WTF is going on with PVP?
Brainstorming in A-Net Headquarter when designing GW2-pvp:
“League of Legends has only 1 mode so GW2 need to have only 1 too to be E-Sport”
but they forget gw2 is an mmorpg and has an mmorpg playerbase and still league of legends bring a new class every 2 weeks so ppl dont get bored^^
they did not design the combat properly to allow team deathmatches, so those modes have been tested internally and they decided it is just a clusterfk and not fun to play. which is also why the only mode is conquest — because it forces your team to split up in 1v1 situations
I can only assume their official response to a question like this, “That is why we have left gw1 still up and running.” Your only feeling what I have seen and read a lot of players saying.
They also decided to make the points ridiculously small for some unknown reason. Maybe to reward spam and not skill. They have shown they can make more fun combat with bigger points like graveyard on legacy. But looks like that will be the exception
Necromancer/Casual Warrior
[Team] Best WvW guild of all time. EASILY.

I never played gw1 but the pvp in this game is a cluster kitten. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game with more cc spam in my life, and it seems Anet is completely satisfied with it.
Every spvp match i played tonight was literally who had the most cc chainers on their team won. I quit playing pvp because it was just zero fun. I hate not actually getting to play my character while every fear chainer, stun locker, evasion spammer can enjoy theirs.
Was hoping Anet would of fixed this problem since launch but I guess not, I’ll probably just stop playing permanently.

You must not have played DAOC.
There is a reason that PvP is the least popular GW2 game mode. It is boring. Fortunately, ANET seems intent on wrecking WvW with more siege, so most likely you’ll see more people come to PvP.
Anet, you’ve combined old school RA and TA into one cluster-kitten of a kitten show. WHY are we limited to that POS when we used to have HA, RA, JQ, FA, AB? Even that misunderstood beast known as codex would be a welcome addition to this wasteland.
I will only answer your topic title: It’s a complete mess, that’s what’s going on.

And they forgot who really did the LOLs map was the community from starcraft, same thing happened with half life and CS and now with arma 2 and dayz.
Players want to play what they want to play not what they are supposed to play.

There does seem to be a lot of LoL in GW2.
As for maps, that would be a cool contest. Players design maps and the community votes for the best one.
ArenaNet did this type of contest for GW1 weapons.
