Guild-hall and Arena.Net on PvP

As for the topic at hand I think that for probably the first time ever I have to agree with the PvPers here on their suggestions. Like Aniewiel I primarily play PvE but have dabbled in PvP, hence why I've never posted in a PvP thread before - I simply don't have enough experience of it. Usually I think that the 'elite' tend to voice themselves in a puffed up know it all way which puts me off, however on this occasion i think they are right with their criticisms.

I cannot see how suggestions such as the ones below are not a top priority for the PvP side.

>> Detailed player / guild statistics

>> Various ladders with decay, etc

>> re-evaluation of skills

A system like the stats database for UT mixed with the char database of eq2 would be fantastic, I'd eevn pay a quid a month for something like that. The only thing i disagree on so far is UAS but that's been catagorically ruled out anyway.

EDIT: Xellos got me thinking about PvE challenges and I thought maybe something like the mad cow level from diablo but with it set as you holding back the char with a team of 8, gradually overtime the spawns of char get greater and great rushing at you, your survival time is recorded last 5 mins you get x2 xp last 10 you get x3 last 15 get a cool chest of gold drops? and the best time ever is recorded for posterity on the website to beat?

So I'll try again.
Anet said, play the game, quest for free skills, so you will be able to unlock all other profession after the desert.
I'll say to you that I stay in pre-seraing Ascalon until lvl 10 :shocked: where I quested for free most of my skills, so many that I did not need to buy new ones until Yaks :P
Many skills you can quest for free in pre-searing Ascalon, are only available to BUY after pos-searing, and that is a fact.
Even questing for all my first and sec class, I needed many, many hrs of endless grind to accquire more skills points, to be able to buy signet of capture to grab all ellites for both professions.

So now if I change my sec profession for lets say a necro, I'll need grind for skill points, since I know that most of free quests for that class are available on the catacumbs in pre-searing Ascalon. I'll need to grind for skill points to buy this skills that I could get for free on low lvl areas, that we can not go back to.

The Ellite skills should be available very early in the game, troughout quests only! That would make easy lets say you need such and such skills for this build you go and quest for it, can use even a your main, or a new char to do this.So would be worthed change classes, and would make easy to jump to PVP without need to go all over the game to cap this and that, with hrs of grind for skill points.
Skill points to buy cap signets, is a big issue, and I hope they can see that.
If they can't, I ask how many times you can to this game without going crazy?
Sorry to say, but pve without drops to reward your efforts, is dead as PvP without the UAS and fair faction.
That is a fact!
I play the game as it should be played, now I ask, what I got from that?
2 classes to pvp
A elemtalist anything since I have all air/earth/water/ellites/ Mo
or a Monk anything/El

That is all I have after 989 hrs playing all quests, and the whole game.
I play it that is a fact.

Cheers

The PvPers say ANet is ignoring them. Ok... let's catagorize what exactly they want. We already know about the "grind" issues. What else needs to be addressed to enhance PvP play? What were the complaints of all those guilds the OP said have left? Get the issues "on paper" and then we can discuss what needs to be done.
