It's more the fact that Anet doesn't care about PvP and even let ESL die rather than investing a bit so the balance doesn't suck.I mean.. I am still always hoping there will be some changes and improvements but let's be honest.. A company that discards their eSport League because of lack of interest in the game mode and that abandon their brand (back then) new game mode (stronghold) rather than advertising and improving it speaks for itself imo. If you want to enjoy TDM then I'd suggest playing custom games on courtyard or something. While yes it can be lame and easy etc. That's the point. For new people starting the game, it is much easier to understand how to participate in a game where the object is to beat the other team. Grab a build that can fit a role and kill the other team. Then as they learn more advanced builds/mechanics etc they can improve. Jumping into conquest in it's current state is just an epic fail....you have to know your class, the enemies class, your role, the other roles on the team, the right comp, when to rotate when not to rotate, to fight on point or kite around the point...and that's just to be half way decent....it's a lot of information for newer players and makes the barriers of entry unreasonably high IMO
