Why dont we add races around the playing field, and a special +50 points for most damage. Adding 'special events' in pvp is gimmicky and unwanted. Buffs like in Temple is bad enough. Dueling as a past time pleasure and training? Sorry that I play support and will die every time. Go to an empty server while you wait for custom arenas if you want to duel, it has no place in structured TEAM based PvP.

You arent reading my post correctly. You want these different games, but they will cater to individual classes and build styles where their current format combines play styles. Thats why its the only one in there currently, and thats why it is focused. New styles will come out eventually, but they are trying to perfect their competitive game as to create an E-Sport. I dont see the issue with this.

Im confused when PvP turned into purely killing. PvP covers a much wider selection then pure kill arenas. The fact is, object based games allow for class diversity. What are you going to tell the bunker player when he is now going to get no points because all he is built for is survival? In object based pvp he has a role, as do the support players and your burst characters.

Thats why object based games are focused, and thats they object based is being worked on over other game styles.

As for the argument of why arent they updating pvp. Remember that it is 2 different development teams for pvp and pve so release of updates will vary in speed and size. You cant just throw more developers at this problem as pvp's code base is much smaller then the entirety of pve. Because of this its easier to develop for pve and thats why you see larger content updates faster. They dont have to worry about ensuring there is a balance of players skills and map balance. So give them time, and as always, if you dont enjoy the game or the direction its going you are always free to leave.

I dont see people purchasing WoW and Aion purely for PvP, where that is the case for a lot in GW2. So your comparing completely different things. You wana talk progression in PvE that is one discussion, but in PvP it is just not the thing to do. Remember, PvE and sPvP are not tied together in anyway (besides the ocasional dye drop from a pvp chest).

So let me call you out on the most ridiculous portion of your latest response. So you arent playing this game, yet you claim to know the majority opinion, and you want the game changed. This makes no sense, though from our current dialog Im not surprised.

Again, however, in pvp better gear will not accomplish anything you claim it will. High end PvP in any game is all skill based, non stat base. Need to put new players in place, when they see the guy coming with high level skins and a way higher rank they will stomp the new player regardless of if he has better stats or not. Sure, if he had better gear he could beat him more efficiently  but what does that achieve at all? Its highly more likely that player will quit because he cant compete then try and achieve a higher level. Yay, getting face rolled by those with a higher play time, just what I as a new comer would strives for! Not to mention the fact that by the time that new player reaches the same stat tier as the high level player that high level player is now still way higher since he is also progressing. If you cap stats at some point so that everyone can reach a plateau then why did you have the treadmil to begin with. Face it, your idea is wrong. It also is not representative of the players in the game (some place you dont even reside according to yourself).
