How can anyone say pvp is a small part of this game used by a small minority of people. Pvp is the only sole thing(maybe besides farming....sigh) that keeps people from leaving this game. Face it, after you beat the new game once ...twice....five times it starts to get boring as hell. There is only so much farming the average person can do unless u love to do boring tedious things over and over of course. So what is there to do after u have finished or gave up on the pve portion of the game....oh ye go pvp.
There are countless new builds made up every day by the people who play this game and the only way to experience this is in pvp. Sure u can go pretend to be challenged killing a boss that uses the same skills every time, or u can go play with the people and have an actual challenge. I mean if u seriously think that this game is hard, maybe it isnt the game for you.
Pvp is the only thing that keeps people here because it has no end. You cant finish pvp nor can you beat it. There is always a new thing waiting for you, and if u dis agree with this i dont really care. Flame cry w/e its for real though and i know many many people who would have left this game long ago if it wasnt for pvp.
again if u dont agree with this, just wait until they nerf the one thing u like to do then just think about waht u can do from now on

thats my 2 cents

If I could change just 1 item in Guild Wars? Mmmm hard here is my top 10 wish list

1st The ability to have just one word character names, I would also increase the number of character allowed in your name / pet name.

2nd Storage and a dye trader in Pre-searing as the other noobie areas all have storage and dye merchants.

3rd That the cost of dyes is fixed at a set rate say 100g to 250gold to allow for more variety on peoples armour.

4th wish that the game had more character customisation options i.e. weight, eye colour, tattoos, underwear, piercing, hats/bonnets, hair length and the ability to have missing limbs after all guild wars is a tough place to live.

5th
Indoor environments such as pubs, inns, churches, homes, castles that we can loot

6th
Larger variety of animals in the world, I have more beasts in my backyard than guild wars have i.e. birds, bugs and fish.

7th I would love to see some form of transportation in the world so that if I had a new character and I did not want to walk / fight from say ascalon to the next town I could pay for a lift via a NPC travel agent.

8th That old areas like Pre-Searing still get some form of update wither it be new NPC characters new monsters or vendors. I know that it prob wont happen due to the cost and ANet wanting to draw player into the newer games + cost and the need to pay staff.

9th More common pets added to the charm pet list (cat/dog/fish/pet rock)

And last I would love to see more in game moderation presence with in game mods letting the players know that they are around and watching what players are doing.

PvP is unimportant? When was the last time Anet held a tournament for a PvE event? Never. What would they do, see which guild could clear Fissure the fastest? Who could farm the most experience in an hour?

I'd love to see moderators in the game. There are some things that I see going on (bots, racist comments, excessive cursing for no reason, etc) that maybe need to be monitored just a little bit more. Yeah, I know there's a curse filter, but the problem is not keeping my filter on, it's having to read people cursing each other out on local chat when other people are asking for group members or general advice.

Or they could have worldwide PvE contests like:

"Submit screencaps of your best penis in the minimap!"
"Most creative way to circumvent Trade chat filter."
"Dumbest/Most Offensive character name."

While probably not possible, wouldn't it be great if Anet could drudge up other spamming achievements during the game? Like which Whammo grinded against the most female characters, who's the best at pinging the minimap to death, and what person is unmatched in letting EVERYONE be totally aware that they are wielding greens in all their weapon slots.

Yes.

Looking at it the other way, there is a 50,000 cash prize. Yet not everyone is jumping up and down for it. God it must suck that even the prize fail to entice players. Btw $50,000 is not a prize for a single player, it is divided by god knows how many in your team.

Wow so many things horribly wrong with this post...

I don't need to point out how wrong you are about it being a small unimportant add on. Don't need to point out the world tourny and such, as it's already been done.

To be honest, I don't agree with hardcore PvErs that dislike PvP but occasionally I can respect them. However, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. I've concluded this from the above bolded statement by you.

im defintely not here to start a flame fest, but why the hell is everyone saying "remove pvp, remove ha, remove fame"

Remove PvP, great idea, so GW loses over half of its hardcore player base.

Replace sins? actually have you ever watched EviL's use of sins, in the GWFC season, shows perfect use of them, and there abilities in combat

also i think sins have become the pre-nightfall ele.
They have lots of utility skills that are great on alot of diffrent bars, and one or two builds that are actually viable...

the good thing about making everything accesiable is it turns the game in turn as you can only work on improving your skill, and not worrying about having the leetest weapon or skills available

anyways i probably shouldnt be so critical on everyone, it is what they want, so w/e , its your thoughts

but what i want:

--
Hero Battles (no not HA) to have some sort of reward other then faction

a better GvG match making system that would somehow reduce the amount of top 10 players i have to play in gvgpugs, smurfs, and other guilds that they arent apart of

make PvE more difficult, or just provide other areas like UW

Fix These:
Rampage as One
Searing Flames
Motivation Paragons
Spoil Victor

Remove These:
Heros in PvP (obviously not Hero Battles
titles in my opionion, i think you should limit titles or make them alot harder to show, i.e having higher requirements, having a title really doesnt mean much because most titles u can show in less then a weekends worth of a work

Add These:
Better LFG System
More gameplay situations that would encourage elite PvE and elite PvP to come together, hold hands, and sing happy songs about how we finally all get along

Please, If you're going to quote me, quote the whole thing. Meanwhile, I'm sorry to hear that you don't like grouping with people who are more than capable of completing any mission, any challenge (and has) with regular Henchies who also likes the social interaction of decent PUGs.

