Im newbie in this game, and I have to say that, comparing GW2 with other mmorpg, this game has very good things and very bad things. And PVP is one of the worst. The learning curve in this game is terrible, every new player who enters only will see death and destruccion everywhere, and will be frustrated by the infinite deaths he will suffer before to know something. The impossibility to make a duel with a friend, or at least a combat 1vs1 impossibilite to learn in other way but the trial and error. The nule explanation of combo fields or mechanics ingame dont help. And zerg mechanics and how bad is be in a small sized group or alone made it worst.
I know that AN wants a multiplayer game, and dont want SPVP. But SPVP, duels or whatever, are a very usefull system for learn how to play. You can see the different capabilities of other classes and you dont have to play from 0 another class only to know how to defeat it. There is not equilibrium, only explosions. No time to think or to learn. Too much important the teamplay to do nothing alone, and too much effort to learn how to play.
