Guild Wars 2

Kaineng. No server qeue. Just transfer over there. Honestly who cares if you lose guild influence, you’ll be back up again in a few days.

Better gear does matter, but take this with a grain of salt.

Due to the inherently unfair nature of WvW, gear is negligible and most of the time matters very little outside of the occasional 1v1.

For example, everybody on my server, Kaineng, could be equipped with lvl 80 exotic gear, but that would still make very little difference in terms of actual combat outside the meta game. When Northern Shiverpeaks outnumbers us 5 to 1, what does it matter what gear they have? They could be in lvl 10 gear for all I care, and in the end they would still roflstomp zerg roll us.

So what happens when everybody has lvl 80 exotic gear? Which actually doesn’t take that long to earn. Am I going to complain to ANet and force them to move players to my server?kitten WvW is always going to be unfair.

People who play more are going to be better. They’ll have more money to buy better siege equipment, upgrade them at the Mystic Forge, coordinate with better tactics, etc.

Time = Real Money = Virtual Money = Boosts = Siege Equipment = Win

If we look at it from this standpoint, then GW2 is in fact, a pay to win game. Truth is, nobody has that kind of money because Gem to Gold conversion rate is absolutely horrible. Does that prevent uber rich people from pay to win? Nope. Not at all. Get over it.