Back on topic, I'd change the ABs to have several balanced maps instead of the lop-sided things they've got now. (Even though I do see the reasoning behind the way they are.)

Leave everything to the player interactions, it is basically the essential point of GW. Hell, even PvE is P2P based instanced environment, and the NPC AI has been approaching to human player closer during time.

To say PVP is not important part of GW, is like saying a car's essential function is not getting yourself from A to B.

I'd make Anet hire more people, so they could 1. actually finish a chapter before releasing it, to avoid gigs of updates; 2. settle some overdue technical issues; 3. keep up with botters.

As for the simpler things in life, I'd just like for my FPS to stop dropping to 1 and packets to 0.

If i could, i would...

Randomize Mobs (As in: Spawnpoints, Skillsets (from a list of pregenerated sets that is))
Purpose: Make PvE less repetition of the same. Once you've been through and you've got a somewhat good memory you can predict everything. Boring.

Remove Favorsystem
PVPers shouldn't decide over PVE Areas and vice versa. The PVE influence on PVP has been eliminated, eliminate it for the other side as well.

/edit:
Introduce a TOTAL hero/henchmen limit of (max players / 2).
This way heroes and henchmen become what they're meant to be: Addons, rather than replacements.

BUT
Also introduce a better pugsystem. Something along the lines of a PuG Bulletin where every forming party shows up. You can see entrys from other districts and you can even switch the missions somewhere to see how the situation is in another mission.
Once you've found a party, invite yourself and if they accept, you'll get there in no time. Also introduce the same for players putting themselves up for partying.

If I were Anet, I would make the GW world a bit more dynamic. GW's strength rests in characters' builds, and it's a shame that game world is so static and boring to play in. No matter how great storyline is, it's only good first time through. Who actually cares about Varesh/Shiro taking over the world?? All we want when playing the second or third time, is to get all points of interest shown on the map, and those endgame items. To have any replayability in an online game like this, players' actions have to affect the game world in some way to keep players connected to that world.

Factions has many great potentials that were simply rushed/misused, one of which is the shifting global map based on outcomes of alliance battles. I wish Anet can go much further on this, making the whole game world a dynamic battlefield, with players taking sides and battle outcome far more significant than what Factions gave us. Imagine players as not heroes, but paid fighters, and game world change based on the outcome of our involvement. After all, if most players care about are fame/money/cool items, they are more akin to mercenary than heroes anyway, right? IMHO dynamic interactivity is what the GW world desperately needs, more so than another lackluster story or boring static continent. Players need to feel like been part of a community playing/fighting for something important, than just get together for a mission or a few rounds of pvp. Guild ranking alone just isn't meaningful enough to majority of players out there playing this game. We need more...

If I had the power...

I'd say: chapter 1-3 were book 1, and that book is closed now. We continue with book 2: comepletely new skills and classes. Higher level cap (50)... As a result chr's cant travel between the books or enter each others pvp games. Time to continue with a completely fresh game!

And yes, lots of suggestions mentioned here can be used in that game.

1. Add a key ring to storage

2. Add a drop down to logon for email addresses so it remembers mulitple ones.

3. Add the ability to access all the characters bags at once from the pick character page.

Get rid of the stand-one idea and just have more end game content.

1. Make more FOW type maps that have something to work for in them. Armor weapons etc.
2. Make nightfall and factions like prophecies, run anywhere and do any mission out of order.
3. Don't force people to grind for faction or sunspear point to continue on in game.
4. Make an armor set that cost more then fow armor and harder to get to the area, so sickos can look different.
5. I understand designers want the game played a certain way(and you people do a great job), some people don't want to grind for 2500 sunspear points on all of their chars. At least with factions it was account based.
6. Auction house would be nice but if they have put it in yet they are not going to.
7. Take out unconditional weapons

The people that post articles on the main page of guild wars should play the game, ex 5000 sunspear for general or 9 ranks in lightbringer

Not necessarily more expensive, but harder to get. Something like you must have protector title, certain percentage of map explored (80%), certain experience acheived.

That would elimate the people that buy fissure armor because they can simply afford to ebay it.

But if I had the power to do anything....I'd want to be able to make incompetent people glow...hmm bright pink....so everyone around knows to avoid them.

Remove heroes from HA, encourage man-pvp play, and do something about those boring paragon-based holding builds in death match maps, where you don't kill neither they do.
