you need balance to be a sport / eSport, it took 10 years to evolve the metagame and balance starcraft 1 with only 3 races..., warcraft 3 with 4 races never got to the point of balance... sry but I don't see any MMO with 5+ races being an eSport...
it can be competitive, but I don't see it being an eSport |

Originally posted by rpgalon Interesting bro eleborate more, I'm all for opinions and would like to know more about balancing? I'm little off though because racial abilities aren't in the competive PVP? Just a little bit off on what races have to do with the mode we are talking about since everyon gets same stats for the mode we should be talking about. I'd like to know more of what you are talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ns-IIn-DG-c Try to argue this please. Oh also if you quote me and it's to argue my point, if I don't respond it means I haven't been corrected by you and/or I haven't seen it. Remember I don't mind admitting I am in the wrong. Take care :D |

In many real life sports, organizers do the same thing that Anet is planning to do with GW2
It is more common in sports like: Golf, Poker, Dominoes, Karate, Judo, etc. in which there are open qualifiers for everybody that wants to participate to show up and you don’t know who are you competing against. Notice, these qualifiers are full of bad players that need to be screen out prior they can qualify to the Pro tournaments.
If you do good or gain enough points in those qualifiers then you move up and play people at your rank. Otherwise, you stay behind.
That’s exacly what Anet is doing
Is it perfect? No, but it is competitive.

Originally posted by Jetrpg In Guild Wars 1 you have Guild vs Guild with a monthly tournament. You always compete with other guilds for a ranking (if you decide to take part that is, there is also nonranked GvG). And each month certain guilds qualify to take part in a monthly tournament. How is that not competitive pvp? They already have announced that there will be structured pvp in GW2 too with monthly tournaments (and maybe other periods havent checked lately). As for the word 'competitive', its already competitive if two teams (or players) compete for a win. I agree though that strictly speaking, calling pvp competitive is like calling water wet. |

As interesting as this all is, I just want to point out again that its official name is Structured PVP, not Competitive PVP. |

I fail to see the point of this thread. It's hard to debate other peoples definition of what they want to see or call something. The OP thinks that "PUG"= not competitive. Some will agree and some will disagree. I am good with how the developer describes it. |

Originally posted by SteeJanz Me too thast why the devs call that hot join not competitive.... The replies in the thread kinda prove my point.
I mean call it w/e but at this rate why change its name in the first place (other than marketing) "Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one ..." - Thomas Paine |

Originally posted by Jetrpg Did you click on the link. Eric Flannum describes two kinds of PVP. WvWvW and Competitive PVP. Sorry but your not making any sense. They are marketing their Structured PVP as an e-sport because it is competitive. |

Originally posted by SteeJanz I did but according to ANET pug = not competitve and Pug = hot join. What is there to confuse? "Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one ..." - Thomas Paine |
