Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

This topic is particularly intended for GW2 staff.
On Sunday, June 19, 2015 on morning, a friend’s account has been permanently suspended. He was in game, playing sPvP then he was disconnected with the following message : “Your Guild Wars 2 account has been closed for participating to sell items or In-Game money against real money.” or something like this.

Then he tried to contact ArenaNet’s support team by asking why his account has been closed whereas he’s innocent. I have known him for years in real life and I have been playing GW1 and GW2 with him also for years. Also, he spent 75 euros in two weeks (since he has been coming back in game) in gems. Anyway, the Game Master (or whoever he was) just answered him he couldn’t do anything, also that he was confident in the program which detected that he was a “gold seller”. And finally, the person he was talking to just replied that any other ticket or question would be automatically ignored as he was blacklisted by ArenaNet team.

You’ll find below informations about his account and his requests :

- Account bounded name : Tesla Luna.2061
- His requests numbers (from the older to the younger) : 1656425 – 1657666 – 1659337

About the clues which could have cause this ArenaNet’s little mistake, it may have been caused by me who sent him a few months ago about 200 gold coins when I have stopped playing the game. Before that, we used to send each other money to be able to buy items we wanted at the moment. However I can assure he has never been part of any gold traffic. It’s also possible that his account has been hacked, which could explain that ArenaNet’s program tagged his account as a gold seller but it would be surprising.

Finally, I’d have added that this player you have (wrongly) kicked from this game is fan of Guild Wars world since it has been released in April, 28th 2005.

I hope you’ll reconsiderer this mistake.

Best regards,

A friend of the victim.

Would be great if more people was able to vote !

I love GW2 gameplay, I love PvP but I definitely hate Conquest mode.

I know there are lots of people like me on this game (almost part playing WvW). Then maybe they’d split their community but Stronghold would also attract lots of people due to its new mechanics which breaks with “capping points with your tank and spamming AoE lol!”.

Marcos.3690:

To be honest I think they are going to split the queues after soo much forum feedback.

The issue here is that the developers of this game are so clueless about pvp that they thought mixing gamemodes was the best option

I hope because they would kill all their work by putting this mode into the same queue.

Invictus.1503:

Ok, so I was hugely psyched about Stronghold, up until watching the Ready Up. It isn’t the gameplay that has turned me off, but one simple statement. Stronghold won’t have its own queue, it will share the queue with the current Conquest mode. This means that if I want to play Stronghold, I can’t without taking a very large chance to get into a match I don’t want to play (many more Conquest maps than Stronghold maps).

Anet, please reconsider. This has taken my excitement level down quite a few notches. I don’t like conquest, but used to love the GvG in GW1, which it seems Stronghold is largely based on. In the end, if it isn’t separated out, I’ll likely simply not play it. I suspect a lot of people are like me and some may even play, but just quit or AFK if they don’t get the Stronghold match they wanted.

Yes, I opened a topic about it, share it “Anet : When will you learn your lesson ?” !

IMPORTANT : vote for the way you prefer here : http://strawpoll.me/3632530/

What if I told you … sPvP community is tiny only because people hate Conquest mode ? Why do you think they are so many ppl in hotjoin ? Because they don’t care about capping points and are just beating each others.

I don’t play unranked/ranked just because of Conquest and I bet I’m not the only one.

Pikka.6023:

There absolutely has to be a separate queue for Stronghold from Conquest—100%—for many reasons, but mostly because it’s a different game.

One of the biggest problems for Conquest right now is so many players aren’t interested in that game mode, but to sPvP they have to play it, so the quality of play is really low. All it takes is one or two people in the match ignoring the game mechanic and the entire match feels poorly fought to all. If you force Conquest players and Stronghold players to play together it will harm both game modes and reduce overall interest and participation in sPvP.

I honestly cannot believe this would even be considered for a moment. They should add another Deathmatch map or two and make that a separate queue also, so players who just want to brawl can do that without polluting the ranks of players who want Conquest or Stronghold mechanics.

I definitely agree with you.

I love GW2 gameplay, dynamic and original but I hate Conquest mode so imagine how hyped I was when they announced it. And now, they tell me something like “Hey, you know, you’ll anyway have to play Conquest lol !”. Really disappointing.

@penelopehannibal

That’s what they said during Ready Up of today.

@feight.2704

Then go queue for Conquest but let us play Stronghold in peace.

lol , rather, go play stronghold in peace in custom arenas
let me play my mixed pool in peace. i want to play all the game modes all the time cuzz….
i paid for it .

Difference is that YOU’d have the choice, you. I won’t because of their system.

@feight.2704

Then go queue for Conquest but let us play Stronghold in peace.

They really are T E R R I B L E !
They did a GREAT job on this new mode, it looks fresh, dynamic and to offer a lot of variety BUT they had to recall you that Conquest kitten mode is their main sPvP mode.

Pff so disappointed.

Stronghold in the same queue as Conquest : NO !

What thekitten* is wrong with you ? We don’t want to have to cap again and again and againkitten**** kittened points like dumbs.

Ok, maybe it would split your sPvP community but we should be able to choose the game mode we love to play, you mustn’t choose it for us like that.

There are currently 7 maps, 6 for conquest, only 1 for deathmatch so with your expansion there would be 8 maps. So what, 1 chance on 8 to be able to play Stronghold ?

Ok then have fun with your game, I won’t definitively buy your expansion only due to your fatal mistake on this.

EDIT : IMPORTANT ! Vote for the way you want here : http://strawpoll.me/3632530/

Of course I’ll ! Finally true new content which will (I hope) bring new experiences never seen before in GW2

#Hyped

Hello everybody,

I just want to THANK Anet for bringing us this new content.
I’m mainly a WvW/sPvP player but all what you are going to bring us with this expansion pack sounds really fun !
I am especially hyped thanks to Stronghold mode if you copy it from original GW GvG
I hope you’ll successfully make this new PvP mode a 10 persons size mode to break with the actual 5v5 mode to offer more diversity

Anyway, congratulations to all your team for finally bringing what your players have been waiting for months (I mean all aspect of the game : PvE, PvP, WvW) !

Join me to congratulate Arena Net !

Hello everyone,

First I’m not that good in english but I’ll try to do my best on this topic.

Well, I wonder for months now how much time we’ll need to wait to be able to see that awesome update that almost part of sPvP or WvW players are waiting for : GvG mode.

I remember on GW1, players were very satisfied by this mode which included only :

- Team Queue ;
- A real leaderboard ;
- An automated monthly tournament ;
- Arenas called guild hall.

It was a little bit more complicated than classic deathmatch with a flag capture which allowed bonus and a possibility to kill the guild lord to win the match.

GW2’s GvG is downed to a classic deathmatch but problem is that : there’s NOT a real structure. You’ll tell me there is Obsidian Sanctum but we really need an “official” GvG mode. Problem with Obsidian Sanctum is that there are always a few people who are here to annoy both guilds. Other problems are mainly that we can’t do more than 1 maybe 2 GvG together or we can’t really queue for a GvG directly on GW2.

I don’t know on what are working Arena Net’s devs but maybe your management team should really show interest to the PvP communauty of GW2. A lot of sPvP players tried to make you know they are waiting some improvement of GW2 “sPvP”.

I’m not trolling someone or something, I just hope you’ll see that topic.
