Every week, when I do guild missions with my guild, I do the PvE ones and then leave for the PvP/WvW ones.
I get some whispers sometimes why I don't do PvP/WvW. I play this game for almost 3 years and done 4-5 PVP matches and 1 7-hour long WvW session.
EVEN THOUGH this games community "WAS"() way better than any other, there were still competitive players that can't handle the fact that someone else is better than them and find excuses that their team sucked or someone else and NOT them. And they keep playing solo queue or with people they know are bad cause noone else want to play with that kind of players!
Here is the thing. I work at an Internet Cafe for 15 years, and I see "first hand" how toxic competitive game communities are. ALMOST ALL of them with no exception. The only exception is that some are not at the same level as LoL or DotA "YET" but trying hard to catch up!!!
() I say "WAS" better, cause all that changed as fast as 1 week after the game went F2P. Since then, the community of GW2 is going downhill. Maybe slowly or not noticeable enough yet (!!! ofc it is noticeable, but lets say you choose not to notice it).
Things that happen WAY TO OFTEN nowadays but where extremely hard to come by before? :
- After the F2P:
ONLY ZERG OR KICK
There were 20+ lfg like this...
- Before:
p2 all welcome
- After F2P
It will take me 30 days to make by time gated crafts for ASC gear?! Arenanet, please...
- Before:
Sweet, I have 1 month to gather mats and do more achievements in the meanwhile
Now I could go on about this but post got big enough already, so lets leave it at that.
PS: Just a small PS for Arenanet. The community is not what it was and not in a good way. A post I saw earlier said a few things about PVP. Here is the part I agree the most. (So take the money you're throwing at eSports and use it to hire talent that will fix your game!). I can tell you that the people that are leaving money at your game are not the F2P young audience (with some exceptions ofc) that came to check the game and maybe stayed more than others, but the OLD players (and by old I mean OLD as in AGE) that enjoy this game cause of its NON TOXIC environment/community.
