terrible to play on, the absence of custom games and challenging other teams, the lack of anything besides free tournaments, dueling, spectator mode, and other missing elements from sPvP.
But I still can not ignore why was this game released without any form of MMR? Moreover, who’s idea was it to allow premade teams fight against random pugs? Being completely crushed repeatedly by organized teams, and having absolutely no chance to win is not fun for either team. It’s pointless to even try for the losing team, and the winning team doesn’t learn anything or get satisfaction from such a meaningless win. That kind of a set up does not foster any sort of competitive scene for this game, and it’s honestly quite amazing that ArenaNet intends for it to be an eSport with this incredible lack of support for even the most basic necessities.
Guild Wars 2 has an amazing foundation for PvP. But it will go absolutely no where with the amount of care it is being given currently.
