snowflurry.9624 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Why would i waste precious game time (and rl time) watching someone else play when i can play for myself? It doesn't make sense. I only watch special (official) streams like the one on 30 august, presenting the new LS season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gw2 is free. so most people play the game rather than watch stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiviana.2650 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Well op its because wow holds competitive tournaments, with big prizes at stake. You have the arena championships , the MDI dungeon internationals, the top spot for worlds first boss defeats. Many of those with large dollar prize pools. There is a lot of competition in wow at the higher end of game play, that makes for people that like pvp/raiding/ dungeons to have something to cheer on. I have watched the arena tournaments and the commentators and play callers do a fantastic job of calling the play by plays. It fun to watch people good at what they do. I could never play like that, but i like seeing others do it. Watching them counter a setup that would have killed me, or be the first to take down a mythic level boss, or run a perfect mythic dungeon in record time. WoW has a very casual base, and it also has a hard core base, and lots of the people that will never do the high end stuff like to cheer on their favorites that do.

Ayrilana.1396 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 After seeing threads like these, I believe it has to do with the toxicity of the players and I’m not referring to the elitists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this thread and the Teapot one a few weeks ago. Also with how toxic a percentage of the player base are in regards to more coordinated content of the game which tends to be more enjoyable to watch.

SkyShroud.2865 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Gw2 just isn't as popular as other titles, the obvious difference is number of streamers.Logically, the more populated the game is, the more streamers you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really unfortunate that this so called "welcoming community" can be so toxic and offensive against anything they just don't understand and/or like.

Its a visual migraine, they seriously need to put in an option to mute spell effects from players. I cant even see the boss aoes because of all the other clusterfark going off on the screen. Its not clean at all. Its why i hate large group fights and raid bosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply not being interested is toxic? I do watch twitch streams, but not GW2 streams. Im just not interested. Should I go pretend to be interested and watch, even if I actually rather be watching or doing something else?Don't get me wrong, it would be wonderful if streamers did alright, for the streamer anyway.

IndigoSundown.5419 Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Relative lack of audience. Relative lack of playable content that would draw views. The game vomits effects onto the screen, creating a visually unappealing mess. I don't even want to watch it for very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
