What do GW1 PvP players think?
Funny you should ask. I played GW1 gvg for about 5 1/2 years nearly non-stop.
I already posted an extremely long post discussing how I feel about the game.
In short, the game is alright but it is drastically less impressive than it otherwise could have been. It definitely, at it’s current state, won’t be a game I will spend 5 1/2 years playing unless if it is very off and on.

I don’t like it because it doesn’t provide the same fun GW1 did. It feels repetitive, not challenging and very anti-team oriented.
We had a huge group from GW1 transition into GW2, we all already left.
Sad days.

Yeah, I got GW1 when it launched (even got the Collector edition <3 my glowing hands) and it was the only game I put significant time into. I played it all the way up to GW2 launch. I am only rank 11 in sPvP, but so far I feel GW2 is 10 steps back from where GW1 was and sort of wish GW2 never existed because most of the GW1 player base is playing GW2 now and wont go back.
I would trade GW2 for a brand new GW1 expansion.
GW1 possibly best pvp game I have ever played.
GW2 possibly hugest flop aside from D3 I have ever played.
I much prefer GW1 PvP.
GW2 just feels very very limited in terms of builds, skills, team work and so on.
Not to mention the lack of any proper hall of heroes and different PvP map types.
But i still quite enjoy the game.

How great it would be to have GW1 that had devs who were actually able to balance it themselves… I quit GW1 once euros dominated with hexway builds that required minimal brain usage and Anet never caught on to fix it.
O, the dream I will never realize.
