rapid team switching, why even play?

game is amazing for the most part. before I only used spvp to try out builds and play around on a new toon at 80. then i actually played spvp for awhile was alot of fun for a match or two. then the game had to rebalance the teams every 60 seconds -2 minutes. i dont minda restart but repeatedly getting switched to the opposite team, who is now down by over 200 points. basicly insta kills the fun i “was” having. so after chasing the dragon for 2 hours and not finding a match that could finish with out swapping teammates constantly ive lost all intrest in coming back. i just cant tolerate patterns like that. just wondering if anyone else finds it to be as much of a fun killer as I do?

This game should go free 2 play. Just give everyone who purchased the game $60-70 worth of gem. Everyone wins.

Anyone who plans on buying the game had already done so, Anet will get more sales from gem store. Us players will experience a increase in player activity and will solve the problem with low-mid level zones being empty. And of course, new players will get to experience this game without purchasing it.

Everyone benefits from this. Thoughts?

nota biggey but iam surprised there is no dueling option, i never dueled that much in other mmo’s but thought it was a basic feature. not haveing 2v2 arenas or what ever they are called sounds like a welcome feature to me. i think 3v3 and 5v5 takes true tactics and skill. where in “the game that shall not be named” 2v2 just seemed like a way to exploit class/level mechanics. running around a colum for constant LoS just because you can move 15% faster then youre oppenent does not count as skill in my oppinon. just got the game hopeing pvp is more fun then this forum is makeing it sound lol.

Necro minions need some serious love.

nothing wrong with expecting people to be geared and know what going on for the end game or close to end game/hi level content. doesnt mean youre an elitest or rude or anything negative, just means you dont feel like dieng alot or wasteing alot of time. I mean isnt that the point of not haveing a tank healer dps set up… the whole team has to pull there weight and know whats going on? if i wasnt geared for an instance or dungeon I hope to be informed of such lol

Hi there.

First of all, i want to point out that that i’m not beeing sarcastic here. And second, I am sorry for my bad english, i am no native speaker.

I played GW1 for a very long time, and i really loved the game, PvE and PvP.
One of the most fascinating things about this game was the lack of geargrinding. You hit max. Level and you can buy the best armor and weapons for almost nothing. That was fantastic.

The thing is, it is different for GW 2 now. In GW1, i would never ask anybody if he is good at the game or what kind of equipment he uses, because it doesn’t really matter. I would help him, and we would work together to finish the dungeon or whatever, because i knew one thing: There is no better equipment, he/she just needs some advice or help in playing the game.

But now, with Guild Wars 2, it causes me problems. When I team up with a group of players to do, for example, the Fractals of the Mists, I really wish for all of those players in my group to have exotic gear. I hate myself for thinking that way, but the difference in stats means that we could (possibly) finish the dungeon faster.

On the other hand, with non-exotic-equipped players, I feel like…those people could waste my time. Because we die more often. And I have to repair my equip more often etc.

I have not started to ask my party to link me their equipment or anything like that yet, but I think, on higher Levels in the Fractals, i would start doing so.

Sure, I could just go in and whipe a few times and have fun, but still…beating a dungeon faster is more fun that dying a lot of times, for me at least.

What do you think about that? I don’t want to do that, but I feel like I am forced to check out my partymembers right now, because of this whole difference in gear.
