Guild Wars 2

It would be soooo good if they would consider adding arenas

Ofc, there would be lots of QQ about unbalanced teamsetups etc , but no matter what, i belive this would bring back a lot of players .

They could berhaps forbid profession stacking, and add 2 respawns per team or something like that.

I agree.

A 2v2/3v3 and even a 1v1 would be a dream come true.

I am aware of the multiple imbalance issues that would arise but I feel that is not a reason to refrain from implement this feature.

Ideally it could be released without any major form of rank tracking or any major/ any rewards until the community has enough time to feel this mechanic out.

At the very worse, it would still be a fun yet legitimate form of dueling that if nothing else would give players a fun competitive activity aside from conquest.

If after X amount of time the Arena Feature receives positive feedback than a more streamline reward/rank progression system could be implementing.

Perhaps even the option to compete for fun or Ranked Matches. Letting players get a feel for the Arena Map/Maps and team combat before competing in more competitive ranked games.

This coupled with the option to form a kind of “War Party” or Arena Team which would essentially allow you to create a small PvP Guild of sorts that allows you to track your members individual score as well as the score of your overal team, in Arena as well as Conquest game modes.

Some quality of life features this “PvP Guild” could have, is the ability to see the PvP related Accolades. For example: How many stomps have this player had, how many points captured, how many Pets/clones/minions/turrets have they destroyed total.

This I feel would simply be a fun way to interact with your team.

Arenas are the lazy approach so it should go without saying this is what ANet has in store based off their comments in the other thread.

I actually think that the current deathmatch arena would be much better for a 2v2 or 3v3 than it is as a 5v5 map.
