Guild Wars 2

Dear ArenaNet,

Custom arenas are coming and we, the members of Dragons in Exile [DIE], are really excited!
We have a request: could we get a custom arena (BETA) next update (30 April)?

Dragons in Exile is a Dutch speaking pvx- guild in the Far Shiverpeaks server with 500 active members. The players we have in our guild are casual, semi-hardcore and hardcore. We already existed in gw1 with the name revolution23 and have been playing gw2 since the first beta. In other words, the DIE core loves Guild Wars! We are really organized and motivated. As an example: in a guild event like guild challenge we have around 70 players up in TS. Because of this good organization, we were the first in the world to finish Guild Bounty tier 3.

So far, we have had every week 1-2 spvp events, doing tournaments or hot-join. Since launch we have been waiting for the custom arenas, so we could make better events, see how to play and defeat certain professions and learn pve-members that spvp can be really fun too if you know how to play it!

Wouldn’t it be a good idea if a pvx-guild with not all hardcore spvp players could test the custom arenas for you? How will it be used in a pvx-guild? How much success will it have? How useful is it?

We would have a lot of fun using/testing this custom arena and give you some good feedback. I made a support ticket first, but GM Vagrant told me i had to post it here, because otherwise i can’t reach the development team.
We are looking forward to your (possible) answer, hoping for the best.

Kind regards,
Dragonar, Member of Dragons in Exile
