What does GW:EN offer me as a PvP gamer?
I have recently been reading all of the information on the website about GW:EN. I havent done pve in the last 4 months or so and it seems that this is all GW:EN is geared towards. I am kind of stuck because I have to get the 50 new skills for each profession to stay competitive in pvp but it that it? Is GW:EN technically a PvE expansion? Will we get a PvP expansion? So basically my main question is "Is there going to be PvP gameplay material/expansion in GW:EN and if not, why?".

I think there's going to be new skills...
Aside from that, though, maybe a new Guild Hall, or two?
That's not much, is it?

100 new skills usable in PvP. other than that, they said any PvP changes will be in live updates, not tied to EotN.

Yeah, 100 new skills, and some new heroes. That's all we know so far for PvP, though they've said other stuff will be through live updates (free).
I say quit whining and let PvEers have their day.

He's not whining, just questioning if there will be additional PvP content or not.

The true boon to gwen is that with the new pve only skills, the other skills can be buffed/nerfed to be more pvp worthy without having to worry about too much whining from pve'rs.

Brass knuckle arena maybe?
We know there will be a PVE one, maybe they'll offer one for pvp too.

Unfortunately, this does not change the fact that he is, overall, correct. Factions and Nightfall were additions far more catering to PvE, and causing far more problems in PvP.
I doubt GW:EN would be any different.

all i can say is why should PvPers get anything all your whining causes us PvEers to get screwed the Sr nerf was because you complain, SF being nerf was because you guys complain. just about every skill nerf is because of the PvP players. also you guys get a chance to obtain weapons that us PvEers do not. so i dont wanna here crap about you guys not getting anything from GWEN. YOU DO NOT DESERVE ANYTHING.

You sir, are an idiot.
Anyway, back to the OP. Basically, GW:EN will be a few new imba skills, and that's about it. Unfortunately Anet have been neglecting some big PvP changes (aside from AT's, which sucked) with new chapters, and since they've basically stated that this is a PvE-only chapter, it'll be much of the same.

Sheesh! The OP comes on and asks some legitimate questions and is labeled a whiner because they're about PvP? Give me a break.
The fact of the matter is that they haven't said much about how GW:EN will affect PvP. It would be nice to hear something about that aspect of the game.
P.S. I'm a PvE person, so don't even go there.

I concur. By the way, I am also PvE based.

After Nightfall, do you want them to add anything to PvP?
They should at least add a few new hero battle maps. They are so small anyway and we need more than the lousy four.

Almost the same thing Prophecies, Factions and Nightfall offered.
Skills (not that it matters since PvP uses very few select skills overall)
Guild Halls
However you just might see a boxing arena, or a Polymock arena, ANET has not fully specified what will be transposed to PvP from the wonderful PvE experience.
