Guild Wars 2

I’m just wondering one thing here.

How can a person get gems or gold witch are required for renting custom arenas trough gem store if we play sPvP only.

Will only option for pvp players be spending real money, and getting custom arena that way?
If that is true you may just adress it as Pay to Win , as it brings lot of benefits and practice space.

Am i missing something here? What is going on?

We need to be able to earn some kind of reward in pvp, if you have no reward people wont play this part of the game and that is the hard truth.

sPvP will continue to lose more and more players until there is some sort of reward for hard effort and time spent.

Now if you try to take from us opportunity and a chance of getting custom arenas with ingame currency you will lose ALL OF US, and gw2 as esport game will never see the light of a day.

Please excuse my poor/bad English.

gems were ALWAY meant to be purchased with money… gold purchase is second way if you dont want to spend real money and its very nice from devs, so the point that you cant get gold in pvp to buy gems is irelevant imo…

If gems ware always meant to be purchased with money then we wouldn’t be able to buy them with gold . They are here for player that don’t have much time to spend on game but want to have good and nice stuff like everyone else.

And how in the hell can you say that this is irrelevant, this is most crutial thing for the future of PvP in gw2, how can you not see that?

i see that if someone want to make their own tournament, they can spend some money for it, we can call it sponsorship… or if everyone from the players who will play on the server will give some gold (in purpose of training, dueling or whatever), it wont be very expensive imo

PS: they said from the very beginning it will be rented, you could expect it

I know they said you will need to pay for Custom Arenas, but i also belived that they will in some way give PvP gamers a chance to get gems through the game.

I’m saying PvP gamers need to have same possibility of getting gems as PvE players have.

Few months before we had that option, you could have earned gems by wining in tournaments, that option is gone now and its a huge disappointment to large scale of players.

It’s already been said that there may be a way to get custom arenas outside of paying for them with gems, not now though (seeing as they need their investment into programming them return).

“There will also possibly be ways of earning these items in game through PvP in the future as well.”

I would like to see guilds be able to buy and fund them with guild influence.

It would give a needed second option to gems and allow pvp focused guilds to further define a unique character/place in the game.
