At least people in hockey actually get hit and hit back. In soccer you have people flopping for being breathed on and groping on the field of play.

Um, you aren't paying much attention then. The bottom line is that Anet puts things in the GS that they think will make them money. Appealing to world cup items is probably not the items that would give them the highest return on investment (not to mention the complete lack of connection to the game in any way). Don't confuse your passion for Soccer and the World Cup with the best ways Anet can make money. That's an emotionally driven argument, not a business based one.

Aaralyna.3104 Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Just grab a nice upper, or whole outfit, colour it in your supporting countries colours with dyes you have, done... Your own fan outfit! On a more serious note: Country/ sport decorations don't fit in Gw2 in my opinion. It's another world than real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suits some games, but it doesn't suit GW2. Bliizzard always does stuff for the Olympics. Those are bigger than any single sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsakhi.8124 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 But, Our Planet =/= Tyria. They don't have much in the way of sports in Tyria, let alone a World Cup that's exclusive to the real world. Why would you _want_ to bring something that's in the real world to Tyria? I don't understand. I play a game to get away from it all, not to step into a fresh pile of cow dung because some sports people are as obsessed with sports as they are about other things. Maybe I'm just really stupid, but I don't see a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offair.2563 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Soccer/football, overpayed cocky kids running after a ball, governments misusing tax money to put down new stadions for billions while the locals get fuck all.

For me, The Olympics is the biggest event. And to the point, why should an online game do something to support or marketing WorldCup? You must be from the USA... Football is a HUGE sport, the Olympics have a ton of different sports in them (including football), and still, their total tv views are barely higher than for the World Cup (some years it's considerably lower)... For example, the Rio Olympics had 3.5 Billion Views (and this is a competition running almost 24/7 for weeks, while the WC has like 3-4 matches a day in the groups stage, then it petters down, considering the ratings are for 1+ minute of views, the Olympics have a serious advantage in coverage), while the 2014 World Cup had 3.1 Billion views.

Epiphany.7125 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 They should do what Blizzard did and have a "Summer Games" type event like they did for Overwatch, where a multi-billion game developer profits hugely by selling random loot boxes that may or may not contain "Summer Games" related merchandise - merchandise that is strangely reminiscent of the sort of gear you might find being worn at any given Summer Olympics - say the 2016 Brazil Summer Olympics - without Blizzard paying any pesky sponsorship costs of course because, after all, the Summer Games are in no way trying to cash in on the Summer Olympics, which are clearly a totally different, non-trademark infringing . . . _**thing**_.

Walhalla.5473 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Nah I'm just glad that we don't have any football related stuff here ( and no not the american variant that should be called carryball ). Its bad enough in RL to see it everywhere ( and I mean EVERYWHERE ) and also on youtube, newssites etc. At least this game is a football free zone.
