You can make more money streaming Toontown than Guild Wars 2.
ArenaNet is just so blind to have bad their situation is, they are not even aware how much of a joke Guild Wars 2 Esports is now. They fail to understand you cannot have big problems and be successful. Unbalance, bugs and people exploiting are serious issues that will drive away the community.
Guild Wars 2 is going to kill its own Esport potential.

Probably because of marketing.
eSports is a big business word at the moment and very few take it seriously anymore
How can anyone take it seriously? $400,000 was spent on a stream that netted around 2,500 viewers. Someone in ArenaNet really needs to understand their choices are dumb.
ArenaNet would make more money making a fancy CGI video than EEEEESPPPPUUURTZ
I just don’t understand since there are already tons of esports game offering higher money pool than this game already.
Tell me the reasons with rationale plz
The reason some players want it to go e-sport:
GW2 unique action-oriented, third-person play mechanic is the best combat out there and we would love to see it taken seriously and present with balance and respectable features found in the best PvP games (LoL, DOTA2, etc..)
The reason ArenaNet (presumably) wants it to go e-sport:
Marketing and the lure of new players to this side of the game
They know they have something special, they just don’t realize it needs to be spinned off from the MMO or it will never be taken seriously. It will never get the chance it deserves. It needs a lot of work before it gets there, regardless.
Well hope they get tired of implementing esports stuffs, and stop opening any kinda further more tournament anymore.
It is just my personal hope. i just don’t like esports. And that is why i play mmo instead of moba.
I really don’t understand the toon town thing.
Like, wow. A semi-popular person (with a following developed from previous streams not related to the game), did a steam with toontown in it.
Isn’t the fact that runescape has 6000+ viewers nearly 24/7, in comparison to GW2, much more pathetic?
Oh, wait. It isn’t.
Because by that logic, super mario is worse than Runescape, and who the hell is dumb enough to argue that?

This.
Now if SW:TOR, ESO, and Wildstar where putting up much larger numbers 24/7 then we would have cause for concern because those games are actually in the same genre.
Toontown is a entirely different genre covering a entirely different market. It would be like trying to compare WoW to Minecraft.

It’s not about comparing games, it’s about comparing popularity. For developers trying their hardest, spending thousands of dollars to make their PvP game Esport material in advertisements, prizes among other things, yet, they are getting outclassed in views by games that are over 20 years old. Being outclassed by games that are not very good. Is pathetic.
It doesn’t matter what evidence is presented, the team that is responsible for Guild Wars 2 combat has failed and the refuse to get any help plus ignores everything presenting their way. Thei illusions that they know what they are doing is going to harm Guild Wars 2 in all areas of the game, not just PvP.
