I’m sure this has probably been suggested and maybe off topic but if they want to make money off of WvW then why not make some armor and weapon skins that can only be used in WvW (purchasable via gems). A few suggestions to make WvW have more repeat value are make EB larger, maybe make 3 new smaller maps that fall outside EB but between the borderlands maps and are like 1v1 maps and only the 2 servers whos borderlands they are between can battle on. Also they could add some dynamic events that happen in maps that give you the orb buff if your server is the one who completes it first on that map (now that orbs are gone) but only make it happen a few times a day and the buff only last like an hour.

WvWvW is the best feature of GW2.

SPvP is CS/CoD with fantasy chars. ANet wants sPvP as a top feature because of online game competitions like World Cyber Games (DOTA 2, FIFA, Starcraft 2, etc).

WvWvW is what will keep people playing GW2 after achieving everything in the game. So, in my opinion, ANet should invest more in WvWvW and make it more rewarding.

Thanks and best regards,

- Siege equipment that requires slightly less supply to build.

- Personal supply caches that allow people to scrounge an extra 10 supply once every 15 minutes or so, working similar to the repair canisters.

That’s bordering to pay-to-win too much. Anything close to that will instantly have me stop playing, and I think others would do the same.

GW2 isn’t a cash shop model game, it’s a hybrid of cash shop and title purchase. I paid 55 euro for the game and that’s almost 4 months of sub time for a subscription based MMO. You’re not playing GW2 for free, you paid for it, and there is no justification for this game to ever sell power in the cash shop.

This is my take on it. I hate the fact that WvW is a gold sink in the first place. Because cash=gold through gems I was always against it. It would be horrible if they made it even worse by trying to monetize it more.

If they want to sell me anything else (aside from maybe another character slot or two in the future, since I’m an alt fiend) they need to get to work on some expansions, maybe a new race, new class, housing, or similar. Because I won’t buy gems to turn them into gold and I sure won’t buy pay to win junk for PvP. I like World vs World, not Wallet vs Wallet.

sPvP just doesn’t interest me and I played hundreds of hours on SWTOR doing Warzones.
