Guild Wars 2

Short answer – no.

The reason is that we are working towards an esport based on skill. I realize some of you want your items to matter, and if you want that, WvW gives you that feeling.

But we feel it’s very important that you are on equal footing with your opponents when in sPvP. We want skill to be the single largest determinant in who wins in sPvP.

We may add more aesthetic choices down the road, and maybe the stats on the amulets can change, but overall we want to stay w/ the “no power grind” system that we have established.

Hope that makes sense!

I agree with no gear progression in spvp, but please don’t suggest it matters in WvW. Just look at queue charts in comparison to the server rank. It’s pretty clear what matters the most. Number of players.

I’m confused on ArenaNet’s intent with the DR. It’s easy to hit DR in 30 mins or so of play, yet they sell 1 hour boosters for it.

If they didn’t intend for people to be farming that much, then why sell boosters for it?

These 3 are pretty close to equal in strength and would be very interesting match up. Plus, neither of these 3 can compete with HoD and their 24/7 full queues.

Speed Kits require a Kit to proc, yet your build doesn’t use any of the kits.
