Getting the gear is part of the fun, especially if I don’t have to farm PvE for it.

This..

So much this..

Well, we sure are different then. I absolutely hate leveling, grinding, getting gear etc in any and all games and game modes. If I could have an option for it when creating a character to use the sPvP or the normal system. I’d pick the sPvP system on all but my guardian (first one), just to avoid all of that.

But I’ve argued with enough people over the years that enjoy those aspects (level, gearing, grinding, creating your own character by blood and sweat etc) that I can understand the point of view.

Just see so much hate for the “pvp amulet”, so was curious about peoples views if that amulet was exactly as flexible as you’re used to in the current system.

So to put it in a nutshell the amulet system in pvp basically makes sure that only a few playstyles are even available. So if you don’t fit with any of those playstyles forced down your throat then you are going to have a hard time. That’s why there always is only a handful maybe 6 PvP builds that a good and the rest are sub-par. In WvW because we can fine tune every aspect of our characters we can turn those pvp kitten-tiered builds into “WvW Meta Solo/Roaming Builds” that differs from person to person because their is no restriction on how to build your character in WvW unlike PvP.

That’s what is alot of WvWers problem with the “PvP Amulet” system it squashes build diversity only making sure that the most brain dead builds are good and the more complex builds are horrible. Where as of now in GW2 WvW you can absolutely fine tune any of your character to “your” preferred playstyle and again not one being forced down your throat.

The post you quoted me on was in response to replies to this:

joneirikb.7506:

To those of you that like the “build diversity” in WvW, what if they added the sPvP builds for the auto level to 80, set exotic stats, selectable sigils and runes etc. And selectable stats on all items ?

So you can go through a list and selec stats for: weapon, helm, shoulders, chest, hands, legs, feet, backpack, amulet, ring x2, accessory x2 ?

Would you still hate it ? You’d gain the ability to swap sigils, runes, stats etc on the fly. You wouldn’t need to level or buy gear to get to 80, the only thing is that it would limit you to Exotic level.

Would you still hate the build diversity in that case ? It would clearly completely remove the “PvP Amulet” as you know it.

The post you quoted was in response to those that prefer to actually “earn their own gear” so to speak.

I personally would like the gear in wvw to stay as is. If you thought Anet got flak for what wvw was like a month ago, just wait for what it would be like if they made the build system like pvp. :/
