Guild Wars 2

blackysharky.7581:

the only conclusion I was able to come up with was to just “boycott” wvw, not joining it anymore until anet finally pays more attention to it again.

Unfortunately I doubt less people joining WvW will do anything. If it were an important metric of the games overall performance from a business standpoint they’d do a lot more with it. The fact that it rarely gets anything done with it (in comparison to pve) is a good indicator it’s not high on the list of priorities.

Well what else can be done then? All the wvw related issues have been stated dozens over dozens of time by many different well and not-so-well known people / guilds from the community, and yet nothing to barerly maybe some little things, except eotm, has been done to fix those issues.

So it is obvious to me that there is no more reason in looking for help or answers in this forum by the devs. about those issues, but to start taking other measurements and ways to “show” my frustration by just not loging into wvw anymore.

A few weeks ago I was really happy seeing some CDI’s being held and that gave me a little hope, but then seeing how those CDI’s resulted in the devs. saying they want to remove the white swords,… I was just beyond speechles that they’d even consider such thing.

I’ve said this over and over again and I’ll say it again now. WvW is not an essential or fundamental part of the GW2 product from a business standpoint. Sure they are risking part of the population by not paying it any much attention but I guarantee the pve community keeps growing regardless of what happens in wvw.

If WvW were important to their business model they’d have a dedicated team working and releasing new maps, content, etc for wvw on a regular basis. How often does that happen?

I hear what you’re saying about not logging in but really what good would that do? It will not impact their bottom line from a business standpoint. They already have your money. You may or may not continue on with the pve content and if not… oh well I’m sure 5 more people will buy the game to fill your slot.

That’s probably true, it won’t do me or anyone else good, especially sine my server just has 1 player less participating in the fights to help out, other than that for me it will just be an game mode I will get less frustrated about because of not playing it, with no need or intend so far on the devs. part to change that anytime soon for the reasons you just stated.

But you can’t really do or well build any buisness model for WvW, since adding anything to the gemstore to maybe improve yourself further as an player in WvW or further improve maybe your keeps & towers defense or power by buying some item will be seen as p2w which would be terrible of course, there was already a huge sh** storm about that candy corn eater item from the gemshop.

So all in all we’re still at the same point again, or well at a point where each itself has to ask do I just keep playing this way of wvw for the enjoyment of huge battles but not from an PPT aspect or do I just accept the fact and play along this game mode although it’s not really made for me who wants well balanced out fights for a good PPT fight plus overall huge epic battles.

Besides that, all we can do is keep waiting until something will or will not happen wvw and just play, as always, and just ignore the forums in total since there is no point in argueing and discussing wvw related issues and other stuff since nothing is gonna happen because wvw is not part of arenanets buisness model.
