First let me say that I am extremely happy with this game.
Now on to my complaint. Most of us players don’t have 24/7 to play a game. We wanted a game where skill>gear. We are extremely happy about this. It does bother me though that I can’t play with a friend or 2, on the same side in spvp.
I think Guildwars 2 is losing a huge influx of players from this. Many former WoW players (like myself) have just left WoW because we are being forced to play Rated BG’s now (healer stacked borefests) to even get good gear. Most of us don’t want to play with 7 strangers. All we want to do is enjoy a game with one or two friends, a couple of hours a night.
I suggest that Guildwars allow up to 3 people to join SPVP together and be on the same team. Why? Because this was the same number of players with which people arenad with for years on end in “that other mmo”.
SPVP is 8 vs 8. 3 players is not even half of a team. I don’t see how this would ruin the fun for other players. As it is, you probably have more people leaving spvp games, when they get put on opposite teams (which leads to unbalanced teams), then you would if you allowed 3 people to queue up.
Anyways, great work on this game, and I hope you consider my suggestion.
