Why is it not fun to play PvP in GW2
bcuz ANET lied and not every class can fulfill any role. Also some classes are just good at being annoying but not actually good at anything..
Because many of the issues we brought up to them haven’t been addressed to this day (or took forever to be addressed, like the sPvP reward issues), because ANet uses whack-a-mole balance and prefers revolutionary balance over evolutionary balance, because many of their promises to different classes have yet to be fulfilled (the one that sticks in my head is the Thief P/P buffs that ANet promised in May), because ANet uses some extremely obscure and vague methods of balancing that virtually nobody in the sPvP community understands, and then implies that we’re incompetent because our theorycrafting has no bearing on reality when in reality it predicts the effects of different balance changes.
Times when it’s just annoying and not fun for me:
Match starts with uneven teams.
Necros autoattacking in Lich Form for 3.5k+
Eng’s CC’ing your kitten in a node, or spamming nades
3 or more of either mesmers/mm necros/spirit rangers on one team
Don’t tell me there are counters – there might be. But going against those just ruins the fun for me.
Red circles heal you. Just relax.
Boring meta, lack of depth, meta specs that pretty much play themselves like an auto pilot, and no hopes for the future because anet keeps adding passive skills and traits (100% against what the community wants and the game needs). I actually didn’t have frequent 4v5’s in the last time I played, it’s just the meta builds that make the game annoying.
Don’t want to copy/paste so…

We didn’t always have such linear meta builds.
When something is under-powered, ANet usually over buffs it and makes it OP.
They have done this enough times that there are overly buffed specs and classes that dominate PvP at the moment.
…but…it is fun to PvP in GW2. The PvP system is not perfect, sure, but the core mechanics are really fun.
One of the biggest issues for me is the progression of PvP is just slow. It should not be taking this long to fine tune bugs, exploits ect… We should have more skills/weapons/sigils/runes ect… to choose from by now. There should be more modes/tourny’s in game, not 3rd party tournys with no incentives. Also, I will say it again. EU and Na servers should all be combined for cross play.
Because I’m lagging due to my bad internet connexion!

cause every match i have to face 2-3 warriors per team and arenanet dont even care to balance anything
Too much emphasis on player vs point and not player vs player.

Sound like you should try “pvp” in wvw instead ?
all those 3 are not that good except Mesmer which you can run away from them easily.

Again, annoying, not about able to counter/play around it.
Don’t like to run around so much in wvw.
Red circles heal you. Just relax.
spend so much time nerfing thieves because the cry of wvw players and forget to fix the game.
