Guild Wars 2

Whether through implementing a duel system, restricted pvp servers, even a non-randomized version of team-arena from GW1, I’d really enjoy seeing a more local form of pvp without random players being added into matches.

It’s unbelievably common to see a server with 2 combatants who are simply friends attempting to have a 1-on-1 match for fun. It’s also common for their fun to be abruptly ended by less courteous players who, despite being informed of the circumstances and asked to leave, begin outnumbering one of the original members until another random player joins, and another, etc. until the intended small, local duel becomes a 6 vs 6 war.

I’m speaking from multiple experiences with unwelcomed guests to my own matches with a friend and a match I spent as a spectator which within seconds were filled with unwanted, and often extremely unpleasant players who seemed to make it an objective to do all that was within their power to ruin the fun after being asked to leave.

I’m sure after the game is already released ,designing and integrating such a system would be incredibly complicated but I ask that you please, even if an entirely new system is impossible, make an effort to assuage this issue.

I second this idea, a few guilds I’ve gotten myself into, entertained the idea of doing a local tournament with only the members of the guild participating. This was great I originally thought, but… No local PvP.

Kind of disheartening when you want to give your best mate a beating for his mockery of “cat people”… My axe sheds no blood of allies this day, tis sad.

Though are there really that many disruptive players in PvP? I admit, I haven’t got much time on structured PvP, at the most, I played about 10 games and those on my team and the opposing side haven’t had any sour moments. Again this is just my experience, what server are you connected to?

I tried in both Sanctum of Rall and Fort Aspenwood. Out of several hours my record uninterrupted session was 3 fights (either my friend or I killing the other). In general people simply rejected our wishes and kept on their merry way however a less than favorable number of encounters were much more…hostile to say the least.
