Yeah. I'm thinking she has finally found a game and profession that fits her playstyle and since there is no gear grind in sPvP, she doesn't have to wonder if it's skill or gear determining her level of success/failure. Your girlfriend has skillz in this game! So be happy for her!

BTW, I think the only pvpers who aren't going to like GW2 sPvP are those who think they are good PvPers in other games due to a gear grind advantage. For every person who shines in GW2 PvP, free of the yoke of a PvP stat gear grind, there will be those who find the discovery that they aren't very skilled after all a bit of a let down. :)

not sure why you continually feel the need to spread false information on the game

"The biggest con is that there is no way in hell this game will become an e-sport." I'm copying that because I feel like this will be editted, but lets see if you are right or not. I'm pretty positive it will become an e-sport due to GW history and the basis behind the design of this game.

Today is the day. Arena Junkies is now featuring Guild Wars 2 in addition to World of Warcraft. We took a long time to consider and have seen many games get hyped and fail to deliver, but we strongly believe that this will not be the case with Guild Wars 2. The strong focus on competitive sPvP and tournaments, the growing scene with high caliber players from many different games now starting to play GW2 and the recent beta tests have given us high hopes.

I'm tired arguing with fanboys. If you guys think GW2 will become an e-sport without HUGE changes you are seriously deluded.

At any rate, see you in WvW!

Well considering the e-sport community is already getting behind GW2, I'd say it has a good shot at becoming an e-sport. It obviously won't happen over night, and it'll depend on the players and the developers together. However, as opposed to WoW, I think GW2 stands the best chance of becoming an e-sport.

Yay.

And to otinanai123: It might be because you have nothing better to argue about, and if you hate arguing with "fanboys" so much and being proven wrong, go to some other forum of a game you like. You sound like Bilbodoggins, who hates our community but will come on these forums to complain regardless of saying that he wouldn't.

She died from 84 level lock. Rogue 85lev full pvp geared destroyed from 84 lev lock  lol. Do i need to say more ?

Man, a well-geared and well-played warlock can own ANY class AND you just said she had a rogue, well....I cannot think of two classes MORE different than the GW2 elementalist and the WoW rogue....seriously. 

Maybe she just found the right class for herself, or even the right game.  You act like it's a miracle or something or like something is wrong with the game.  Maybe she's just more compatible with the GW2 elementalist than a WoW rogue.  And maybe you're feeling a wee bit threatened since your gf might be able to own now?  Maybe?

WoW didn't become an e-sport. How about you tell me why GW2 will?

edit: deleted to avoid getting a temp ban or something heh

I think alot of people are simply making guesses at the cause behind this.  However, your issue truly concerns me, so I'd like to provide an answer based upon a deeper understanding of your girlfriends abilities.

As such, please send her over to my apartment for the weekend, after which I'll be able to provide an in depth analysis of her skills and talents.

because i care.

WoW WAS an e-sport... So what's your point again?

I'd say the main reason is how MASSIVELY WoW PvP is was part of the reason.

GW2 isn't balanced, but the level gear field does a LOT.

So your logic is that because WoW is no longer(it was) an e-sport (despite the fact that it's never balanced, and it's constant gear progression), GW2 won't become an e-sport?

Lets put it this way:

If ArenaNet can keep sPvP balanced, it'll do very good. If it's fun to watch (most important), it'll become an e-sport. Not to mention, it's extremely difficult to understand WoW PvP unless you are a regular player. All it needs is a spectator mode, which is coming post release. As I said, the PvP community across many games are already interested in GW2. It offers an easy to understand combat system, with effects that make it fun to watch (to me at least), a combat system that has a very high skill cap, everyone is on equal footing, so the only thing that matters is your skill. Not to mention people can employ different strategies depending on what map they are on.
