one of the main ideas of gw is that u don't need to have been playing since release to be as good as some one that has.
anet had promise they would focus on rpg! I have been around a lot longer than you. these debates are not new to me! This game at it's core is rpg!

I am here to remind them of their promise.

i have proven meny debates! exmples of rank,Iways,skill etc.

If it is anything pvp players should not force pvp on to us rpg! they do have a voice! the plaer base is rpg players! You would have never ever seen me here in the fourms if it was not for the elemetal update.


If gw is not an rpg it is open for false adveristment!

You want things to be blown way out of proportion with weapons abd items? Go back to Battle.net in Diablo where you belong.

However on a similar note, all PvE weapon attributes should be unlockable in PvP, including rare combinations.

Godly weapons. We have those. Can't afford the ones Herbalizer has? Well thats part of what makes them godly.

I thought greens were to fix the problem of it being too hard to find even perfect weapons in PvE?

The connections between PvE and PvP are there and won't go away. If they did, ANet would eventually be throwing away half their product by losing the link. Favor of the gods, transfer of characters, unlocks, its all a system to keep their product together as their product rather than fragment in a direction the player-base wants and they themselves can't stand running.

because there is no place for them in a game like GW?

HoD Helms used to be PvE only: they also made the game pretty much unbalanced.


Also, as previously mentioned, there ARE PvE only items: Candy Canes for example.

mustly it will not happen skins and armor are for pve only,pvp only characvtors have the same stats and unlucks.

The only thin I can see anet doing is make it so you can't change your armor in pvp.

pvers would only get made so i can't see it happening.

*sigh* I personally do not find PvE too EASY. Especially not the latter parts. Which would explain why I have STILL to finish Prophecies. Not everyone is an "über" gamer... please remember that.

AND; if you find PvE so "ridicilously" easy... why not try doing it WITHOUT max Armour. Or weapons. Just because it's there doesn't mean you HAVE to use it if it is the challenge you are after!

I personally wouldn't mind the option of picking up some extra good/godly armour or weaponry to make my life a little bit easier.

Note; I always play with henchies and at most 2 other people. And that won't change. GW has always had the option to play the game as a "solo" game... and that's what I like. Me and my friends can just go in when we have time, have some fun and log out instead of sitting for 2 hours looking for a decent PUG (do they exist? )

No thanks. I'll just run around in my FoW and Zodiac stuff and be content.

May be off-topic (appologies)

Less uber weapons, less expensive armours and more elite areas like fow and uw, and not like the deep or warren.

Wake up. The game isn't focused mainly on PvP - Jeff Strain said so himself. And if you think the ridiculous argument about the title means anything:

1) Do you craft stars in Star Craft? Do you spend Half Life with your health bar always at half? No? k thx.

2) The Guild Wars are actually part of the story of the game ("OMG it has a storyline!!!" - yes, it does, had you actually paid attention to it and you would know that).

And why do you think that the PvE players want uber weapons, a higher level cap, or more grind? That belongs to WoW, not GW. One of the best things in GW PvE is that you don't have to spend hours grinding to have fun, exactly like Jeff Strain said a long time ago. There are some whiners who want those features, but they are more likely people who wish they were playing WoW but don't have money to do that. GW PvE, regarding level cap and items, is fine as it is. It needs some improvements, but not on those areas.

Just like PvP, PvE is based on skill and not having uber items. On that note, anyone who is flaming PvE players because "PvE is really easy" and "PvE doesn't need skill" can feel free to shut the hell up. If the PvE part of the game is too "easy" for you, then DON'T PLAY IT. Let those who enjoy PvE do so.
