Yes Levikilla I agree, but you really failed to let us know why it should be brought back aside from "I liked it",and others here have made valid points. Where is yours?

Hi,I will be starting up some tentative Bi-weekly 2v2 Tournaments on the NA servers.These will start small and eventually, after the first couple gather points for a grand invitational tournament with Legendaries as prizes sponsored by Guild MM. If you wish to enter, the first one will be on Feb 8th, 7 pm CSThttps://battlefy.com/keybas-na-2v2-tournament/2v2-tournament/5e3364f3e2cbce4d0029765d/info?infoTab=details…1.2k Gems 1st place800 Gems 2nd place400 Gems 3rd.I will also stream at https://www.twitch.tv/keyba_ (giveaways between rounds).Thanks✌️

What percentage of players do you think duoQ on a regular basis? Clearly no more than 10% by any estimate. So you are placing 90% of the population at a clear disadvantage for the benefit of the small minority who choose to manipulate the system.And then we wonder why the pvp community is so small. The pvp community was already small before duoq was ever initiated. Balance issues, and lack of support had more to do with the lost playerbase.MMO's historically have not had the main part of their community come from PvPers. And sorry to say but it's on those individuals to find people to duoq if they wish to maximize their chance of winning.Duoq is fine and is not a break in terms of service and neither is using VOIP (or having the same guild tag for that matter).

Honestly, I have said this a few times to myself. A +10 up -10 base would be a good place to start. I find it counterproductive to win +8 +8 +8 and then end up losing -22 from one game.

Blaming the vast majority for not using the same exploit a small minority uses to farm rank is not really a valid argument. There is no exploit if it is openly available to everyone. That is just an excuse for people who choose themselves not to duo q. Exploits are by definition available to everyone, some choose not to use them. In the case the vast majority.I'm not sure if you remember a few seasons back when 1600+ rating couldn't duo q. It changed nothing (which is why duo came back). Arenanet has zero issues with players duo queuing and its not a design flaw, so you personally have every opportunity to duoq with a friend and not get in trouble. Show me the proof of where the vast majority have the same gripe as you and why does it nearly 4 years since the implementation of duo q to come out with this post?

I can see that being a solution, but it could do the opposite. The "seriousness" of ranked is a bit subjective in all honesty as there is no way to measure how serious each individual player takes Ranked. I believe keeping the queues different (like other games do) is the better way of allowing players to have a choice in deciding to play ranked instead of forcing them to for PVP.

Blaming the vast majority for not using the same exploit a small minority uses to farm rank is not really a valid argument. There is no exploit if it is openly available to everyone. That is just an excuse for people who choose themselves not to duo q.

So, in other words, you believe that people who decide to duo queue to provide themselves the best chance of winning vs individuals who solo queue and essentially play the Guild Wars 2 version of Russian roulette. I am not sure the game would be as balanced as you believe if things were just solo queue for ranked, but also the individuals who don't want to duo queue have no one to blame but themselves for not trying to maximize their winning chances. This game mode is supposed to be a bit more serious than unranked. That is why they are separate.

Condition mesmer is actually pretty strong. Maybe you're just not good at it...
