Been playing MMOs for a really long time, and this was certainly one of the best events i’ve had the pleasure of joining in on. Everything was really enjoyable, especially my very unsuccesful attempts at that dern tower.
Thank you kindly, and i definetly look forward to future ones..
I played UO for five years without a gear carrot to keep chasing, so i really don’t need one, and would prefer if my MMO didn’t have it. I’ve played enough of those types, and none have kept me entertained as much as UO did, or kept me as long.
Heres hoping Anet can keep their game fresh and interesting with patches and other types of content, because if they can, I’ll be here awhile.
I’m really enjoying this game so far, and its a slight breath of fresh air for me as far as “AAA” MMOs go.

And this would be as opposed to exactly which MMO that is brought up in an MMO community and its all unicorns and rainbows?
Good, because I have no clue what you were trying to tell there. Except random stories about WvW and your personal gaming history.
Now if I really try to get something out of it, it is that World Completion rewards scouting.
If they really want to reward scouting they should create a NPC to give scouting missions (availibility scaling based on players, etc.).
Your reading comprehension is lacking, but regardless, I’m just glad that Anet is not as narrow minded with their approach to gaming as some would like.
Wow, so exploring is what makes the WvW exciting for everyone?
I haven’t a clue where you got the impression i meant that.
It is understandable that there will be less useful people in WvW. However, there is no point encouraging that kind of behavior.
I don’t have a problem with it. Perhaps on our way to the next POI my group and i run into a few enemy scouts, and succesfully take them out?
Sounds like a benefit to our team, hardly useless.
If i wanted to play a sterile, dull, and monotonous “WvW” game, I’d probably still be playing Warhammer.

If you are looking for a perfectly sterile PvP enviorment, the game offers better options than WvW.
Wethospu, highlighting the most obvious showcase of your hypocrisy does not imply agreement with the rest of it.
Yes, I’m mainly a PvE player, and I don’t particularly enjoy WvW – but I honestly don’t see any reason to complain about the cost of the largest achievement in the game, because it’s meant to be a milestone. If ANet said you’d need to do dungeons as well for world completion, I would have had no problem with it, either.Lowering the bar to fit the lowest common denominator has cost this world of so many potentially good things; particularly in the entertainment field. I’m glad ANet thinks twice before lowering the bar.
It is not about making it easier, it is about making it less stupid. We don’t want it easier, we want it improved.
Exploring perfectly fits PvE content, you are there to experience the environment. Exploring hardly fits PvP environment, you are there to fight other people.There are plenty of other ways to make it more harder to get legendaries. They don’t have to stick with the worst option.
There are also ways to make World Completion harder (as you mentioned, dungeons). Again they don’t have to stick with the worst option.
This sounds like a design problem.
Perhaps if developers would add more to PvP, people would explore it more?
I’ll never understand why folks think that PvP can’t have story, or questing or “exploration” or anything else that is “PvE specific”.
I commend Anet for stepping outside this silly box that some folks seem to have created
This thread again?
I play both aspects (pve/pvp) never really had a problem in many years of MMOing with games that weren’t “split”.
As a matter o’ fact, i find it more appealing if they aren’t

100% is 100%, its as simple as that really.
There are certain things in MMOs that i don’t like doing as well, but i don’t complain about not being rewarded for it if i choose not to do it…

I don’t play MMOs for carrots, I play for the fun.
I’m having an aweful lot of fun so far in this game, more fun than i have had in an MMO in some time. Its really nice that someone has gone back and realized that MMOs don’t have to be about chasing the next epic piece of armor, so that i can chase the next piece of epic armor…. ad nauseum.
Than can be other carrots than the ones that have been drilled into our brains the last 8 years, if thats what you wish, and they are in this game. Hopefully Anet can expand on them in the future.
Its nice to step outside the box occasionally, thank you Anet.
