Guild Wars 2

Please allow players to earn XP while PVPing. It would bring so many more players into PVP, and it would be really great to level toons through PVP. The XP doesnt need to be awesome, but some progress would be nice.

What?!!

Giving a real & useful reward to PvPers?

You must be crazy

well, in gw1 there was exp in pvp. fact is u had to be lvl 20 (max) to join pvp (afaik), so the exp u earned was just to unlock more skill points to unlock skills (pve characters in pvp). but i think some kind of “skill point exp” would be nice.

mixing pve and pvp games in general is a bad idea. look at wow, they share gear between to and open world fight, and now everyone there is crying because balancing needs of one aspect of the game is ruining the other.

keep gw2 for pvp for sheer fun of doing it and skills . if you want to see big numbers, goodie bags, thats pve. i dont see how you can get two in one without killing it for pvpers. youll have to intro gear progression, restricted territories, sthing other then skill will enter the equation and that will ruin it for pvpers.

It would give casual players a reason to come back and try sPvP out. I think you’d need solo queue and better matchmaking in place first though.

I think xp for spvp is a good idea.

I think xp for spvp is a good idea.

its a good idea at first sight, but do you have specifics how this is to be implemented?

for, depending how you do it, you’ll get lvlers starting xp farming and botting pvp. pve ers will complain that pvp lvling is killing open world pve experience, questing and dynamic events, that pvp levelers are getting free lvling ride. pvpers will be unhappy about lvling bots or unskilled level-only teammates.

one can talk more if you have specifics, but it has been said many times that separating pve and pvp games helped make gw1 (havent played myself) a great game, and this makes sense.
