First off let me say that had Anet decided to keep PvP badges out of WvW and PvE in the first place, or waited until the start of season 4 PvP to delete them from WvW, I would not be saying anything because I agree with this decision; the only problem I have is that essentially we, that is, the WvW players who PvP’ed to legendary for mainly cosmetic purposes, feel tricked and deceived by this decision, to remove PvP badges midway through the season. And the reason is not even a convincing one.
If you just come out and say it from the start, that we want to keep PvP badges away from PvE and WvW because it’s pointless (don’t bother with visual clutter nonsense because like I said multiple times before, there are countless skins be it weapons/backpacks/armors that adds far more visual clutter to the game than a black badge which only your own server can see and by that logic, every single one of those skins should be deleted from WvW), we would all understand; since we cannot see PvE masteries ranks in WvW nor WvW ranks in PvE, it just makes sense to not show PvP badges anywhere outside of HotM.
However Anet created this system, of being able to show off PvP league badges across all game modes, and we as a playerbase got used to it for 2 and a half seasons and saw the black badge as the reward for playing seasons. I carried on with PvP in season 3, not having the slightest inkling that this well established system was about to change, so when the reward got removed mid season and people realized they had worked hard for nothing…..well it’s obvious why there is a problem.
Nobody who got to legend prefers that they are not visible in WvW, most of them don’t like it, some of them are indifferent to it. It comes down to, if you worked hard at something of course you want to show it off. Think of is using any kittening analogy from real life and you know it’s true; should we abolish gold medals because they make silver and bronze feel bad? Rhetorical question but that is exactly what Anet has done here. People have told me that they are ashamed they don’t PvP and therefore cannot have a badge so they prefer it to be invisible….well I was in the same position, but the difference is I worked hard to rectify that problem, did they?
Just because a section of the playerbase are not able to ever achieve something, does not mean you should punish those who do. Society is not limited by underachievers, or we would end up not ever getting anywhere.
Well said, I totally agree.
Bring back pvp badges in WvW.
Thanks.
I’m quitting the game until this is restored.
I’ve played since launch and this is my first post because since this recent patch the game has become unplayable.
I’m located in SEA and play on FA, mainly wvw and cannot go anywhere near a zerg without the game laggin hard. Average ping is 300-400 while alone. Near other players it will spike to ~1000 constantly and near a zerg it goes 1500+ and is totally unplayable.
I used to be able to play in massive zerg battles with TS going and had no problems.
