Guild Wars 2

As PvP has a massive publicity machine, especially involving the weekly tournaments, perhaps WvW deserves the same?

My suggestion here is simple, a pair of half hour long twitch transmissions on Saturday detailing the previous weeks action on the various servers in WvW. This would include the state of the tables at the end of the week and individual world’s performance during that time. It could also include interviews with top WvW guilds and solo players.

This would put WvW on a similar path to what PvP is now on. To be very honest I think they are taking the income from PvP and not WvW into account. WvW players pay for transfers, a very high percentage of items in gem store and need ascended armor more than anyone else. WvW is profit for anet, far more than the devs would like to believe.

WvWers are just as loyal as PvPers, if not more so, and far more profitable than PvPers. I’d like a dev to produce figures proving we’re not. I suspect that the devs have been doing some sharp statistical trick with the data, shifting massive profit from WvW players into PVP.

Maybe the trick here IS loyalty. If they know WvW players are some of the most loyal, then maybe they feel like they can take profits from WvW and place them elsewhere, because even as they have neglected WvW for years, much of us still remain.

I think that maybe if we were to stop being so loyal, they might see that they can’t afford to keep neglecting WvW. And honestly I’m getting the feel that with this expansion, a lot of the WvW population might actually finally move on from GW2. If they take away our WvW maps and replace them with more EoTM stuff, it might be the thing that finally pushes a lot of WvW players to just stop playing, because what would be left to play for? As of right now, I’ve gone from excited about the expansion and new stuff to not even caring, because I don’t want to spend money on it while I’m watching how badly they treat the game as it already is.

Well most of the gvg guilds will move out of wvw with the expansion because of guild hall arenas, no reason to be in wvw other than zerg busting. Smaller groups will remain in wvw, would they prefer the new eotm map coming or the older borderland map though?

As for twitch transmissions on a saturday….. anet doesn’t work on the weekends, as anything broken usually gets left until monday to be fixed. If you meant player run then sure go for it. Would be nice if anet ran the wvw buffs every few weeks like they do for the spvp tournaments.

Lastly anet wouldn’t know customer loyalty if a st. bernard came and slobbered over their faces. They don’t care about veteran players, that much is evident by some of the screw ups in the last year. They only hunt for new whales if you catch my drift.

So…we all just write a bunch of really bad reviews for GW2, publicly go around and dissuade people from buying it, tell our friends it sucks, etc?

HoT? No thanks for guild halls, thanks for new karma train map, many people will just leave the game.

Dont leave before you tried it .. seems most of the feed back about the map is .. cautiously optimistic, but I want to see for myself. We got servers, and it sounds like we got a bit of room to maneuver. If you want to understand Anets reasoning look at the Competitive Gaming Video on our threads.

The Point is were way behind .. if WvW is to thrive we gotta show Anet that its viable apart from conditioning PvE’rs to kill other players on their way to the new PvP tournament prizes.

If we were more visible, better promoted in the gaming frat, they would at least listen too us.

If the idea was to start self promoting then … yes we need it

Well, servers comunities started by WvW guilds not pve guilds.

The last time this happened, there were changes made to some systems.
