A lot of people in this thread have been arguing that it’s perfectly reasonable that Anet’s main priority is on PvE, and that we should not be upset that we have to wait for updates on sPvP.
Is it unreasonable though, to expect the developers of the game to at least give us some sort of update or timeline on when these vital features are coming? We as a community were told that ArenaNet wanted GW2 to be an esport, and that they were dedicated to supporting their PvP community. We were also told that the game would not be released until “it [was] finished”, but at this point, weeks after launch, PvP is clearly not “finished” if it’s intended to be an esport. Even more frustrating, is that the developers of the game were quite slow to acknowledge and fix the problems with tournaments in PvP, and have been absolutely silent on when we can expect the features that the game needs to be even remotely competitive with other titles.
