Guild Wars 2

Hi, I was fortunate enough to be able to open a Custom Arena at the get go and honestly find the feature really nice and well thought out. However, there are a few fundamental things that are, in my opinion, absent at this time.

First and foremost: There should be a way to add administrators beyond the person who created the arena. For the purpose of a passworded server intended for Guild and personal use only, it’s a minor problem if the person holding the arena isn’t on.

Second: We need the ability to “kick” players to easily clear the server without banning them. Or perhaps just add a “Clear server” button in the menu. When my friends and I want to use the server, only holding 2 reserved slots to maintain progression, we often simply get locked out. This is fair to the community and unfair to the arena holder, which seems to defeat the purpose to me since there is a large number of community servers.

Third: Reserved slots. Piggybacking on the above, I’d really like to see more allowed reserved slots beyond 2 (without losing progression). I don’t really see the point of favoriting a server and regularly playing on it if you can never get in when you want to, which is a consistent problem for my friends during NA primetime.

Fourth: If admins are willing to accept “No Progression” I think there should be expanded customizing options such as disabling capture points entirely, allowing WvW practice (when you enter you have your PvE set up) and the ability to reset traits in the arena. I’m sure there are more feasible options as well.

Also, I doubt its a bug, but I can’t seem to figure it out: passwords seem to reset and get eliminated entirely when the admin logs off. My guild mates were playing in my arena with a password and twice now, when I leave, the password goes away and the server is then open.
