I am one of those players who used to pvp alot in guild wars 1 Ha/gvg/hb had some really good rankings in all of those. The sad thing about spvp or w.e pvp gw2 has now is the lack of any competition skill or rewards to pursuit. In guild wars 1 we had the emotes world rankings etc making ppl to continue and try reaching the highest rank posible wich that gave respect amongst the comunity. In guild wars 2 rank 80 from glory doesnt indicate skill i can run all the time across the map pressing my space button and still earning glory . Even the build everyone knows IWAY wich was the least demanding build in terms of skill even in higher rankings needed alot more coordination teamplay and skill than any build in guild wars 2 or pvp feature. The thing i miss is that why with so much potentional and knowledge from a 100% pvp game anet brings here this pvp feature heart of the mists wich is a unorganised zergfest combining the worst features of bgs in wow or swotlr. Having to play the same small maps with the same objectives all the time trust me its not fun and without having anything to gain or prove. Its like to imagine guild wars 1 only with Random arenas like hardcore pvpers have no choiche and everyone has to play casualy. Anyway i miss all the ventrilo groups and coordination HA had and GvG and i wish it can be all come bk in a sort of way but i dont think its gonna happen. We are stuck with a single minded pvp with no e-sport competitive or chalenging features its a game with no subscription after all
. Doing a mistake in guild wars 1 in a pvp match could cost u the match .. a single mistake in a team formed by 8 ppl could just change the outcome of a game , in guild wars 2 even if u do only mistakes or play even with ur toes nothing is gonna happen u still get ur points:)
