I’m a PvE’er, never have liked PvP, im sitting at 97% which means I’ve been WvW cleared 3 indentical maps,so much for exploring, just by loading into that area all my waypoints are added, I don’t even have to go and get them. I got my 50 kills for monthly by joining a 30+ mob steamrolling everything. If you try to “explore” solo you are ofc met with the other teams 30+ “zerg”, ofc thats so much fun.
Atm I have 2 choices to finish this, I leave my friends for a couple of days (change servers) and get the rest I need (wishing id abused the free transfers so i could have done this in a couple of hrs) or I wait for our colour to change.. this has been 3 weeks now that this hasnt happened, so you cant say im not patient.
So as a PvE’er in WvW, what are you really getting, well I take a spot in queue, im not going to run across a map and help take a fort/keep (whatever), sorry but fighting in 30+ teams isn’t fun, neither is being met with that either. Infact nothing is gained by me entering this area, except I do feel guilty taking a space of someone that actually finds this fun, so now we have 2 unhappy people doing things they don’t want to do, because that other player is having to PvE while he/she waits for me to finish running about getting that last PoI.
I agree that “we” shouldn’t have it easy, I find it funny how you can get 100% without even completing the storyline, getting all the PoI’s in dungeons, but to have to explore the same map 3 times just by being a different colour im not sure how that shows Ive mastered anything accept Ive waited for things to change.. or abused the free server transfers
Tbh I don’t even care that the monthly has 50 WvW kills in it, I never went for it before and since it bugged the month I actually manage it, im not going to cry that I will never get it again. I just dont look at that tab in achievements.. sorted, neither do I look at my WvW tab because this doesn’t interest me, or any other tab that’s not PvE related.
You can say “Im not being forced”, but when you reach 93% that the other 7% is in entirely different game, and that 4% of that is identical content x 3 (basing this on the fact i just need the 2 areas in EB i haven’t been lucky to be “the right colour”) you start to wonder what the reason was to make this PvP area part of the world. Tbh I would like to know the reasoning behind this, rather than people making assumptions.
Im a title grinder, so don’t hate that I actually thought this was a PvE title, if i knew it wasn’t I wouldn’t have bothered with some of the silly Vista’s put into jump puzzles, which is another pet hate and a different story. Oh and i have no intentions of ever owning a Legendary I value my hard earned gold too much. It also doesnt bother me that Il never fill all those little medals on char screen, thats my choice not to PvP, i can live with it.
(sorry for the long read this is just my opinion)
