I never intended to be a WvW player. I had tried WvW maybe once or twice over the years, but was quickly stomped to death, I thought it was too confusing and not much fun for a casual PvE player like me…
But then I (finally) bought a precursor weapon, and had to earn Gift of Exploration and Gift of Battle to craft my Legendary. So I resigned myself to spending a few days in WvW hell. But as fate would have it, I happened to (re) join WvW during Golem Rush Week (which was quite entertaining). After a few nights in WvW, and committing time to adjusting my builds, I had earned the Gifts, but more importantly, I had climbed-up the “learning curve” just enough to want to play WvW for fun!
If Anet is keen to keep WvW going, then I think they should do more to broadly encourage PvE players to try WvW (not just those seeking Gifts for Legendary weapons). Currently, there is so much open world content in PvE, that I suspect many newer PvE players are unaware of the competitive play experience.
