Guild Wars 2

After the recent incident regarding the dev interfering with GvG, we can conclude one thing (both from Chris’s reply and the employee’s behavior).

The devs do NOT like GvG.

Before I go on, let me start my own opinion: I don’t like GvG. I think it’s stupid, and takes the essence out of WvW. That being said, who’s fault is that? I can’t blame the ones who GvG because out there, in WvW, there is only PvD and zergfests for them. GvG only exists because ArenaNet failed to make a proper environment and mechanics to support ACTUAL PvP (mechanics that have been abundantly detailed).

So to the ArenaNet employees (and I’m sure there are many) who dislike GvG, go and fix your godkitten game instead of wasting time disturbing players.

I really really wanna argue with this ….. but ….

… I can’t find enough flaws in it :o

easy. Saying the Devs don’t like GvG is a rash generalization when it comes to the ‘event’ that took place, the guy wasn’t even apart of the WvW team.. that’s like saying that the teachers don’t care about Math because the janitor interrupted a class.

If he was just the “janitor”, he would have been fired by now…

Trust me on this one, I used to be a janitor, until I got fired for being honest about something

Gaming companies like this absolutely have the same philosophy. If the employee was confident enough to voice it out loud in-game, you can only assume that it’s even more true when they talk among themselves.

Not seeing why GvG is so much of a problem. I haven’t seen that much of it, but who cares if we take a break and watch fight club for a while? It’s kindof funny and instructional to watch them fight. Kind of cool to stand around with the enemy for a bit without killing them.

is there a reason you couldn’t have used the other page for this or are you just trying to stir the drama pot

Is it really that hard to give the players a mode in which they can just kill each other?

I’m tired of sitting on siege and/or capture points.

The joys of a gvger can be compared to that of a one year old on their birthday or at christmas.

Anet being thoughtful and doting parents of WvW give it to their children and say “here, play with this beautifully crafted toy I made which will entertain you endlessly. I have painstakingly worked on this and I’m proud of it. You are obviously going to love as much as I do.”

The child has the present put in front of them and starts to tear away the paper. Anet opens the box to show them what’s inside expecting their reaction to be pure elation and delight, but instead the child spends the whole time playing with the wrapping paper and the box. WvW means nothing to them in the way it means something to Anet. The pure joy was from ripping the wrapping paper and the box which are much more interesting.

The toy is nothing special to someone who’s only interested in ripping paper.

GvG, or even numbers vs even numbers deathmatch is the endgame for a huge number I would say the majority of all serious PvPers in any MMO.

Makes perfect sense GvG was growing such a large community of outstanding players.

GW2 has complexity of classes builds and play in group fights a great meta and all classes other then ranger are viable….. it was perhaps the best group vs group MMO regarding balance, teamwork and high skill cap I have played. I played them all from DAoC to WoW multiple season deadly glad cash prize winner. If they devs just got out of the way with GvGs GW2 could have been something.

One quick question, you are using SHAME aganst the staff who is SHAMEFUL for his sincere wrongdoings.

Now tell me, who is a better person in your eyes?

GvGers are just annoying and a waste of spots in WvW and an anet official getting rid of them is a pleasant sight imo really. but as they tend to QQ alot, give them some sandbox to play somewhere in tyria already.

One can’t help but wonder whether this dev’s attitude reflects how devs speak of GvG within the company.
