Guild Wars 2

Why should anyone wait for match making, and ladders in January? Match making should of been here post launch, if not.. At least a month after launch. This is why sPvP is dropping players consistently. What do you guys think about having to wait, again after the PvE players are catered to?

To be totally honest, dissappointed. I look to the effort and results put into PvE and I am constantly impressed and amazed. I look at the updated patch notes for the pvp side, and on paper it looks impressive with at least 10+ changes for each class.

That is until one realizes that they are so minor and affect core gameplay so little, that it seems almost pointless. Rampant bugs prevail in pvp, while in PvE if something is found that is exploitable (Plinx) it gets nerfed to the ground within days of it becoming an issue.

I have come to spend less and less time in Pvp as time goes on simply because it honestly feels like they could care less about me as a player in that aspect of the game.
I will wait, but at the end of the day, it will be on other games, doing other things, until Anet can figure out what direction they want to take pvp into.

i still enjoy other parts of GW2, so i dont have problem with waiting for rating and ladder… but if i wouldnt like PvE and WvW, i would probably quit long time ago, at least temporarily…

I play this game because there is nothing else out that I want to try. As soon as that changes this game is gone. The developers can keep their stealth BS. If Thieves and Mezmers are buffed next patch I’ll be out that much sooner.

The way I see it, it was either release a workable game in september, or make everyone wait till the new year, I also think that the betas would only help so much for testing some of the features in this game. The amount of beta testers is a miniscule fraction of the game’s population.

Its quite simple why PVE gets lots of attention and PVP gets none. PVE has a much greater chance of earning money, whilst PVP has almost none.

With that in mind, you can see why PVP is doomed to fail and PVE should be good for a while yet. Having an in game market is all well and good, but anything that the cash cow doesnt effect is always going to be a much lower priority.
