Chilli.2976 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I learnt this the hard way, and have finally found the light at the end of the tunnel.GW2 will never be Esports, it tried and failed. Even if it did manage to somehow prevail you won't be making money like the guys that play Dota 2.The main focus of this game is PvE, its an MMO after all.The population is extremely low (for PvP) therefore your matches will rarely be balanced.We have had the same game mode since release, don't expect constant content updates to PvP.Many ArenaNet staff were laid off, the resources for the PvP team is small.You won't get a job IRL if you have God of PvP on your CV.Some wise words;Still try your hardest to win, though at the end of the day if you lose don't take it personally.

Ralkuth.1456 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I think it's more being serious when called for, and then knowing how to break away from that seriousness to detach and relax.If you don't put any effort into a game, i.e. "stop being serious", then eventually you won't have the purposefulness/will to keep playing. Not even the occasional fun game will save you.Sometimes we just get too caught up in our contribution/investment into something, and feel entitlement to certain outcomes like winning a game a certain way. But, that is actually fine, because you do care about the game - just have to self-adjust after the win/loss and not let the expectation build up to unhealthy egotistical levels.So go ahead and tryhard - just don't let the tryhardiness affect you after the game ends, no matter the outcome.! And controlling your own mind like that takes "true" understanding of yourself; not who you defined yourself to be, but the real personality underneath - no matter how uncomfortable you might be with your true nature.
