Guild Wars 2

Pinkamena Diane Pie.8054:

The thing is current e-sports is all about 2 small 5-man teams fighting each other.

Anet could have changed this with 3 teams of 100 all fighting each other in a huge map!
A spectator mode for WvW would be fun to see.

And didnt a small WvW/GvG team beat the puppies out of a “well-known” spvp team a while back?

Tm Trillmatic will beat the kitten out of any SPvP team you can think of.

Killing the official matchup forums.

Every player who has an account for GW2 can participate in discussion on the official forums, whereas they need to make an account to participate in the community driven websites. This seems like a relatively small User Experience difference, but many people on the official forums would consider the time cost of making the GW2wvw.net account and the amount of enjoyment they’ll get out of participating in the PvF on those matchup threads and they just kinda go “Meh” maybe later.

When every player had an easy and 100% efficient way of communicating with other servers, there was more server politics, rivalries, and other such fun that comes with PvF. That has been slowly dying out as servers get more and more disconnected from each other.

example: There are about 150-200 WvWders that I see almost every day on my server (NA PST-OCX). less than 10 of them come and PvF on the matchup threads with me.

At the end of the day, communication is what made the difference.
