Guild Wars 2

I am getting really tired of all the Zerging in WvW and am craving something along the lines of The Queen’s Gauntlet. The gauntlet was the best content to me I’ve done in this game. And since it’s gone, there is no real fun way to 1v1 people.

My suggestion is to make a queue system where you can literally 1v1 people in various gladiator type of arenas.

This would bring forth leader boards of longest matches, most damage dealt, Shortest matches, titles, gladiator armor and weapon skins, many other achievements.

I doubt Anet would do this due to people complaining. But I want a real PvP experience, not just who has the biggest zerg. What’s better than just 1v1ing someone and seeing who is better on your own terms? It could even be like the Queen’s Gauntlet was where you can watch people duke it out. (there would have to be a strict time limit then) or people would grief.

You could have instanced arenas where people fight and can use obstacles to their advantage or pick power ups for a short while. Making the matches able to change drastically. Making it not just about the best builds, but the best player awareness and skill.

I am literally to the point where I want something challenging and not just zerg like. (I expect to get somewhat flamed from this post)

Making this thread for anyone wanting to make extra suggestions on what could come up with for this topic.

tl;dr
I want true arena style fighting 1v1 style.

Another idea for this would be queuing for ranged or melee arena matches. Say where you can only use ranged attacks. There would be traps to avoid and jump over. Picture Pendulums and Fire.

Then melee only matches. Where you have to dodge an angry crowd and have to avoid things being thrown at you such as knives, and explosives.

not to rain on your parade as I would really like the idea of a 1v1 death match or team death match but have you considered dropping down to a much lower tier in wvw and trying that out? its not perfect but it may help you find more roaming/1v1 fights

I see no parade, but ok. Also that’s still not 1v1. That’s running around for 30 mins to maybe fight someone that isn’t even PvP ready. Then either kill them way too easy, or be ambushed by 2-3 other people. Resulting in endless frustration.
