Guild Wars 2

Hey, what cool legendary backpack items you made and interesting fractal items. So cool. What’s that? There’s also really sweet achievement gear? Totally awesome Anet.

So, when are you going to put up the post about the really awesome pvp only legendaries and gear? I mean, don’t get me wrong, my mini lamas that I get so many comments on (laugh) is super cool and useful, but isn’t it about time that you make something awesome for the PvP players?

I mean yes, you have the tournaments that one team wins over and over for pvp, and then the glory gear that only turret engies who farmed kittenty leaderboards could get. Isn’t it about time that pvp players could show off something genuinely cool about the dedication and pride that they have in this game’s Player vs Player?

1. If you wanted shiny stuff you are in the wrong business, pvp has never really had great rewards and you should have known this going in

2. This is only 1 legendary back piece, perhaps (probably not) they will add some version of it that can be obtained via pvp.

3. You can get legendaries or atleast a substantial amount of gems by participating and/or winning the 2-3 weekly tournaments.

4. Anet already went through some changes and you can get clovers, t6 mats, meager amounts of gold, and obsidian shards from spvp. Thanks to this we have box-ception.

5. This topic has been discussed to death, you are not some sort of prophet or genius and we don’t need this thread every time they announce rewards for pve or wvw. At this point, if they are not aware of our concerns despite several higher end pvpers telling them directly face-to-face then then they will never listen to us.

I’d like to see better rewards for pvp. Granted I do have nice skins and a legendary from my former days of pve/wvw, but those game modes no longer interest me, and I’m literally throwing dungeon exotics from pvp into the forge in hopes of getting a precursor so I can have the gold needed to remain competitive in Fashion Wars 2, while still being able to be only pvp.

I mean we have the balthazar back, and glorious armor skins, and the easy way to get the super lame insect weapons, but it’d be cool if we had our own exclusive weapon skins that actually looked really awesome, that couldn’t be obtained by pve.

Umm first of all unlike pvp, fractal actually takes money and time way more than pvp does. In fact all pvpers should be grateful that unlike other MMORPGS pvpers don’t have to grind best gear to even pvp, and then no level ups. Legendaries are optional, and only skins. Beside pvpers get legendaries and lots of gems from tournaments such as ESL, Aspect GG, and AG.

Basically pvpers don’t need to spend gold to progress, so why whine about it? If you want pve rewards while playing pvp, go beat the abjured, or grow up and start your pve grind.

Until they put a working ranking system, leader boards, seasons, arena modes etc. The only rewards they could put in are kittenty grind tracks or the current method of turnies. They have no metric to currently reward skill so they have to fix that first (and that wont happen, they spent their time on kittening stronghold) PvPers getting something other than stronghold with the expo is the longest of long shots… They don’t care about us (hence lack of balance patches)

Pvp? This game has pvp?!?

Appreciate this OP’s humor and sarcasm. His posts and comments are hard to disagree with, unlike a lot of the stuff here.

I agree with this, there should be more exclusive pvp rewards. Currently there is the Glorious armor (both sets), Balthazar, and llamas. None of these really require skill to achieve. Anyone can just grind out games and get them. The only one that did require some skills was the Glorious Hero’s armor, however with the introduction of the new leaderboards that also just turned into a grind.

Titles, weapons, armor, seasons, ladders/leagues, and etc. There is so much they can do, however I doubt it’ll ever happen at this stage.

We definitely need exclusive PvP rewards. If more people raised hell over it, perhaps Anet would listen…

The gems we get take a hella long time to come, there were only 2 legendary tournies, so at max 10 people got legendaries directly from pvp while 1000s got them from pve.

So, ur answer is to beat the abjured or to do pve to get shiney stuff. Wouldn’t the pvp aspect of the game be far more fun and entertaining if more than just the 5 people on abjured could get jems, legendaries, money? Isn’t a game designed to have fun? You literally added nothing to the conversation that wasn’t already part of the satirical original post, so thanks for the response, but try again

AGREED

You are a very kind person (that was not sarcastic)

Everything you said is either irrelevant or ignorant. We’re just asking for skins, not for gear.
