Guild Wars 2

PVP in gw2 has somehow turned into a big PVE like farm, people who dont care about being competitive are coming into the arena to farm for armor/pips. They do not care about rotation, strategy and builds.

GS necros, Staff Guardians, Power Rangers.. the list goes on..

I am no longer enjoying the game. Its sad..

Welcome to the water down pvp. It has slowly gotten worse with pve pugs coming in. When they can’t kill someone like they do a monster they get frustrated. Can we please just take all the awards away from pvp and let it be about killing each other and battling and not about reward farming.

GW2 pvp wasn’t too bad at the start with pvp skins and all because that ment the pve people wouldn’t go there. It was pvp only rewards. Played pvp decently seriously on n off since gw2 launch. Now i just play in unranked because all the toxic trash people and the pve people are in ranked.

Eh pvp is ded and has no chance to recover. Even PoF wont help at this point, Deadeye will never be used in actual pvp because teefs would have to give up speed. Scourge is ok not great. The other specs are just eh. Guard got more burning and mes got more clone fun. Wow big change.

they should remove achievement and legendary stuff from just play ranked, if you want cool stuff you have to win a lot or just put all cool stuff in AT. atm ranked is simply a farm for legendary/asceneded stuff , ppl don’t care about winning , improve or teamplay and stuff. ranked simply become a joke and this is very sad cos S5 was fine , not soo good , but fine , then they just stop to make step into the right directiom amd this is the result…

I stopped caring about winning since I got my top 250 title. Now I’m just playing for fun with friends.

The only place where competition matters is in platinum. If you can’t get there with a duo buddy you don’t belong there.

To be fair it’s hard to get invested in winning when you can either solo queue or duo. We need a full team queue. It’s pretty much Random Arena and no one ever cared about random arena.

Wait so you’re all complaining about having a bunch of easy kills queuing effectively bumping up your rank and ego?

If they’re really bad, matchmaking will sort them out and put them with/against each other and you shouldn’t need to see them anymore. Unless, gasp, you’re no better than them.

Anyway isn’t this true of a healthy pvp scene that there should be people playing all kinds of builds and strategies, and the serious and meta ones are concentrated at the top, while the rest are scattered below doing whatever they want and having fun? Or should the goal be to shout at new players and hope they leave so that you’re left with the same stagnant pool of players ?
