I will do another poll 1-2 months after release to see if our opinion has changed and to which direction.

my review of GW2
i voted high(9) simply because relative to other MMOs out i can't think of one that does pvp better as far as my personal tastes are concerned.
as a side note: try to always include a "show me the results" option in future polls. people will vote just to see what the results are, if there is no such option it will throw the whole thing off...
I usually do but I forgot this time. Anyway, most of the people here have either played or at least viewed videos of GW2 PvP so they should have an opinion.
my review of GW2
Block the trolls, don't answer them, so we can remove the garbage from these forums
The Enlightened take things Lightly
I've never been a prime PvPer but I do take part in it, but PvE is my priority.
I will say though that the PvP in GW2 is the most fun I've had with PvP for a long time.
WvW I gave a 7, it's very zergy and half the time you ain't got a clue whats going on with everything firing off. But I guess the more you do it the better it will be. There's plenty of room for improvement.
sPvP I gave a 6. It's functional and works right. It's also pretty fun but I don't think there is enough variety in maps, progression (yes, horizontal) or game types. Also plenty of room for improvement.
Note though that I would rate almost all over MMOs lower than this.
i'm sure some are voting like this.
most of us are probably using an arbitrary subjective criteria to rate the game though.
in lieau of having any frame of reference on which criteria to use what else could we expect.
TL;DR - i think the poll is just for funsies.
Yo WvW was the best experience I've had in PVP but I gave it an 8, because I saw DAOC threads and some, SOME things brought up sound good, I think rankings or something like that. I really wish I had got to play DAOC, I'd know the differences and similarities myself.
SPVP, MMO wise I gave it a 9 lol, that was fun, and not much I could say "Well if this was added it would be better."
I like WvW the most PVP wise, but think it could be better.
I might get banned for this. - Rizel Star.
I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.
P2P LOGIC = If it's P2P it means longevity, overall better game, and THE BEST SUPPORT EVER!!!!!(Which has been rinsed and repeated about a thousand times)
Common Sense Logic = P2P logic is no better than F2P Logic.
i voted 5 cause a game without world pvp its simply not good enough for more than 5...
...how does having no world PvP make ranked PvP worse?
I gave WvW a 9 and ranked an 8. Both seem to work well, but WvW is still a bit zergy, while sPvP has too few maps and modes.
This is a case of "I'm going to use this poll to rank a totally unrelated attribute".
There is NO miracle patch.
95% of what you see in beta won't change by launch.
Hope is not a stategy.

This games pvp is ass, in MY personal opinion. The reason why I think so is that they separated PvE from PvP. There's two worlds, one for PvE where you are completely invulnerable of attacks of other players and one for PvP, where you can actually attack and kill your enemies.
I hate this kind of restriction. I need freedom, I want to pick my targets. If someone decides to steal my loot or insult me, I am going to teach him a lesson. If I can't do that, I am playing a bad game. Simple.
I love the freedom of EVE Online and Lineage 2 and I refuse to travel back in time, GW2 is a step back for me.
I also love the ever-present danger that comes with unrestricted PvP.
Most people hate being ganked by higher level players or groups of players, I love it. It's exciting. Pure thrill. It makes me want to get revenge and the moment I get my revenge is a blast.
I don't feel I can give it a fair rating, yet... so I didn't participate in the poll.
As far as my limited experience with sPvP, I found it to be pretty enjoyable. What I found is that nobody talks. This may or may not change at release. One reason I like the fact that nobody talks is, I don't have to hear people complain about how much their team sucks. A reason i don't like it is, nobody is strategizing. I'm sure this will be different in rated games, though.
Unfortunately, the times I did try WvW the whole map was taken over and nothing was going on. After 2 attempts, I just did PvE and sPvP in every other BWE/Stress test.
how its unrelated? the poll was about pvp generaly in GW2 and the lack of actual open world pvp for me cannot take more that 5... good or bad. i gave the highest of what it has now.
What you are looking for are the tournaments and I didn't see one pop off at all.
To start an open tournament, 8 teams of 5 have to register.
There were no official tournaments going on during any of the BWEs or the stress test that I know of.
Edit: When I checked it about 20 minutes before the end of the stress test there were 6/8 groups registered, so it is possible that it did kick off...
