Good thing about the g.arena is you can change it up as you please. Couldn't tell ya how many times i was in an arena that you could almost swear was some sort of environment Come on. You know that's not what I mean.. The guild arenas are all boring flat areas. (yeah, you can add walls, traps, but they're pretty basic..). You can change it up however you like, but it's still not going to be as fun as a duel at the edge of Mount Maelstrom's lava pit, or on the floating platforms in Metrica, or on the bridge in Fireheart Rise or in the Divinity's Reach garden or .. you see where I'm going with this? Also, you have to leave the map. Dueling would be a fun alternative to sitting afk waiting for that next world event. No one is going to give up their spot on the map to do it, but they would if it was available to kill time.To many carebears for open world pvp duels to even be considered sadly. lol

Bring dueling to PvE! It's annoying to meet in a guild hall or join a random custom PvP match to 1v1 someone. It should be like WoW where you can request someone to duel you. If PvE guys don't care anything about dueling, then you can add a setting in options for them to check that automatically blocks out any new requests. Easyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

A commander that doesn't die and wipe the whole zerg would be the best commander.

Thanks, now I'm having this terrifying mental image of an entire alliance of nothing but Scourges. Imagine an entire Alliance that only accept scourge players, demoralizing. Think I'll stay in PVE land for a bit longer. It is scary :(

Scourge ruined GW2's PvP... lets face it. I am excited about this new alliance patch but fighting against a million scourges just takes the fun out of it. If nothing is done to scourge then the PvP population will die even more. Hell I am considering to get back on my thief when I play WvW just so I can wreck scourges.

ANET can you give us an update on when you might think this "WvW alliance" patch might happen? Just a rough guess would make me happy. Thanks

Gen 2 legendaries can be bought from tp now? Oh wait You don't have to collect a legendary if you don't enjoy getting someting in wvw man. If ANET didn't have this requirement for making pve players play the awesome wvw mode, then wvw would be even more dead. "Guess what? You don't have to get that legendary you want... lol Just pay $150 and buy it from the trading post. Support these awesome devs man! Great game and great company." How does that comment even remotely have anything to do with me enjoying wvw? You said" buy leggy from tp", I asked "how can you buy gen2 leggies?"Now your answer is... "You dont have to get a leggy if you dont enjoy something"Really? True story bro. It's either:Deal with wvw and get the gift of battle/legendary or Don't play wvw if you don't like the game mode and stop crying. Butttttt... If you go with option 2, you will still end up crying because you won't get that legendary you want. So..... Option 1 only works. Sooooo. You assume i dont wvw. Which i do daily 4-6 hours. Now that we got that cleared, bro, would you be so kind as to tell me the way a Gen2 legendary is purchaseable via tp? Oh. There isnt one.People just wish they had bought them when they were 500 badges each.Also GoB is perfectly doable with dailies alone. Within 10-12 days. But complainers will complain... It is my bad. I misread you wanted a newer legendary. Sorry

If a carebear complains about it... surely it will make pvp better right? Guess what? You don't have to get that legendary you want... lol Just pay $150 and buy it from the trading post. Support these awesome devs man! Great game and great company.

I feel you x100. It's frustrating man... I have had many many games where I am explaining what people should do and they completely ignore my requests and get steamrolled somewhere. So many people just throw games on purpose and because of that, you end up losing. Since no one else cares about winning and I lose all the time, I am starting to feel the same way and I don't care as much anymore. I don't even try to tell people what to do because they literally don't listen. Why even try in a match if many of your teammates just die over and over and don't even run away from fights they cannot win. At this point, because of the low population and the thrown matches, I am like everyone else who doesn't care and I just go for the rewards and don't try as hard as I used too. Sooooo many games I play teams who actually have teamwork and the team I am on is like a bunch of chickens with their head cut off. It's like people don't understand how to play spvp at all... no rotations, no teamwork, afkers, people who dont care and throw games on purpose, and not to mention.... This Necro/Mesmer meta this season has ruined it for me and hundreds of other people playing ranked. It's not fair..... Why did ANET think creating the Scourge with massive AOES in a point capture game was fair? They are tanky, do insane damage, steal life from you, and also provide barriers or extra health to nearby teammates... like wtf? I have hope for the Alliance WvW patch and after this season and getting my ascended gear in ranked spvp I have no interest in playing much of season 12. Oh and the toxcity... hahahaahah that's another thing that is horrible in ranked pvp. Heck in many games a person was literally yelling at people and saying stupid stuff to teammates and we won the game!!! Like wow bro... I can't be as good as you.... Bow to your godlike gaming abilities oh mighty one But this is the issue: People don't care anymore. ANET needs to create a tutorial of some sort for SPvP to explain proper rotations and how the mode works in general with everything. A wall of text won't work because people don't want to read it. You need to make a video for new people or anyone to watch so people understand the gamemode.

I wanted to point out this guy's post as he words it pretty accurately. It's not that anyone believes Arenanet employees are sitting back and having a good laugh while directly rigging matches by hand. When they say "It feels rigged" they are referring to whatever the algorithm is doing when it places us into a predetermined stature of winning or losing for that day, regardless of if you are peaking and breaking skill limits or maybe even playing a bit poorly. <- This isn't satisfying play and it makes it so actual player skill is taking a backseat to the algorithm's predetermination. This is frustrating and it does not feel good to play at all. Guild Wars 1 random arenas "that had absolutely no match making algorithm in place" felt like more balanced match making than Guild Wars 2 and it still does to this day. If the algorithm in Guild Wars 2 is having so many problems with a lower population, maybe it's time to consider removing it or heavily altering it's functions. YES! Make matchmaking completly RNG with only the people from your tier. If it can't find enough people in your tier it needs to throw in a few players that are in equal skill to even out the matches.

Something feels off about the matchmaking system. If you look at your friends and guilds leaderboard most of them are at a ratio of 50:50 for wins and loses. I feel like the system makes it so everyone can enjoy the same win/loss player even if you are a bad player. Literally at random I go on 4-5 win game streaks and when it hits a certain point in gold 3 or gold 2 you get put on reallllllyyyy bad teams that just have no clue how to use teamwork and beat the enemies. They just throw matches like they aren't even trying and you are facing well organized better players and its obvious. I doubt those games are within 50 MMR, the system does that on purpose to drop you down where it thinks you belong in the ratings. Then once you won your 4-5 games with semi okay teams you are put on the crappy team on purpose to lose 5-6 in a row. It's not total rng with getting players in ranked matchmaking, the system places people with certain people on purpose. No wonder why people end up quitting or hate ranked pvp. The system needs fixed.
