I am sorry but the underlines is BS. GW 2 has NO world PvP, there is one zone, mirrored for the three sides and one center zone and that's it. There is NO PvP in the rest of the world, that is pure PvE.
If you compare land-mass you got maybe 90% which is pure PvE and 10% which is PvP.

No.
WvWvW isn't PvP, it's more of a strategic placement of forces game. Yeah, you shoot things at the other side, but that's all you do. Try going into melee when everyone else is ranging each other down. There's no real player vs player aspect - it's group vs group. On that off chance you do run into a solo player, help arrives in seconds, and that 1v1 you were hoping for turns into a 1vzerg.
sPvP - A little more fun with more actual player vs. player fighting, but most of the points you need to rank up come from capturing control points instead of defeating other players.
Obviously just my opinion, but that's what this thread is about, eh? To the OP - if you think this sounds appealing, then right on - jump in and start playing.
@ OP, I don't think you should asked any PVP question here cos non of this forum user are a professional PVP gamers.

At the moment probably not, however I am pretty sure that eventualy Anet will make GW2 pvp pretty good, or even great. I say this because I've been playing GW1 for years and I know that Anet does work on their game alot, and i know they have some big things planed for GW2 pvp too. Hope they hold their word... What i would suggest to you is keeping on track with their PvP updates that will be coming pretty soon now, and decide for yourself if the direction they went is ok with you...
+1
Seems to me that some fans tend to make it up as they go along, yesterday it was GW2 has the second largest player base.
To the OP.
GW2 does not have world PvP it has sectioned off PvP that happens in one tiny zone compared to the rest of the world. You will never be out in the open world and encounter an enemy player or run the risk of being attacked while questing, it's carebear to the highest degree.
The Myst is a zone that is apart from the main world it's not an instance as such but it's not open world PvP that's for sure.
And no it does not beat WAR RvR.
It plays like a cross between daoc and unreal tournament.
The entire game Is like daoc frontiers but with fps combat and vehicles but minus the pve.
Gw2 is a good attempt, but I'm not feeling the realm pride I felt in daoc or planetside.
The server shuffling and not seeing the names of the competition make it more short term.
You need good enemies as well as good friends to make pvp long term, I can't see myself playing WvW for 4 years like I did daoc, because it lacks rivalry, or the year or so I played planeyside. I still think of myself as hib & smurf now, the otherday got my gw2 server mixed up, thought I was on gandara but I'm on gunners hold.
This is one of those statements I just don't know what to say to. Why stop there? If you are going to make stuff up, let's say Top government officials around the world are having so much fun playing GW2, they have abandonded all their political agendas. As a result, all nations wars will now be battled out in W v W v W causing a massive breakout of World Peace. GW2 has ended all wars.
Exactly. That is why i just laughed and ignored it. Making stuff up is nothing new though. Couple of weeks back he posted a topic regarding new server being added to GW2 and we all know that due to W v W v W set up. Anet will have to add two more servers to balance things out.
No one could find that imaginary server though. Just like no one will be able to find this imaginary world PVP.
And how he can see it for himself? i am sure he must have seen youtube videos or read about it. Only other way is to drop 60 bucks and then 'see' if he likes it or not and that is exactly why he is here. To read players experince and opinions before he decided to throw away his 60 bucks.
As far as opinions are like arseholes....that is exactly what you do on these forums like rest of us.

don't they still offer refunds? Guess if he didn't like it he could just request a refundI angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
Don't encourage this please...lol!!
IMHO its worth the $60.
The PvP and PvE both make it worth the price of admission. PvP does have some issues at the moment but overall its a fun experience. Same with PvE.
For $60 its a bargain with no sub fee, even if all you did was PvP.
Just my opinion tho.

Do you? Even if they can make more money by offering it? Isn't it better to grab some of those gamers on the fence and let them decide for themselves rather than lose all of them? There are very good reasons for companies to offer moneyback guarantees. Not to mention being a more credible and reputable company.
I hope they will do their trial smartly, so that we don't have armies of trial level capped characters invading WvW. I guess there will be a time limit too, like in GW1.
Respect, walk
