why isnt wvw abilities similar to pve mastry?
It was done 2 years before pve masteries…
Uh, how is it not similar to masteries? The only difference is that you have to assign available points per character (which become totally pointless once you max it out). Regarding the GUI, of course its in the WvW panel. Thats where all the WvW stuff is. Just like PvP stuff is in the PvP panel.
PvP stuff is PvP panel. WvW stuff in WvW panel. As for PVE mastery, well PvE is anets favourite child, so that’ll go into the heros panel.

WvW Forum is more competitive than WvW
As mentioned. The design and implementation of these wvw masteries was done a while before pve masteries. Just no point in wasting effort to change it. Also, it requires different “currency” to earn.

The chief difference is that PvE masteries separate the points and the exp gathering. There’s not really a mechanic in WvW where it would make sense to gather up points in a separate manner from gaining exp.
That’s not to say adjustments can’t be made, but to point out that there is a non-graphical difference between the two systems.
As to why that difference exists…it may be because one came well before the other or because the current system makes more sense in this gamemode than the PvE system.
