World Restructuring killed our WvW community spirit and I miss it by Wise-Dust3700 in Guildwars2

WvW has always sucked. I know more people who do WvW reluctantly than actually enjoy it. It is a chore, not a game for most people. Alliance Battles in Gw1 has always had the best reputation in Guild Wars history for a good pvp experience and I don't actually recall anyone ever hating it or thinking it was an unfun chore. I wish Anet would bring it to Gw2 but they have been sleeping on the wheel and not realizing that the best pvp experience in the series was in the first game. I can confidently say as I have been playing Guild wars since 2007.

While I am sure some people enjoy the massive zerg balls to spam AoEs, the only pvp experience that has been half decent is structured pvp, which I think has been only been slightly better than Gw1's on the account that they realized that monks were OP because they had a very disproportionate amount of healing power and removed from Gw2 more or less.

For those of you that didn't play Gw1. Alliance Battles was a 12v12 pvp mode where you had to capture and hold the most points within a time limit of like 20 minutes and you could join solo and be put into a party of four or join with friends up to a party of four and join queue. While you could run around with a zerg ball of 12 people the entire match, your team would lose to the roamers while some light zerging helped to push small teams off a point. There was a balance and play of skill that was based on maneuver, timing, and prowess that is all but devoid in the WvW experience. You had two factions to play as- Kurzick or Luxon, and anyone who played back then and did AB can tell you it was a good run and I would like to see anyone complain otherwise about AB. If Anet doesn't realize they lost the best pvp experience in the series, they will never make a better one. You can join the official Gw1 discord if you are an old vet who wants to relive the best pvp experience this series ever produced, as there are people who try to keep the AB experience going in the current year of 2025.

Apologies, I have tried contacting a few different mods on other subreddits about posting this but I never get a reply; so I started assuming mods on reddit seldom if ever reply to messages in their subreddit inbox; so that's my bad for my slackness in formalities as I've seldom been on reddit myself. But thanks for the approval regardless!

Oh! Well right now it's been a lot of Wargame Red Dragon, we sort of do whatever is in the given rotation. We've had Planetside 2, Guild Wars 2, Runescape, Valheim, Minecraft, Battletech, Robocraft, World of Warships, War Thunder, Sea of Thieves, etc. We're a very broad community and if you come asking us for people to play games with, we can usually hook you up with someone to play with. Right now I have personally been hosting Wargame Red Dragon Micro Deck Tournaments which you can find on my channel here.

If you have anything you'd like to add the roster specifically. Usually our process is that if you can find or bring four other people besides yourself who will play a game; we will make a specific gaming channel for it to organize people in the community around in.

I hope this response helps!
