So the time has come where I’ve decided to leave serious pvp in this game and severely reduce my playing time. I know a lot of people have been asking about my guides and the updates after the patch but unfortunately I will not continue to be a part of the pvp community.
Just so people know:

  • This isn’t a “Got knocked off Clock Tower too many times, hate this game” or “Energy Sigils don’t work half the time, Treb doesn’t sound sometimes, hate this game” or anything of that sort. I’m not raging.
  • I no longer have time due to a recent promotion and my last year of uni will be starting soon.
  • I will not continue streaming regularly.
  • I will not be playing pvp or even pve regularly.
  • If I’m on you can message me and play some casual pvx.
  • I will continue coaching for the reduced price of 5g/session for a team or free for individual players.

The biggest thing that hit me a few days ago was that this is a game, I should be playing to have fun and I just really haven’t been having fun recently. Defeats the purpose of playing entirely.

I posted this here because I feel closest to the Guardian community =)
Thank you for all your support and feel free to still ask questions etc, I will ALWAYS respond.

PS. For those of you who still want to donate to me, even though my policy is no donations and I still get them, you can still donate if you really want to because I’m going to casually get a legendary.

SILVEN!!! NOOOOOOO!!!

doode. thank you SO much for your contribution to the gw2 and, especially, Guardian community! i’ve learnt so much from your guides / threads and i’d like to think, really upped my Guardian game lol. especially in the PvP setting. fancy running into you on a few custom arenas as well. ; ))

i am also glad you’re able to come to this conclusion – that it is a game, and it should be fun, and focusing on IRL stuff. grats on the recent promotion!! and banish your last year into oblivion. XDDD

which legendary are you going for? i shall contact you in game. ; )) i’ll always be up for some pvx with ya if i see you on. all the best, Silven. : )))

Havent had much contact with you (i dont socialise with the competition :-) ) but i think its awesome that you took the time to share some tpvp experience with the community.

Personally i didnt have the time and my team thought it was a bad idea but i really appriciate that you took the time.

Regarding personal life i can just agree, running my own consultant firm, with your priorities. I have alrady done the same when it comes to tpvp but i will be back when it goes e-sport and hopefully i will see you there as well.

Thx again for your time and effort.

Thanks for your time and work you’ve put into GW2 and its community!
Really appreciated what you did for it. Great guides! I’ve shown many starting guardians the way to your guide-threats.

Good luck out there!

It’s a shame to see you leave, the entire guardian community is in your debt. Thanks for the guides and best of luck!

I wouldn’t be much of an sPvp guardian without you so I appreciate what you’ve done and wish you good luck with where you’re headed.

RL is just another game. Go kill it and once the dust settles, you might find some enjoyment again.

Silven, Ty so much for all of your help. You have truly been a figurehead of the TPVP community in GW2.

Too bad he didn’t main a warrior. That forum is drowning in tears and self pity.

Best of luck, mate. I will be reviewing your youtube channel now.

Indeed. It’s better to be helpful than critical. Takes hours to compile a list of builds and explanations; takes seconds to express your derision and denial of effort made.
