Guild Wars 2

I just want to add my fuel to the fire here. This culling system needs to be removed from PVE ASAP. I don’t care if I only see skeleton models, when I do zerged events like Plinx in Cursed Shore, I need to be able to see the monsters around me or I can’t get credit for the event, can’ t get loot/XP/etc. While you’re at it, let me turn off freaking spell effects! Implementing the proposed culling solution for PVE should be exactly the same as for WVW just without the high-end character model option which no one needs during zerg events. Nameplates only would be perfectly copacetic.

If you compare the prefixes available for SPVP gear to PVE you’ll find that in SPVP there are 10 options for amulets/jewels, but only 7 for PVE.

Some correspond 1:1 like Berserker’s, Rampager’s, Cleric’s. Others are PVE only like Explorer’s (Magic Find is obviously useless in SPVP). But there are three from SPVP that are lacking in PVE. Shaman’s, Soldier’s and Celestial.

I’m specifically concerned about Soldier’s as those are the exact stats I want, but why are those three missing from PVE?
