PvP players = Second-class citizens.

One more time, the upcoming update includes a ton of content for PvE players and none for the those of us that enjoy the competitive aspect of the game even though we paid the same amount for the game.

That made me think:

so far, how many updates were for pvp players and how many for the pve crowd?

PVE: October 2012, November 2012, December 2012, January 2013, February 2013, March 2013

PVP: October 2012, November 2012, February 2013, March 2013

It wasn’t so bad, but after march Anet clearly changed their mind about pvp development:

PVE: 1st april, 30 april, 14th may, 28th may, 11th june, 25th june, 9th july2, 23th july, 6th august, 20th august, 3rd september, 17th september, 1st october, 15th october, 29th october, 12th november

PVP: 30 april, 11th june, 9th june, 6th august,

Also “custom arenas” were announced in 3 different patches I ommited the repetitions

All in all:

PVE only patches: December 2012, January 2013, 1st april, 14th may, 28th may, 25th june, 23th july, 20th august, 3rd september, 17th september, 1st october, 15th october, 29th october, 12th november

PVP only patches: none

You do know we have multiple teams working on all aspects of the game concurrently, right? You can’t compare the output of one team to the sum of all output from every other team.

I mean, I’m good but I’m not that good.

Sure, it would be nice if we had more bodies working on PvP. That wouldn’t really get things to you faster, but could increase the number of things we’re getting to you.

Although the Anet guy seemed to take this personally. I’m not sure I like the snippy attitude, seems a little unprofessional. But at least we know they’re people and not robots.

Don’t worry, I didn’t take it personal. I try to not be too professional on purpose, trying to find a happy medium that is relaxed but not off putting. At least, that’s what I’m programmed to do.
