Guild Wars 2

I would really like to join a PvP queue without the need to join the Heart of the Mists (PvP Lobby). What is it anyway what you do in the PvP Lobby? Most of us stand around and wait doing nothing.
But I would really like continuing to play PvE, doing map completions, hearts while waiting in the PvP queue to start a game.

If I really want to try out new builds, then I would check out the Heart of the Mists to fight versus those testing npcs, but I already have my setup, so forcing me to stand around in the Lobby i just boring and time wasting. Let me do hearts while waiting.

I think you can find the Dev posts explaining exactly why one can not queue outside the PvP Lobby over in the PvP sub-forum.

Good luck.
