Please allow the arena for pvp
couldnt agree more, conquest isnt even near the coolest pvp mode i believe, we should get 1v1 arenas and team deathmatch, i know balance is a big problem, but knowing everyone would have the option to stick with conquest mode or create another profession character, i dont think its a problem so BIG as the lack of those kind of pvp =/

They could just make it clear from the start “hey we won’t be balancing around this, but if you want to do it then here it is”. That would be great. I don’t care if another class is “better” for 1v1.
As for the death match, yes. If GW2 ever wants to become an esport they have to move beyond this conquest stuff. People aren’t going to watch that, it’s just not fun. There is a reason LoL has moved so far ahead of every other esport (them getting the staples center for worlds is proof enough tbh). The games are complex, but still exciting to watch. GW2 may have some complexity, but it’s really boring to watch. Add in dm, ctf, any other modes that encourage direct fighting.
If you haven’t noticed there are a good deal of your players that enjoy pvp. Not the boring conquest system you have in place now, but actual pvp. You know,where we fight other players. That’s what PvP means.
At this point in time we use custom pvp maps, but it would be so much nicer if we could actually use the arenas. We aren’t asking for a leader board for pvp, though that would be great, all we are asking for is a dedicated map that we can use properly. This sounds like a perfect addition.
Allow players to queue into it, setup everything just like pvp and then fight.
Anet this is a please for actual pvp to be put into the game. What you have now isn’t even pvp most of the time. It’s boring hold a point, and that’s it. If you want GW2 to work as an esport it has to be exciting to watch. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the numbers on your viewers. People fall asleep watching it as it currently is. Look at what LoL is doing right and go from there.
Aren’t there more than enough games that have just killing (i.e. Deathmatch) as their main form of competitive PvP? What’s wrong with the point control system being main PvP form? Just because you don’t like it, doesn’t mean that others agree with you in distaste. I see many people who enjoy that the focus is less on killing and more on control & team coordination on maps. So please, do not dismiss GW2’s PvP as “not PvP” just because it’s not to your particular liking.
As for your request for “arenas”: No! Absolutely, positively, 100% NO! Why? Because that leads down a slippery slope of making a horrible community (and I mean putrid, bile toxic community). And that’s beyond bringing in the many, many shouting threads about “balance” as related to 1vs1 fights. Nope. I don’t see this as ever happening and I would never in 1,000,000 years wish it upon this or any other game (save for a game designed exclusively for arena fighting, like the Pirates, Vikings, and Knights HL2 mod).
1v1 would be fun, mostly if it takes place in an arena.
