This forum is going poll pointless... Why is there no option to remove PvE?

You should have selected "other" then state why.

5 years and we're still using the "soon" word, lol. Which translates to "ish"?

From my experience, to make your life miserable!!!

You can transmute it to get rid of the footprints.

Well if they're listed as full and see no transfers off, leave the dang server locked...

Then my choice is enjoying the game as it is. But plz do something about the cost and items for the legendaries. They are already far over priced then the ascended weapons.
Are we talking 1st or 2nd (collection) gen? If 2nd I hear you. I quit mine when I saw all the mats required.

Why would I spend Marks on an Ascended weapon with no path to making it into a Legendary when I already own a Legendary?

Apparently you haven't read the entire thread and they claim to speak for the majority.
In your context an entire new set for OWPvE would give you that but this thread is about wanting another path to the Envoy armor in Raids.

That's the problem. Functionality is not what this is about. They want the skins that are locked behind certain content.

I'm with you on this. Once the initial Deny is done, that should be it. If you want to join later, there are ways to do that.

Only attacking AI....Sounds like it has PvE elements to me which makes it a unique mode of play that is both PvP and PvE that has a unique objective thus creating its own mode of play. But hey do i know, it's not like WvW isn't just RvR by another name, which also had elements of PvE in it.

Don't forget those broken walls... I might have to actually PvP to get more supply.

Not really. The whole point is to justify a reason to have access to Legendary gear no matter how you split the game.
Basically " I play this way and I want Legendary gear". Just splitting hairs at this point.
I don't care for PvP, so I don't play that mode. I sort of like the idea of Raids but I'm not willing to invest the time learning the mechanics to complete them. WvW is by far the easiest to obtain Legendary gear other than being time/rank gated, then toss in all the mats required which you cannot farm in WvW efficiently. Now I have to grind PvE or gem/gold conversion. I do this after the ticket cap.
So where does that leave me?
Edit: I want The Shining Blade solely for the skin. It goes best with my fashion wars outfit. Why do I have to grind PvE and leave my comfort zone to get this? I can change the stats as needed on my Ascended one but...

The point trying to be made is differentiate OWPvE from Fractals/Raids to justify the former to have it's own path to Legendary gear.

They are part of the expansion.

I want my shiny skins!!! If you don't constantly have to swap out runes or stats for a specific encounter, they are just bling bling.
You'd probably transmute them anyway.

Well, besides being developed as a "waiting room", it was also supposed to be used as a testing grounds. Why not...
-
New maps only with the player base involved with it's design. No surprises!!!
I don't care if it takes a year as long as we are involved and test it...

I was looking for "Other", lol.

Just remember that the WvW Ascended version you are talking about is not required to craft the Legendary version. They are purely cosmetic skins.

What ever... let's try this. "Functionality". Of the 3 game modes, in which order would you prioritize the need?
As far as I'm concerned, PvP was a flat out reward.
Edit: Let me know what happens when you take your PvE gear into PvP.

True that both are PvP but one is group and gear limited and the other is not. PvE/Raids all use the same format.

Raids are your PvE access. Core will open access to F2P? I think they should remain and tied to the expansions.
Just my 2 cents which is really worth alot...
[Suggestion] Commander Tag
in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

1: I don't mind but should be abbreviated to "Comm".
2: Won't happen as it's been asked for before by WvW players and Anets response was they want everyone to be inclusive. But you're asking for PvE so it might happen, lol.
