PvE is apparently worse off than PvP. I know hardcore players who reached 80 in the first week and have now already left.
This ^^
But also, even if they were rushed and its not half finished – that’s not a useful response. Its just an excuse.
GW2 will not hold on to the hardcore pvp types for very much longer. Reasonable or not, they are impatient and frustrated.
Just made a nearly verbatim post. Couldn’t agree more. Losing faith quickly.
This is not a ‘suggestion’ post, nor is it an A-net bashing QQ post.
I am simply confused and pretty frustrated with the state of GW2’s pvp scene and I thought I’d express some of my concern here on the forums.
This game was released in August of 2012, years after several major mmo’s have implemented ranking systems, match-making systems, and player versus player tournaments with multiple maps and play styles. Yet here we are, in now the third week of September 2012, with not even a word on the direction ArenaNet intends to take in developing this game as a serious, competitive e-sport.
A lot of people might say: “But the game has only been out three weeks! Just give them time! They’ve said they have plans, and that one dev even made a post saying he’s gonna let us know! Just be patient – its not even the first month.”
I say these are features that should’ve been in the game at launch or at least specifically outlined and patched in soon after. You simply cannot launch a game in today’s crowded mmo market that doesn’t at least cover the basic functionality of pre-existing games.
Nissan would not design a 2012 model without cup-holders. Not because cup-holders are necessary to the integrity of the car, but because every other competitor has them and it would look absolutely idiotic to release a car model without such a small convenience.
It is absurd that this game, which has touted itself as trying to become the first ever mmo e-sport, doesn’t even have a way to duel. There’s no way to legitimately practice 1v1…in a pvp focused game.
I’m watching a lot of people go back to MoP because this lack of functionality. This sort of stuff is baffling and leaving players like me, that keep telling their friends ‘just wait it out’ to get supremely frustrated. I don’t even need to go into the laundry list of features we need, all of that stuff is painfully apparent. WTF is going on??
TL, DR: Structured pvp should’ve been built in with the myriad functions its missing at launch. It is inexcusable that the game was launched missing basic functionality, particularly in a game that aspires to become an e-sport.
Team Abrupt is a very serious, competitive gw2 team on the Gate of Madness server, looking to make a name for itself as gw2 develops into an e-sport.
We are especially interested in a solid support ele and/or condition necro.
We are all former WoW players and have experience playing RBGS and Arenas at a 2300+ level. If scheduled practice, and a small tight-knit guild is something you’re interested in, please contact Fosco.1948 or TommyVern.1943.
We are still looking for a few active members who want to play serious pvp. Contact me at Fosco.1948.

100% agree with OP. Definitely want gw2 to be an esport. Looking forward to hear more details.
