Balancing PVP-PVE drops/rares

Please close this thread if something similar has already been posted.

OK now i may not be the best at PVP and im willing to admit that but i am rather experienced at PVE if i may say so.

My problem is here that i am starting to find it a little bit annoying that PVP is the only place as far as i know that can get drops like Gold Crystalline swords and other weapons with the same rarity (HA-Heroes Ascent).

Im suggesting that there should be a way to get them through PVE, maybe a special mission with a end chest that can drop them or even something completely different, im leaving this open.

I also understand that A-net might be leaving it to try and get PVE players to play PVP, though this is also a problem because for a lot of PVE players it can be extremely troubleing and frustrating that they cannot win and connot get into a good group because of rank discrimination.

And i do understand that this is one of the reasons that keeps people playing PVP, but as long as you keep the drops in HA and only "add" them to PVE it should still keep people playing PVP along with a lot of other reasonsto play PVP.

Overall i am trying to say that PVP players do get the chances to get the Highest ranked/Rarest weapons or items in the game and i think that these sort of chances should be shared with PVE aswell.

I hope you agree

More than likely there will be great rebuttal, but I very much agree. Many of the hottest PvE-style items are locked into HA chests that most of the people that care (i.e. the folks that will buy weapons for stacks upon stacks of ecto) won't have access to.

I think the balance here is to make PvE-style items, rare weapon skins, for example, available *somehow* in PvE while leaving general items, miniatures, for example, perhaps exclusive to high end PvP. Also, in general, I think there aren't enough PvP only items.

All rare skins are available in PvE now. Thanxs to GW:EN.

If there's a way to get it in PvE, the rarity will greatly drop through time, and you wouldn't care anymore. Stuff like dwarven axes used to be HoH only, but after it's been introduced to PvE, it's so common no one wants it anymore. It's not because the PvPers get access to the rarest items. It's because there are so many PvE farmers that the rare PvE stuff (voltaic spear, silverwing recurve) eventually become not super rare anymore.

PvE'ers are in no position to complain about a lack of access to high-end weapons. There are countless dungeons that drop awesome shit (Voltaic Spear, Ele Swords, Stygian Reavers, etc.) and elite missions/farming areas (DoA, Slaver's) where you can farm for gem sets for tormented items and so on. Further, winning HoH and being rewarded a gold Crystalline sword is far more appropriate than rolling a dungeon in 30 mins with heroes and henches for the same reward.

Lol, there are plenty of PvP only items, including armour. However, even prior to the PvP reward system update, PvPers didn't really complain about a lack of access to higher-end items or skins... funny isn't it?

I beg to differ on that. The numerous threads of PvPers QQ about wanting access to high-end skins and full account unlocks for them too.

I Understand where your coming from but both PVP and PVE have their own aspects that makes them unique and crystallines may be part of that for PVP but aslong as you keep them in PVP aswell then you should be fine. Also If your worried aout the price dropping why should you worry? If it reduces the Rarity, so what I just want the chance to be able to get them in PVE, I mean alot of PVE players have only won HoH once or twice if not never and it is very hard to get into a good group and win with all the competition. Therfore they currently dont get the chance to get one. Why not give us a chance?
