Quit, may come back for PvP

It doesn't "add another layer" it completely smothers the game. Doesn't matter how unique you think your spec is, it's just different ways to spec into dodge invulnerability.

If you hold GW2 up to same scrutiny as ARR, it's a total mess. People just give it a pass because its GW2, and supposedly a "pvp game" even though it tried to be an eSport and FAILED MISERABLY.

The PVP in this game is very basic...or lacking. I'm enjoying it, but it's weak compared to other games.

You'll be disappointed if you're into PVP. Go back to GW2 or WAR or SWG

It feels kinda like GW1 PvP which was great. It's all I have been doing since 2.1 hit, and I love it. The opinions vary a lot, as you can see.

You can indeed still run it to help others.

This is just the first event, there will be more...

On a mechanical level it's not basic at all, unless you consider the PvP of WoW or other similar games to be "basic."

GW1 pvp > GW2 pvp

And there is a reason people say ARR pvp is similar to GW1 pvp. It's because there is actually some structure, give and take, countering, and mind games.

GW2 pvp is just twitchy circle dodging all day. It doesn't even have healing. There is just no structure and teamplay is terrible. ARR pvp, even in this basic state, is better off and has more potential than horrible GW2 dodgefest.

We can argue all day, but the fact is there is nothing differentiating one player as a specific class with another character of the same class, everything is the same, no different specs, no talents, just necessary pvp skills you have to grind out in order to not get slept for 30 seconds. You're grasping for straws, and your argument makes no sense for anyone who has played gw2. Healing exists (water fields and blast finishers, or guardians, or necro leech heals), dodging is not buggy at all, and as for teamplay? Well, I would argue holding points in spvp is more skill based than the 1-2 minute clusterbomb that is FFXIV pvp.

Check back when frontlines makes an appearance ^^
