Guild Wars 2

I just wanted some feedback on those who think 1vs1 death match tourneys would be fun.

there already was one – full of phantasm mesmers

and s/d thieves

I think that 1v1 touneys would be an entire waste of developer time on a gametype that is counterintuitive to the whole mmo aspect of this game.

with an ele and engineer in the finals

1v1 tournies have a problem with the fact that while the game was made so you can indeed fight someone solo, its balanced around team-play. That and currently, mesmers and sword thieves are amongst the top dogs in 1v1s currently if played well. So it would be fine to have this, but you would most likely see a flood of the same classes over and over with similar builds.

1vs1 tournaments are fine and if organized by independent entities why not? just as long as anet doesnt waste time with it.
and people keep talking about mesmers and thieves and rangers beeing the top tier in 1vs1, yet the final was ele vs engie, so 1v1 balance is a non problem (even necros have a decent 1 on 1 spec) given that it is something that anet doesnt really aim for.

The only dps that could stand to all the bunkers in that tourney were boon strippers and hgh engis there were allot of good players that just got smashed cause bunker beats dps in most cases. The eu tourney had no bunker rule I thought that’s a very good rule to have. It’s whatever though it was allot of fun and the shout casters did a fantastic job very entertaining.
