There's no 4 game modes. I think there's only 2. So that question doesn't work for me. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's PVE, PVP and WvW serving the purpose of this game's OW pvp, which is PVE/PVP mix. 5 minutes ago, tim.8632 said: I understand where your coming from with that and agree in principle. that's why I said it's anets job to figure it out.

tim.8632 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Maybe for clarity, I'll say jp\racing\rp fall under PvE. just like raids\stikes\etc. fall under open world\instanced. or "anything that happens in open world maps" 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim.8632 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 so I'll just put this out there, since I've asked twice and no one wants to answer. if you had to answer in the context of "4 game mode" what % would you put in each? not a hard question, be honest... 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes, because there is no context in that there are 4 game modes in my mind so that question doesn't make sense. If you want the answer to the hypnotical question of the 4 game modes. You should make a new thread. This thread is you asking others to convince you there are 4 game modes which is not what the question is. It should be more like how much percentage of players do you think play OW/Raids/WvW/Conquest etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When there are 4 game modes each gets 25% so you get 100%, right? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Nobody wants to answer", because that question tries to avoid whether or not anyone agrees with your "4 modes" theory in the first place and instead skips right to the "%" as if that's supposed to change anything. Here's the question for you though: 7 minutes ago, Sobx.1758 said: I'd say it's PVE, PVP and WvW serving the purpose of this game's OW pvp, which is PVE/PVP mix. Within these 3 modes how do you think the percentages wortk out? From what I see they work out perfectly well.

Humor everyone and admit the actual point you're going for here. It's not about how much you care about more specific distinction of the modes or w/e this thread is masquerading as. It's simply to leverage easier/faster rewards wherever you want them. This is seriously getting boring. Try playing the game instead.

How is that "not a hard question"? I'm not even sure what you're looking for. The number of hours the playerbase spends on each, each week, broken into a percentage? How much content there is for each? What are you looking for? More than likely, nobody except Anet knows. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believable 😄 So just a quick reminder that you've missed a post: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/121410-there-are-more-than-three-game-modes/page/2/#comment-1756140 Actually it's making a similar point you've mostly ignored that "things can almsot always be further divided into smaller parts". Why do you stop at OW and not on Mob Killing, JP, Races (divide those into OW/instanced and mount-specific ones too), crafting (divide into disciplines), gathering (also) and so on?
