LOL, was just about to say the same thing...

The fact is that most people need something to work towards to keep playing ... they no longer pvp just for the fun of pvping ... it's to get gear / complete quests. That is sad... NO mmo will ever get it right... they will try something completely new and everyone will complain about it because it's different.

I agree, more achievements for medals is needed... not that it's game breaking but would be cool to get each game.

1. If you have a TON of free time and play your butt off, expect to outpace the release of content. 2. If you pvp for purely the gear then you're not a pvper... pvpers pvp for the simple fact of pvping. 3. The game is 6 weeks old... it has 60 valor lvls to grind, which for most will take a good amount of time. Again, if you have nothign to do but play 12 hours a day, I suggest going outside and expect to be ahead of the content curve.

They just said they are changing pvp gear to help the gap for new 50s ... most believe it's a reference to pvp mods being added to crafting rather than an actual nerf to the current gear. This will allow new 50s to add expertise mods to their gear to help them in pvp. I don't believe official details have been released. At least that i've seen.

I pvp as 5/33/3 using Combat Technique and do very well... I had only 300 expertise until last night, and still hung well in WZ.

^^^ What he said.

This made me lol in RL.

GW2 pvp is not an MMO pvp ... let me get this straight everyone here is all about getting their pvp gear and complain when they don't. yet they are going to go to a game that not only bolsters your stats, but gives you skills you don't yet possess and EVERYONE the same gear? Really, that's what's fun? Go play an FPS if that's the kind of pvp you want.

Dude I didn't even read that wall of blah blah blah, but based on your title here's my feedback... THE GAME IS 6 WEEKS OLD! FFS man, give it time... it launched with a ton of content. NO game, I repeat NO game will ever launch in this utopia of perfectness you wish for.

The problem with MMOs nowadays are those type of players. The expectations of a pristine, bug free, perfectly balanced, game that launches with absolute unlimited end game content where everyone can get gear in a 2 days. And when it's not that, it's "THIS GAME SUCKS, FAILZ, *SUCH AND SUCH* IS A WAY BETTER GAME, I QUIT." THEY are what's ruining MMOs.

Yeah, it's kind of the same story in any pvp MMO that has gear. I used to have to deal with these growing pains a lot in WoW. It was bad for me for about a week. A couple pieces (even off set pieces) makes a HUGE difference. It gets better quickly.

I lvled infiltration spec and always used Theran... less downtime and I always went combat technique when fighting elite mobs and equipped a shield.

yuppers

My understanding is Crit for pvp (burst dmg) and power for pve (constant dps). Crit can work for pve too I imagine.

I love lvl 50 pvp ... and I don't have full champ yet (only 1 main set piece). Who cares, I just pvp for FUN.

Uh ... NO WE DON'T. Go back to WoW for arenas. kthnxbuhbye.

U pvp for the wrong reason.

Seems good to me still...

Have never seen this... but now that i just learned of it I'll expect it 8 times tonight...

You're on a pvp server... if you don't want to pvp roll on a pve server. Smh...
