The price you pay for designing and balancing combat synergy around 5 players holding a node. This also creep into pve where most combo fields, boons and traits boons are literally melee range, making the game become melee oriented. Hence, the cancerous stacking on and for everything.
They thought it is fixed in fractal with mistlock instability-social awkwardness, not really, you could easily heal through it.
Spammable cc is a bad idea for competitive pvp.
Good riddance GW2 ESL. My guess is they will attempt to revive it on next expansion.
Arenanet had probably greatest opportunity to bring mmorpg into competitive esports, but sadly they were too slow at fixing shit. It's really a shame because kinda enjoyed the PvP in the game when it launched.

They should honestly tried to make the PvP better before starting on the E-sport thing instead of the other way around. GW2 certainly could improve it's PvP to be good enough for E-sport but as @PinoX say, they need to get rid of the stupid stacking mechanic first (and it would improve PvE as well).

The money and fame blinded ANet.
There was no foundation of balanced skills.
Constant Players versus points (not players)
F2P lie of being competitive upon download when runes and amulets are under paywall or HoT expansions.
Once Colin and Grouch committed the lie, they ran it till they left the company.
and.... Amazon now have them on their next MMO.
Actually, said me. One of the most avid Guild Wars players here.
I would disagree with that. PvP is fun.. they just don't know how to balance classes very well. It's one of the more fun PvP systems out there.
Thats quite a self-proclamation there.
Tastes differ, but the PvP is what has kept GW2 rolling up untill today.
In term of balance, I agree.
PvP gameplay itself is quite fun IMO.
When you don't want the truth, you will make up your own truth.
The pvp was terrible.
huh? I'm pretty sure the cosmetic items in the cash shop is what have kept GW2 rolling until today.
Engineer explosives still bad, enemies dance on mines, shrapnel does nothing, and across the whole game Conditions still don't crit. So yeah the game as far as pvp is terrible what's worse is they balance PVE around it as well which crushes several builds everytime there's a major change.
