Makes no sense to me why people who don’t support 15v15 or 20v20 are even responding in this negatively. It wouldn’t even affect you guys. If you don’t like it don’t play it. No one in the GvG community is asking for your opinion as to why you don’t like GvG. We are only here to try to pitch to anet why they should give us SOMETHING after all this time. sPvP has been supported since launch, and still doesn’t get a substantial amount of viewers even when it’s “esports.” Maybe it’s time that anet wants to give some attention to a different community because so many people clearly enjoy playing that game mode. When I first watched PvP I had no idea what was going on, just like when you first watch GvG.
The problem that many people have with the continued support with sPvP over the community’s 20v20 “GvG” is that even with this continuous support by Arenanet there are still only small amounts of people that are actually competitive in that scene compared to the GvG scene. A stream today (Chemsorly TA vs USA) wasn’t hyped, has no cash prize, and didn’t even contain an American side that in all honestly didn’t even belong in the same OS as TA had close to 900 viewers. Many of the GvG guild players from the past have stopped playing and could easily have made the number of viewers reach much more than 1000 if it was hyped up or contained guilds of equal skill levels. It’s a win win for both Arena Net and the community. There is so much money to be made in this from the GvG players alone. I have bought 2 items in the gem store since the game has come out, but if GvG related items came out I guarantee I would purchase much, much more items from the gem store.
Although 20v20 doesn’t seem to have a lot of cohesion. I can’t even begin to describe the amount of hours and theory crafting that goes into making a guild successful at the top level. I have been in NS, Night Shift for almost 2 years now. The amount of time put in from each player to make everything work is definitely something worth paying attention to. On the surface it may not look as “esports” or marketable as sPvP, but I can guarantee if it was a supported game mode with proper arenas, ladders, and options to observe a GvG going on at any moment, it would be insanely popular and incredibly marketable. Watch any of the videos people have linked. The cohesion at the top level is something truly special and if rewarded I can only imagine how much better everything could get.
YOLO is not agg, we are a completely different guild. We dominated the runescape pvp scene for 6-7 years, and got payed IRL to stop killing everything and play a different game. So we decided to take our talents else where into GW2. Soon we will dominate the GW2 pvp scene…we take cash or credit
SoR’s tick really got hit hard when they shoved 4-5 guilds into BG bl for us and agg lol. So much tower hugging/hand holding/blobbing, but still was fun
Eh for the most part we try to shake the pugs but some are just so determined to follow us, so we usually end up with anywhere from 2-6 non NS with us.
We were getting little to no fights every week on DB. The place that has the most consistent fights during NA prime is JQ, so we came here and farm lots of loot bags now instead of pveing in DB.
Thanks for the fights EP. I don’t think I’ve ever played as bad as I did there and you guys really punished me for it. Hope to fight you guys again in the future.
Are you in [fang]? If so those were some fun fights in EBG last night. Especially when we only had about 20-25 around SM fighting that blob of yours. Keep up the good fights!
Can’t wait for our gvg
