Dear ArenaNet,
PvP is completely dead in GW1. I hate to say "I told you so" but I have about three years of content on GWG and this wiki you systematically ignored which told you that if you didn't get it together, Guild Wars would be a dead game.
The pinnacle of "eSports" today is League of Legends, which is pathetic not only because it's so buggy it makes the broken mechanics look tame, but because the company who maintains it is more clueless than you when it comes to orthogame design, and that's saying a lot considering you kept Shadow Form in the game for 3 whole years. Right now the biggest "competitive" game on the market is a game where you're actually encouraged to cheat as much as possible and use as many bugs as possible to win without any fear of punishment. It's like Guild Wars where every player is White Wasabi or a member of Rebel Rising. It's quite possibly the worst major game title ever made, and it has a very active pvp community in addition to an even larger casual community. The thought that League beat out Brood War, CSS, and Street Fighter makes me physically sick. And you know what? You're to blame.
Guild Wars came within a micron of being an eSport - the first true MOBA eSport. Until GW1 hit shelves, only fighting games, FPS, and RTS were televised. GW brought a new genre to the competitive gaming community that was exciting. It gave us guilds like EviL and War Machine. It created tombs legends like Power of my Rangers and The Zaishen (shameless plug detected). It spawned the GWFC. And then you let it fall apart. To this day, there has never been a pvp game that has come remotely close to how good the pvp in Guild Wars was (before Nightfall). Guild Wars could be the big thing gamers talk about today had you paid one ounce of attention to what the pvp community needed.
I want to make Guild Wars a huge eSport, not only because I love the game and I know it's true potential, but because I don't want garbage like League of Legends to be the future of eSports. If anyone is up there who worked with me, you know this is something I am capable of and will see through if given enough cooperation. I would have applied as a designer on your careers page, but none of the open jobs on either site have anything to do with what I want to achieve (and I don't have 4+ years professional c experience to apply for programmer).
I'm a walking tank of ideas ready to revive one of the best games ever made. All I need from you is to care about your players and do what your company's mission statement says.
(I would have contacted you on the GW2 forums, but you need a GW2 account to post there, and I'm not about to pay money for a downgrade of a game I already own three times over.)
