Guild Wars 2

I guess they are so focused on updating the game that they forget to play it

Hello forums,

many topics are made every day and most of them deffend solid points of view about the current state of the game. However, only those made by “top players” receive the attention they deserve and even these become old in 1 week time.

I also have the feeling that there isn’t a general opinion on some topics (such as class balance). Some people will argue that X is the best class while others will answer it’s easy to counter. I’d love to see what does the majority think of the hot topics in the forums.

So I thought it would be interesting to make a quick survey where everyone could share their opinion and see nice statistics and graphics about the other players points of view.

Of course, Im not related to Anet nor any gw2 fansite or company. Im just a player with too much free time

• Here’s the link to the survey

• Here’s the link to the results (please, answer the questions before checking this out)

If you feel the survey needs some tweaks, feel free to comment in the forums. Also, bump this thread with your opinions, dont let it die with few answers. Id like to gather legit data!

Note: I made this thread with a healthy interest for the game and the pvp community. I believe this thread belongs to the pvp forums and should not be moved to linksville.

Again, thanks for your time!

• August-September: The game is released. The hype about competitive pvp and the number of teams is HUGE. However, there is so many people playing that its impossible for good teams to fight each other, so pvp becomes a pug stomping 500-0. Some teams start to quit.

• October: Paid tournaments are implemented. Teams are hyped up and we see a few ones being created.

• November: The only pvp addition we see is temple of the silent storm. This map will be ignored because its not in the tournament rotation, so it becomes a meaningless addition. More people quits pvp because
  a) abuse of svanir & air runes
  b) they see paid tournaments are just a grind

• December: There is nothing for pvpers. More people quiting, mists are really dead & boring during christmas days. A few teams discover the OPness of eles, and their set up will be copied by others.
  Pvpers are quite angry at the direction the game is taking, but from anet its said that 2013 will be the great year of pvp.

• January: Paid tournaments become 1 round map. This map will be the only playable for 7 days and more and more people get tired of the game. Playing the same map for 5 hours daily (7*5=35) make the mists even less active. At this point only 3-4 teams in the EU remain, and many people is abusing the ele.
  There’s also the addition of some sort of matchmaking, but no one knows how it work and there isn’t a ladder to check your position.

• February: Paid tournaments (the only addition since game release) are deleted. Althought a ladder was promised for this patch it wasn’t released.
  The balance made doesn’t change the actual meta, and a new conquest map is released.

All in all, in half a year pvpers got:
1) Paid tournaments that were deleted afterwards (sigh)
2) Matchmaking without a ladder (??)
3) 2 conquest maps
