Guild Wars 2

Map completion in WvW probably wouldn’t bother me so much if I didn’t have to worry about repair costs and could just rush pois/vistas/skill points. I might have been able to ignore map completion if I didn’t spend the last 80 levels on it.

Instead, I will be wasting a WvW slot that could have been used on someone who actually wanted to help the server. Not to mention, ganking/griefing already exists on the jump puzzle (something else that WvW probably could have done without), and it’s probably only a matter of time before vistas and the like get the same treatment.

I’m not against the WvW maps having map completion objectives. I’m against having to go into a game mode I’ve hated in every mmo that I have otherwise been able to avoid to enjoy the game the way I want.

My suggestion after all this ranting: Make PvE map completion and WvW map completion their own achievements. Give WvW map completion it’s own little medal on the character select, heck even give bonus achievement points/xp/achievement chest/whatever/all of the above for doing both the PvE and WvW map completions. That way, the PvE bunch can do the part they want, WvW bunch can go do the part they want, and the really determined ones can do both and have the investment pay off even more for the effort.
