I dont think guild wars pvp requires that much skill, infact i sit in AB press the numbers 2,3,4 and sometimes 5. Kill lots of people, until i run out of energy and an assassin uses aura of displacement on me( on my ele ). and as far as killing people goes thats what I look for in games, thats the only reason i played guildwars because of its "pvp", but the satisfaction I get from killing people who get no consequence from dying and just throw silly "you luxons are bad comments" much.
and gear dependant you say? ok let my 500+ armer which i spent months getting have equal stats as someone who spent 10k on armor and just reached 20.
i liked gw for the questing, until my first AB, then I figured where it was heading.
and jak thats cool and all. WCG is what you are speaking of, but there is a list of other games there including CS where skill is the largest/teamwork is VERY large factor, also the chance of any of us getting in are insanely slim, its about 30 / 1000000 chance of getting in I believe, its hard to get recognized you know, even if you are insanely good.

Yea i agree with you here GW in some aspects is a bit lackluster.
Originally posted by SnaKey GW is the only game where PVP is actually repetative.
*sigh*
Yeah because WoW match play is so much more versatile. Come on.
Anyway, it depends on what you mean by PvP. For match plya PvP yeah GW is probably the best game out. Certainly better than WoW match play. For a less structured environment, well it doesn't have that and frankly Eve is probably the best "world pvp" or whatever other term you want to use, but that type of pvp is rather varied and has all sorts of twists and turns about it and the pve of a game.

Try do that against more competive team in GvG.
Guild Wars has most competive PvP than there is any of current mmorpgs and Anet keep promoting it by organizing world wide tournaments with money prizes.

You didn't mention GvG once. If you base your evaluation of GW PvP on Random Arenas and AB's then your are simply being foolish.
AB's are often a turkey shoot. You played a build that was meant for turkey shooting and are somehow let down it worked? Try that in GvG and see what happens.
There is a reason the ladder standings are based on GvG and not AB's. And as for Random Arenas. No game will ever have great random arenas there are too many idiots in this world.

WoW's "PVP" is complete and utter shit.
A Work in Progress.
