1. For god's sake mmo gamers, enough with the analogies. They're unnecessary and your comparisons are terrible, dissimilar, and illogical.
2. To posters feeling the need to state how f2p really isn't f2p: Players understand the concept. You aren't privy to some secret the rest are missing. You're embarrassing yourself.
3. Yes, Cpt. Obvious, we're not industry experts. Now run along and let the big people use the forums for their purpose.
I think you miss something- After some time most of players have high level character and attacking low level is provoking revenge and most of the time that low level guy wil get some help from guild mates what can escalate in one big aweome pvp battle
I have yet to see people happy with world pvp in games not designed with world pvp in mind. It amounts to little more than corpse/res camping waiting outside of towns in lower level areas to pwn noobs, and whining when you get pwned.
Dont get me wrong, I love me some world pvp, but the game really needs to be designed with that in mind from day 1. It cant be just a switch you turn on just for the sake of having it, because the rest of the game can suffer. Having a not unsignificant death penalty, and yes, some safe(ish) areas are part of a good world pvp system as well. It just wouldnt fit in here with the current rulesets, without completely redesigning the game.
Yes and thats the main reason i played it after World PvP vanilla days , they gave me a world where i was able to kill that kind of guys,all the time,if my aggrometer wasnt high enough because of general chat (dirge an** jokes),i went to their forums and maan i was ready to kill some more,with tight character control it was heaven.

You report them.
No,i kill them,it is real pleasure to kill them a bit and then make them die,and it is not possible in this game,might be in the future who knows.

how is that awesome? Lowbie getting ganked, cant play, cant enjoy the game, now there is a full out war in lowbie zone and NO LOWBIE CAN LVL.. oh also there would be a holes out there knocking opposite factions off jumping puzzles.. I repeat it WOULD NOT WORK in this game in fact.. I doubt it would be as popular as it is if world PVP was there.
no i'm with you there, but it's always a numbers game in open world pvp. if you have some massive guild, then stomping the lil guy and his few friends isn't a lot of fun. again why i really like the GW2 WvWvW system (at least while population sizes are solid). you have 1000v1000v1000. when it becomes larger zerg vs smaller zerg vs almost no one the third team, i think it may start to fall off a bit.
I don't see what the big deal is. You can still, technically, gank lowbies in WvW. They may be scaled to level 80 in base states, but it doesn't take into account armor, weapons, buffs, food, and additional utility and elites abilities you'll have. A low level character hardly stands a chance against a level 80 on, but at least they are a threat if not handled. WvW is ArenaNet's take on Open World WvW. It's been discussed into the ground like a million times, take it or leave it. Frankly, this game has so many people playing it --- no one really cares if you choose to leave it.
Edit: You clearly didn't read my article on WvW by now. You should read it, it'll take about an hour to roll through.

Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?

There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Exactly the kind of attitude I'm happy not to have in GW2. If you go as far as harassing people on their own guild forums because you've killed them in a video game, in my opinion you seriously need to grow up.

the problem is that wow breeds idiots like this as there is zero consequence. Blizzard has rules they do not enforce in fact they promote harassment, stalking ect by doing nothing to stop it even though they have clear rules against it. So please do not compare that steaming pile to GW2 =P Also their forums follow the same guidelines.. they allow for harassment with none to little consequence.
+1
what happens if we guess the criticism? I've seen so much blood on this forums, as did many... Don't we deserve a panda or something?

Maybe what you are really looking for is intelligent NPCs... you know, the ones that sneak around in stealth and try to kill low level players and never stop chasing them and often wait for you to ressurrect so that they can kill you again and again.
You don't need real players to do that, they could make NPCs deadly. But then, getting ganked by a NPC all day long isn't anyone's idea of fun now is it? You can't kill them, but they can kill you. Oh the rush!
The 2 week turn around on servers will prevent this from becoming a problem. If a server only fields a few small guilds and individuals for WvWvW they'll keep losing until they meet opponents in the same situation, or of the same skill. It's safe to say the servers at the top of the ladder will be actively playing in WvW and organised. The opposite will be true for servers at the bottom end of the ladder.
Remember... all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more.
if i read their forums where people are rolling on the floor and laughing all the time and they see trolls everywhere,how im harrassing anyone,you think that i talk with them?? its my sword which talks sorry,seeriously you think that i start writing something that is my main reason to kill these folks? seriously,think a bit.

Brilliant!

Oh wow this is like thread #294724
First of all WvWvW is not instanced... seriously guys at least learn what an instance is.
Secondly.... no. Gw2's take on WvWvW is imho vastly superior to the gankfest and griefingfest that a small minority of players seems to like.
Remember: you are a small minority. People do not enjoy ganking and being ganked.
For 1 happy ganker there are multiple unhappy ganked players.
And no: attacking and ganking low level characters is hardly funny imho. I'ts just lame.
Yeah i know "hey! i only attack players equal to my level because i like a good challenge and i'm a nice guy". Yeah right. We know that's a lie and maybe only 1% of the gankers are like that.
GW2 wvwvw >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> old owpvp
tl,dr If you think ganking and griefing is very important in a mmorpg don't buy Guild Wars 2. If you like massive owpvp in a separate world then buy GW2
Because it would be stupid lorewise and mechanical wise. And because it will separate the community. Not to mention frustrate people playing a game.you need to check your eyes.. I said it breeds idiots I didnt say that all wow players were. I enjoyed wow for 6+ years but you cannot tell me with a straight face that the communtity doesnt decline daily in that game or you wouldnt have come up with the ridiculous scenario that you did. Also I didnt break any forum rules so exactly what would you report me for?
