Guild Wars 2

The GvG scene is pathetic. GvG guilds think that GvG is 20v20 smashing #1 and dropping AoE at their feet with one small gank party off pin. Its not a GvG at all. Its a team deathmatch with friends. There really is no difference between GvG gameplay and courtyard in spvp.

Until there is another objective other than to just kill the other opponent there will be no such thing as GvG in GW2. Stronghold is probably the only thing close to GvG.

GvG in the WvW arena
Obsidian Sanctum or behind the Windmill in WvW.
You want to host GvG on your borderland have at it. You come to my BL and have a GvG that takes up space where we are roaming – especially if you kill a yak or take a sentry – then you get the zerg.
Sanctum or Windmill.

The issue here is we’re having a lot of people giving their opinions on something they know entirely nothing about.

PM me around prime time tonight and you can try smashing #1 and lopping AoE at your feet against my guild. We’ll tromp you and farm you for bags 15v30. I’ll give 39g if you win.

As for gvg in gw2 simply being deathmatch; it is. If you want wvw battles and objectives then you can go build some catapults and knock around some yaks. I’m sure gw1’s gvg was pretty good, I don’t doubt that its gvg was. However, if you’re going to say gvg in this game is easy then I invite you to beat any reputable guild for even one round. Regarding NA, here’s a list: [FUN], [EP], [Agg], [HOPE], [Syn], [IX], [Hymn], [DUI], [BMO], [NS], [PYRO], [RET], [Ark]

As the video above shows, gvg is not running forward mindlessly spamming 1. Other than giving examples and offering to beat you guys silly, not sure how to convince a lot of you guys that gvg’ing is not the same as wvw blobbing. GvG is a fun game mode, and in certain perspective the most fun in Gw2. Many people agree, including the many many guilds who participate in gvgs.

gvg in this game has ZERO SKILL especially compared to gw1 gvg. Lets all stack on 1 guy and melee train as we spin our wieners in circles and hope the enemy dies
