Guild Wars Insider recently had a sit-down with three of the more PvP-savvy ArenaNet developers – PvP Systems Designers Matt Witter, Mike Ferguson and Jonathan Sharp. In the interview, available in audio as well as transcribed text, the three fellows really let their love for the Guild Wars 2 PvP shine through and they sound like they are having a lot of fun with it. The gentlemen also share some new details about the Guild Wars 2 PvP systems, like how a PvP lobby will offer a PvP-specific tutorial available for those players who want to jump right in.

It will also be a place too where new players can come in and pick up the tutorial on just PvP. Because we’re assuming that you can come and just make a PvP character if you want to. Maybe you’ve never done any of the tutorials for any of the other PvE content, and if that’s the case, we wanted you to be able to jump in and understand what’s going on before you get thrown into a PvP match. We’re going to have some tutorial stuff that you can do there to figure out what’s happening in the game. - Mike Ferguson

Other subjects include the possibility of an observer mode (planning one, but wont be in at release), how it felt like to be beat by fans in PvP (they deny it ever happening) and inspirations for making Guild Wars 2 an e-sport (everything from soccer to boxing). Read the full interview here.
