Guild Wars 2

I think the gauntlet is a great idea. But as long as we have NPC bosses at the lower tiers (I doubt anyone is farming Liadri!), players will learn the patterns and find ways to defeat them quickly for obscene amounts of gold.

So instead of that, why not have dueling between players? If you want to test skill, that is real skill. And no way you an duel an even half decent player with crippled, exhausted, frailty, burning and crowd favorite.

well we have pvp anyways

I’d like to make some gold along the way too

If gold can be earned, it would be far too easily exploitable. Ever heard of fixed matches?

You wouldnt. You cant reward dueling, or people will just take turns losing in order to attain rewards. Especially with the gambit system. Not to mention this has already been put in game, custom pvp servers, feel free to purchase one and set up your very own duel instance

That’s a good point. Match fixing would come into play. But custom PvP servers don’t earn you gold at all – in fact, they cost money.

so unless you have some ideas, I’m afraid your suggestion would simply be too destructive to ever come to fruition.

Exactly. The 8 professions are not balanced for 1v1, this is a team based game, both in pve and spvp/wvw. The game is not built around it, is not balanced for it. Since people seem to want unbalanced dueling so bad, i see no reason for them to profit gold by it. If ya need to stroke your kitten that bad, buy a custom server or join one

Filter, sometimes I wonder if you make things worse….

There is an problem with you suggestion. Dueling and gold rewards? I foresee people rigging matches for their friends which will be worse than the farming problem. One possibility is to simply disable the gold reward for this system but it probably will be neglected due to this.

And thanks to windows update blocking my view for several minutes I didn’t see others have already made this point.

Anet could let the dueling players put up their own gold. And charge a fee to set up the duel as a gold sink.

Can we add the option of both players piloting golems provided by the Asura?
