Fighting-Based Events = the Bane?
Agree, it always felt like a mini-game activity that never made it to the game. Like polymock (please ANet, do NOT put polymock in the game)
I think it’s just part of the city. There to give the city flavor. While they did mention special activities before launch, such as bar brawl (a free for all fight inside a bar) and a shooting gallery, I don’t recall ever seeing them mention any activities involving the Black Citadel. A pity. With some modifications it could have been the dueling arena so many have asked for with the benefit to non duelers that it’s in an out of the way area and not in open PvE.
Be careful what you ask for
