Guild Wars 2

I did not miss it
I’m just suprised why the blog about the new traits isn’t called “(more) inbalance incoming”

Did just see they are going to release 40 new grandmaster traits – wow seems like the best way to make this game even more unbalanced.
Let’s create a bunch of new stuff that nobody needs so people will be busy trying it for about 1,5 days untill they qq at us again.
The more skills/traits the harder balancing will be.

You can’t tell me that you didn’t create most of them just to give every profession 5 new ones since “every profession deserves new ones, if the ele get’s them.” –
If u feel like some new traits are necessary – why didnt u only introduce them – instead of looding the game with all the other stuff?

So here’s my question – what’s the point of the whole new trait thing?

yeah i won’t even care about all the time i invested anymore since it will be so amazing… =(

Dear Anet,

can you tell me, why every step towards new achievements needs to be a punch in the face of any true pvp fan since release?
Not only that we couldn’t really achieve any true rewards which show on which level we played anyway, but now u need to slaughter the value of rank points – the last achievement that proofs myself i’ve been playing this game every f day .

When you introduced the new increased rank points last patch (December 3 month ago wasn’t it?) i’ve been r51 – if i had gained the 1000 rank points per win for any of my 2000 team q wins, i would have been r 63 allready!
Now with the new patch even solo q gives 1000 per win and team q even more.
So what i did back in the days became almost useless since every single win is worth about three times the amount.

I can understand that u need to attract new players but come on – u won’t be successfull if u anger the ones that are playing already and take away anything the recieved.

I know that you did initially plan do delete rank points at all – but kept them, cause the community didn’t want it’s last achievment to be gone (eventhough it was almost worthless due to farmers etc). So why do u make it even more valuless by adding more and more every f time? That’s not why we wanted it to stay?
I feel so sad when every single solo q hero is r60+ allready and will soon be r70 with so much less effort.

So all that’s left is the riducules screenshot i took from your leaderboard homepage to keep at least my team q placement – pretty pathetic isn’kitten – but i did actually want to have anything that reminds me of the fun time i spend with my team in this game.

No – pls don’t destroy this game more

there you go

“I’d like to make it very clear that this reset does not mark the end of an official ‘season’, and as such, we will not be rewarding players for leaderboard placement. I know that this may be a tough pill to swallow for our more hardcore players, but we hope you understand our reasoning behind this.”

Dear anet, ncsoft, developers, what ever

First of all, i want to point out that my following argumentation will be based on
my assumption that those who do play PvP don’t only play for the sake of playing.
They somehow want to compare their skill level to other players -become better- and have proof that they’ve improved.
Therefore rewards are unavoidable, because you can’t compare your recent skill levels when someone (oh hey mr davis and all the other ones :D ..)
suddenly deletes your matches history.
It would be better to get a reward; something that proves which skill level you’ve played at

It’s all about the progress, I think you’d all agree that people would not play any PvE without any form of progress in terms of skins, titles, achievement points.
That’s why all the new events (which i actually liked) reward you with some sort of unique stuff; they make your account unique.

Concerning PvP there has been very little visible progress so far, except for the (invisible) improvement in skill!
You could decide whether you want to go hotjoin and farm your rank (sounds like no fun for me – but there are actually people who like it)
or spend your time on climbing the leaderboard, which is where i spend my time and effort at.
So to sum it up, what makes my account unique for me is my leaderboard-placement.

And now i see, that everything i’ve achieved so far will be deleted, cause some mistakes have been made.
So i personally feel like noone cared about the investments the competitive pvp-community did, and all their efforts have been ignored.
If they really know how to play, they will climb the ladder again" – that’s what someone wrote in a forumpost recently.
And well it’s true for sure, BUT i think everyone would agree it would extremely annoying to repeat the same work over and over again
if you know there will be someone who will negate it. ((Like when you are trying to build a house of cards, and someone simply keeps knocking it over – you wouldn’t start again more than one time)
What i’m saying is why should I keep playing ranked matches when Anet simply resets the leaderboard when they feel like doing it, when i don’t get anything that reminds me of all the effort that i’ve put in getting a high place on there.

I highly question the argumentation that they don’t give any rewards cause it’s not “end of season” because there is no season at all.
There will be no season after this reset either, so the next reset will also be without reward.

Question: Why don’t they wait until they finally manage to get some rewards into the game?
Or maybe simply give some rewards to make the leaderboard reasonable, any reward would be fine…
I agree that any titles would not be that meaningful, but who cares – People still put effort in it,
to improve at the current version of the game.
And all in all, the stronger players did finish at better rankings. (flame inc D: – just have a look at the leaderboards – oh wait they will be gone D:)
When the rankeds get reset there will be literally no difference (for me) between all those pvp accounts; everything that made
my account unique will be taken away.

So the question is: Why should you keep playing till there is an official announcement, saying that there won’t be any
reset anymore? (this feels totally like beta for me – i hate beta tests!).

This is the reason that the competitive PvP-community decreases every day (I don’t even need my second hand to count all these teams).

To sum up, i can see that some people might want this reset to happen, cause they might be “stuck” at lower rankeds due to syncs – op builds and so on.
(Eventhough i don’t think this kind of “elohell” does exist – just keep playing).
But there should definately some sort of reward for the effort stronger players put into their placement, like all the other approved MMO’s have.

P.S. You might ask why does this raging kid keep playing then, omgwtflolbbq ?!
It’s because i’m playing with the greatest PvP team i’ve ever had here, and it would be a shame to leave them just because i’m disappointed by the game we are playing.
(though i’m pretty sure they feel the same :P)
