Guild Wars 2

I wish they either used MMR or the pip system, the mix of the two is just brutal. If I’m facing people who are rated in pip tiers above me and getting a 50% win rate, I should be at that pip tier. Instead I can’t move effectively and am punished (in terms of tier progression/legendary progression) by having a higher MMR. It just doesn’t make sense.

The fact that they say no won’t stop this feature from being a popular one. I am in the same boat as many here. I have put a lot of money/gems into some characters and there is no way I will delete them to remake them, but at the same time I would love to have a different race for several of my classes. Even at $20 a pop I would probably change over 2-3 characters easily. I have the story mission done but would happily restart them if it meant changing race.

The more we bring it up the more likely they will add it in. It happens in ALL games with ALL companies – a popular enough feature will get added.

Just here to show my support.

Just want to throw my support in for this thread – and I agree completely with Fozzik here. I also bought gems just to show support for a game that I thought was genre changing and very much up my alley gameplay wise. I quit wow specifically to avoid the gear grind, and was just working my way up to my first full exotic set on my wvw character (yes, I play multiple characters, multiple specs).

Ascended gear took the wind out of my sails – I can’t grind that gear for every character or likely even 1 character, and I won’t play a game that takes that option away from me. At best I’ll log in now and again for sPVP, but I’m not dropping another dime into their hat unless this gets hashed out.

I’ve decided to skip the weekend event. I don’t feel like logging in.

I’m not sure when I’ll feel like it again…but even when/if I do, I won’t be wasting another dime on this game. I bought gems the first two months because I wanted to show ArenaNet that I supported the game they made, and I wanted them to fix the bugs and add more of the same great content. Instead, they took my money and used it to turn the game into something I don’t find even remotely fun, and which has sucked out my motivation to log into a game that I really, really enjoyed.

In short, they used my money to screw me over. I won’t make the mistake of paying them anything again. I hope the event is fun for the folks who see it.
