Hello,
My nickname is Spell. I was founder of EternalMists.Net which lets be honest was failure, because of lack of interest in GW2 SPvP streams. I was aswell playing as a sub with many really good teams and players and was part of Mace Stun main team for quite some time (didnt play Paid tournaments for around 2 weeks already, but still got 17 QP on EU), but after a while i started to lose interest in this game due to lack of changes in sPvP content. I wrote here idea-patchnotes that I had in mind for quite some time to maybe inspire Developers to start changing this game.
1. SPvP F2P Accounts:
- Only able to hit level 2 in PvE then instantly teleports to Mists and blocks Lions Arch portal and “Leave Mists” button
- Only two character slots
- New servers for F2P characters – accessable for both F2P and B2P players
- Not able to gain rewards from tournaments – Chests, Rank Points, Glory Points, Gems – except QP and tickets
- Not able to send mails, use trading post, create guilds, whisper to people that are not on f2p player friendlist
2. Custom Servers:

3. Hot-Join SPvP:
- Segregate based on current amount of players, maximum amount of players, current map, map rotation type, amount of friends in game, server number
- Types based on player amount: 5v5 or 8v8

4. SPvP Tournament matches:
- Remove profession icons and character names from scorescreen before final countdown begins -> show only amount of players and name them Player 1/2/3/4/5
