Please do not presume to speak for all players. As a PvP player, I disagree with you, and I know others that do as well.
If you want to turns this into a numbers game, please do keep in mind that the vast majority of PvP players play PvE and WvW as well. We definitely want to make the game fun and enjoyable for PvP-only players as well, but we need to keep a broader context when designing systems.
No. Playing PvP doesn’t make you a pvper. I’m so sick of dev’s tailoring the game to casuals. This game has one of the best combat systems for competitive pvp, yet you don’t do a thing to try to make it competitive.
Despite all the frustration the devs must have at the majority of the player bases QQ, a large portion of pvp’ers believe that the game is actually fairly balanced. The problem resides not within the traits, but with the complete lack of organization or effort from the players. Currently, everybody comps their team according to pre-existing specs. People overload on as much cc, and utility as they can, which completely limits their options, and in many cases makes them pass by their optimal builds. This isn’t how it’s done in the big leagues, boys. People peel for each other, boon remove for each other, condi remove for each other, etc..
PvP doesn’t need progression, it needs competition. Force us to make a premade team with a core 5 and room for a couple alternate players, and make a team ladder.
If you want to make something unlockable how about forcing a requirement on solo queues so pve’rs can’t come in until they know what they’re doing?
