Guild Wars 2

The original post stated that “WvW Should NOT Be A Part Of PvE World Completion.”

In its present configuration I must agree with this. Before I give you my two cents I’d like to share just a bit of history.
I am a Guild Wars One player of 5+ years and 5000 + hours, Guild Lord, player of seven different professions, finished Prophecies, Factions, Nightfall and Eye of the North and part of Guild Wars Beyond seven times over. Titles, miniatures galore, but the one title I cherish the most is the seven Legendary Cartographer titles I hold. Yes that means I explored Tyria 7 times and enjoyed every last moment of it for the most part. A Tyria that is more than what you in GW2 have seen, I figure you’re seeing about 30-40% of the GW1 world at this time.

The Cartographer titles were also done quite differently as well

Continuing the history for just a bit it should be noted that to get this title you had to explore the PvP areas of Jade Quarry and Fort Aspenwood. Also in Nightfall there was the infamous Dynastic Tombs (Complete exploration of this area will yield about 1.8% to the Elonian Cartographer title track.) which if you read the mission description was not all that easy to accomplish.

Now we have GW2 which I’m happy to admit I was chosen as an Original Beta tester for, unfortunately those original test were few and then the “Beta Weekends” started. Being a PvE player I concentrated on those areas and left WvW / PvP to itself.

My surprise came when I hit 92% and realized that the last 8% was in WvW. It was off to WvW to get an eye opening experience. Here the game makers had incorporated all the dangers of Dynastic Tombs and thrown in players operating under mob rule. If you like that kind of a challenge, good for you. I have to admit I left fairly disappointed.

I’ve read this thread fairly often and if the developers read this then I’d like to make a suggestion:

Since WvW is considered to be in the mist, just as Eye of the North was considered an expansion package and not included in the Legendary Cartographer title. I suggest you use an area that already exists such as Southsun Cove, a level 80 only area, crawling with enough challenges to rival WvW and make that part of the World since it is on the Worlds surface and let WvW enjoy what ever they do there. To those who managed to finish WvW exploration give them a separate title. Just as exploration of EoN contributes to the Master of the North title.

For the rest of us give us a break will ya? I really wonder how many of the PvE and WvW players are satisfied with this present arrangement.
