Well, it sucks that you can't use your PVE character in PVP, you have to create a whole new character just for PVP. I've tried GW pvp but it didn't work for me. How many people can you have on each team? Was it 6 or 8?

What are you talking about? You could use your PvE characters for PvP. You just couldn't use the insta-PvP characters for PvE, for obvious reasons.....

And unless it's changed with the expansion packs, it was 4vs4 in arenas and I think it got higher than that in Guild vs. Guild battles, like 6vs.6. And then in the big tournament tomb place (forgot the name) it branches off into 4vs.4vs.4vs.4 as you get into the higher branches of the tournament.

It's 4 for team arenas, and 8 for guild battles. Alliance battles have 3 teams of 4 for each side... there are others too that i cant think of off the top of my head.

I just need they need a higher lvl cap and more interaction with other players, as well as stronger bosses. Doesn't everyone think so too?

You can?! Really? Hmmm, haven't notice that. I thought you couldn't use your PVE character in PVP and had to create a brand new character

Nope. It wasn't designed for PvE. It's like putting PvP in a game designed for PvE. The mechanics don't balance out correctly, it just doesnt work very well.

Personally, I see the PvE as a tool for getting skills and some time to chill with my guildies and alliance buddies. (which ironicaly what the ArenaNet team's goal was) I dig what they have done. I wouldn't change a thing. It requires thought, (synergy between complex skill descriptions anyone?) requires teamwork, and combines fun competitive gameplay elements to make a great PvP game. And it's just that, a competetive game. By nature, PvE is not comepetitive. So it seems maybe a game that's design model is driven towards cooperation instead of competition would be more your style.

Also, if you are still stuck on the whole "GW needs better PvE" thing, try the two new chapters. The PvE quality in those has jumped substantially.

Not to mention that GW2 seems to have a bit more of a consistent world, with world quests, and some more PvE elements. It should be interesting to see. But still, the GW franchise is built on the foundation of Competetive PvP gameplay.

I certainly hope it stays that way.

I play GWz all the time, I absolutely love it!
I'm insanely addicted to earning Titles and ABin'.
Heroes' Ascent, I believe, is what the newest PVP area is called.
Started up at the release and am only gonna cut back for WAR!
