i mean i play basicly since the beta and even played gw1. even tho at beta and launch i only played spvp only nothing else in a competitive environment. straight for a long time. then with time i got older reflexes getting worse and i lost interest in pvp in generell. i still like the challenge pretty much but i dont want to play against other ppl. i mean there is SOO much stuff i can do in pve only, the game time is more then there. and besides 2 or 3 activitys i rarely do repeated stuff. and sure different game modes are good for a game for an mmo. so communitys develop. but sorry if you say gw2 doesnt work for the most ppl just as an pve game and nothing else i have to strongly disagree. i know a lot of people. they dont do pvp at all they enjoy the whole pve experience. like jumping puzzle, life skilling, even rp or just collecting fashion. the good and important aspect of having different game modes, different difficulties and so on is. you have way bigger reach for more players trying out and playing the game so the playerbase is bigger, but not that the game is balanced around you do excactly everything the game throws at you but you can/ have to choose depending on your time you can put in.
