Guild Wars 2

1. The WVW XP is too low, waaaaaay too low.
In the original pitch for this game, it FEATURED that you can level completely in WVW. That is true is will take 2 years to complete at the current level of XP.

2. The cost to repair gear in WVW should be ZERO…….
This promotes play for all levels.

3. There is ZERO money made in WVW yet you charge for gear repair? WTF?

4. The gear drop is WVW is laughable

5. Please come up with SOMETHING other than just the joy of playing PVP for people to wait an HOUR in ques for WVW. How about rare drops of who cares what. Rare eye liner, who cares? SOMETHING.

You have done so many things right in this game, please don’t get lazy now.

I’m not sure what you’re doing in WvW but I think the XP is fine.

Just like PvE the main XP doesn’t come from killing mobs or players. It comes from completing events, like taking keeps, towers, defending territories, taking sentries.

Doing those things I get anywhere fomr 5%-25% of a level. I usually get money for doing those things as well.

I will agree that the gear drops aren’t great. I get a lot of basic white items.

1: you’re doing it wrong. On average I got a level every 20 minutes in WVW. If you’re looking to grind levels from WVW alone, however, that’s not the point of WVW.

2 and 3: You get tons of money in WVW if you’re playing it right, and therefore gear costs money to repair. I always leave with more money than I entered. You need to stop following the zerg.

4: This I have no comment on; grinding for gear in WVW was never advertised, though I’d like to see some nice items once in a while.

5: This would be a bonus, but right now I actually enjoy WVW as it is, though the queue times should be shortened, I agree.

Read my thread i think you will enjoy it and hope they add it

Uhh.. 4 lvls in 1 and a half hours, at lvl 13-17 is too slow? made 57 silver? thats too slow? try capturing points with a group of people. did i mention also 3.5 k karma, thats on my alts. Did you know that the Xp gaind scales with lvls as well as the drops ?

Also, are you aware that the repair prices also scales with lvls? at low lvls it takes a few copper peices to repair, as opposed to a lvl 80 which has to spend at least 1 sil for a minor repair.

The PVE XP is good but….when the game was being hailed by NCSOFT and ArenaNet, they bragged that PVP XP would put you at 80 without issue and then you get the current rate, that is foul. I get MANY kills with WVW but virtually zero XP. Seriously take a look at kills VS. death and getting gear repaired in regards to money. So you get 35XP per kill for WVW with a ZERO assist XP. So if you don’t get the kill shot (from what I can tell) you get ZERO XP. I play a Ranger and get huge amounts of damage on multiple players but virtually no XP comes from it. I can level in PVE every 30 minutes but it takes hours and hours to get a level in WVW. That seems very wrong to me since they claimed you can get from 1-80 in WVW.

I was getting much faster XP in WvW than I was leveling in the Orr zones.

Like I, and others, have said. The WvW XP isn’t meant to come from killing people, it’s suppose to come from taking towers (~14% of a level) taking keeps (~25%) and other events (sentries, supply camps, dredge, ogres etc.) ~5%+ of a level.

Yes if you just run around with a zerg killing a few players at a time leveling will take forever. The same exact thing is true for PvE, if you just farm mobs leveling will be slow as kitten. If you complete dynamic events you get XP, Karma, and money.

Spend less time killing other players and spend more time completing objectives.

Edit to add: I play a ranger and I went from 54-60 and 74-80 in WvW. I did it a lot faster, easier, and more enjoyable than it would have been killing millions of Risen in Orr.

You’re doing in wrong may as well say “Go back to WOW.” I enjoy WVW, as listed in my posting, and I don’t die very often. I 100% do nothing wrong. Maybe the key to this ENTIRE thing is that I am not getting my loot. How about just giving the loot without having to find the tiny loot bag??
