When I decided to start playing PvP it came the novelty of the Isle of the Nameless and the Zaishen Challenge, which was a pertinent help.
The Isle of the Nameless is still usefull to try to understand skills, weapons and some manners of fight.
After this, and now, I just play in the Random Arenas. I am looking forward the day or the month ¿or the year? in which I may be able to play in Heroes's Ascent or Guild versus Guild. These styles have been probing to me elusive until now. I have not yet found a suitable manner to join a team (think I keep visiting HA to try to find out what could I do), and I have not yet find out the manner to find a suitable guild. Think I have been in two guilds, the first had just changed to PvE when I joined and the second had the Warrior's guild hall which I dislike. I have started one guild but as players did not continue I disbanded it. Just to complete the idea: The people with whom I have played more regularly were PvE players, I never though to join their guild, and they have stop playing a month ago.
Therefore I still patiently stay looking for a manner to play these elusive styles.
I hope that the kind of game styles that
GW:Factions brings will easy this... but, I do not see it crystal clear. As in my view, of the guild's thing, I do not like most of the emblems as I do not like the middle ages designs

I like rather either modern or vanguardist designs or prehistoric looking designs... Nevertheless, I may look for a Luxon sided Guild once GW:Factions comes. As well as the HA thing which again is rather taut, ...
I do not think that I need to be encouraged to start PvP games, I think I need
material means, ingame, to join the different PvP styles.
