Concerns about the PvP and why it might not succeed, though I want it to very much!

Question : Will PVP be only for lvl50 or it will be by 5lvls tiers like in every other MMO?

Level 30, Level 40, and Level 50 only, if the beta was anything to go by. So if you're under level 30, no pvp for you. Maybe when housing pvp is out, but I wonder just how expansive it is.

Is housing pvp 1v1 only or can we setup team fights?

So we don't even get an open world dueling/deathmatch system? >_<

Nope a 4vs4 / 8vs8 arena for now with proper matchmaking and pvp systems, then for 2.2 or 2.3 there will be realm vs realm

I knew about the arena. Very, very disappointed we don't get any kind of voluntary open world dueling/deathmatch system. Not happy at all.

Oh no, I missed the words Wolf's Den when the devs mentioned their plans to address specific content.

Quick, everyone get high and mighty.

I can see how you would miss it only reading half of what is said to you. There were posts directly above yours explaining the one line of info as well as many in this thread. There is also a QA thread as well as multiple threads and posts on it. You not only missed the one line of said information.

Yiou outright ignored posts telling you that information. If you think I am acting high and mighty you should examine your personal feelings and confidence. Ive merely told you to actually pay attetntion for once.

Your white knighting and turning a blind eye does nothing to help SE recognize the problem.

I read that, and skipped your several paragraphs ranting about god knows what. I did laugh at you, because if you actually read my statement you would realize it was sarcasm.

Hello all,

We will also be implementing new equipment and skills in patch 2.1 specifically to aid in balance for PvP. And as Yoshi-P specifically mentioned last week, we will continue to look into the causes for any lag that might occur and counter them to ensure players have a smooth experience.

Does this mean they will consider putting some server's in the EU so ALL the game can be playable and not just PvP ?

Had some more insights into PvP that we wanted to drop here for your discussion:

In the Wolves’ Den you’re matched via the Duty Finder with the regular 4-person party setup (1 tank, 1 healer, 2 DPS). If you’re looking to mix it up, you can make your own party, and organize the setup as you like. Also anyone organizing their own party setup will be matched with a team doing likewise, and not a randomly organized party.

Be sure to check out the next Letter from the Producer LIVE XI (Dec 14th), where we’ll be focusing a lot on the Wolves’ Den, and doing our best to answer all your questions!

well that's unfortunate, because during the beta test it just matched any 4 people together. So now you're telling us we have to wait for a tank for PvP when enmity is an irrelevant consideration in PvP gameplay? That's not to say that tanks won't be effective but PvP is not traditional gameplay so why make it require a traditional party setup?

We don't quite know how the new tanks work in PvP yet w/ the new skillsets. It could be a thing where a tank can force you to target them for a while similar to other MMOs making them useful. I think it's a good idea for random teams to at least have some composition to them. Also, keep in mind that post-patch warriors will be in great demand, and their DPS is adequate enough for pvp.

However, the whole thing about "if you're in a pre-made team you will only fight pre-made teams" is a little concerning, as it feels that there will be 2 types of ranking. Ranking with pre-made, and ranking with randoms. I don't know how seriously they're taking the PvP scores though. I just want more information on what options are available for housing pvp just in case.
