I don't begrudge the PvPers their fun, and if it publicizes GW and brings more players into the fold, I can't help but think that PvE will benefit, too.Quote:

On a serious note, I think Gaile was just simply announcing it, it's quite a nice thing too, normally we're stuck with boring ladder locks and during such a period is takes a lot of the fun and competition out of GVG.
I for one am glad, I can imagine that a few guilds who wouldn't normally get silver capes and the likes will do since they have something to compete for here, then again I guess the open season pretty much allowed for that too
But I'm currently enjoying this fun season, it is fun!

This game was built primarily for PvP. The game system was built to best accomidate it. It's also not a P2P game, meaning they have limited resources when it comes to updates. P2P MMORPGs tend to cater to PvE and have the funds to make the in-game worlds persistant and ever-changing. This helps prevent the game from stagnating. So, I guess you get what you pay for in that respect. Now, when people say "Go play WoW", what they really mean is "Maybe a P2P MMORPG would better accomidate your gaming-needs"? To be fair, the "Go play PvP" comments do make a fair point, too. You're eating half of your lunch and asking for more. PvP is basically the true 'end-game' of Guild Wars. PvE is static, think of the chapters as Novels (however badly written). Complaining that you don't get new PvE content is a little short-sighted as that's the bulk of the content in the new chapters. Why is PvE static? Because it's not dynamic. Why is PvE not dynamic? Because it's not a persistant in-game world. Why is it not a persistant in-game world? Because GWs isn't a MMORPG. Dispite what people say, GW is no more of an MMORPG than Diablo II. When you compare the two, towns and outposts in GW act pretty much just like chat channels in Diablo II. They both lack one of the defining elements of a MMORPG, the persistant in-game world. I'd just like to remind you that it's all part of the same game. Story Mode, which everyone should play at least once IMO, and PvP, the core* of the game. The whole PvE/PvP animosity is really quite pathetic. *I mean that almost litterally. Since all the new chapters are selling 'Core' + 'Prophecies/Factions/Nightfall'. 'Core' basically being the game mechanics and the Battle Isles. Okay, I'm going to shut up now. |

Why doesn't my guild 'The Elite Ascalonian Aragorn Knights of Tyria' get more stuff from teh nub devs
Instead they always give cool stuff to the guild that are winning the pvp. Why don't we get prizes for farming minotaurs!!11111 I bet my guild is better at farming appalling ai than any of those EvIL morons. /cry /whine
I don't get any of gaile gray's sweet sweet love for soloing FoW on my ranger Lord Legollass the Grate

Guild Wars World Championships each with a prize of 100k of cold hard real spendable money and with this "Fun Ladder Season" with 16 signed copies of Guild Wars Prophecies or Guild Wars Factions and 16 complete sets of skill pins going to the winners a bone. think you for your time.
oh yea! I do SO love this game.

The ladder will reset tonight at Midnight PDT (ok, for you nice Europeans, that's Friday at 07:00 GMT) and we're off on a 1-month race for fun gameplay and prizes. Check out the goods on the website, and hope to see your guild on the ladder! |
Remember when candy bar companies came out with the "Fun Size" bars. In corporate lingo "Fun" tends to mean less. Thanks for insulting our intellegence once again Gaile.

however....
Do you play PvP?
Do you play GvG?
Do you know what fun is in GvG?
Do you remember what the downtime was like between seasons last time with a locked ladder?
Why do you think they consider an open ladder between seasons fun?
Maybe...because it is?
Gli
To me, calling it 'fun season' seems to imply that outside of this season, GvG isn't fun.

I only GvG to win some pins, fun has nothing to do with that
