Guild Wars 2

Esafiel: “….i wish gw2 would stay this way forever…”

I read this in the dev stream and realized we’ve been mistaken this entire time, it’s not that they won’t update PVP… it’s that they simply cannot. You see this innocent child wished upon a shooting star on a silent night, his wish was that GW2 PVP would never change. His wish was granted.

This is gods work at hand thanks to the pure heart of Esafiel and not even arena net can defy the will of god. But don’t worry while PVP won’t change, leaderboards and spectator mode are still options because… well, they change nothing.

Haha, i knew the steam would annoy the PVP crowd a lot. I used to consider myself pure PVP, then I realised it was never going to get much better.

As to the ranking and matchmaking. Imagine this very board made a football team, we would be crap in the world cup. Then putting a ranking system in place, it would still be a crap team. Ranking or not, the problems will continue on, wicked strong or not.

I think the stream just confirmed what a lot of us feared, that they have little inclination to make PVP any better whilst it brings in no real money. Once they have a way of pumping cash out of it, then we can expect some kind of change. Next year perhaps, with an expansion, which we can pay for. And it still will not deliver what was promised before release.
