Guild Wars 2

The Gw2 PvP community is starting to turn into dramawars. People trolling people in game and on ts3. The ugly truth about this is: bad personal PvP community is usually a sign of a game at it’s last leg. What can Anet possibly do to make this PvP become larger than life? That 6v6 tourny yesterday had a selling point for me. It was fun and showed somewhat of a skill. tPvP as of now just does not do that. What do you think they could do to make the community come back to life?

Spectator mode!

(for ranked matches)

They had their chance a while back.

I agree with OP that match with Stream Team winning at the last second with an enemy kill was easily the most exciting gw2 match i witnessed. Both teams were rushing enemy lords while there were small skirmishes in the sides to intercept the enemy split along with few players trying to hold that midpoint all while the time was steadily running down. Any small mistake would’ve cost them the game. It was an overall thrill to watch that!

Exactly. It was exciting. You could actually see tactics in real time over a constant strat. I loved it.

By that standard, WvW should have died in 2012.

Dead in beta.

Nothing wrong with some trash talk imo but ya, the community is really small and there is some serious toxic whining and griefing that is slowly becoming more prominent. Best example is all of the balance qq on these forums.

People playing PvP in a game for the first time are a reliable source of valid speculations. But seriously the GW2 PvP community is one of the friendliest on EU and I can’t tell what it’s like on NA but since this game is not very competitive chances are it’s just as cool on NA.
You all just probably forgot the trashtalk in actual PvP games.
