Guild Wars 2

Why?

• First and foremost, VARIETY. It’s been 5 years of nothing but conquest for competitive play. It’s so mind-numbingly boring at this point words cannot describe it. ATs are conquest, ranked is conquest, unranked and hotjoin are mostly conquest too. Don’t want another queue? Then turn the (soon failing) ATs into 2v2.
• Better for the smaller size of the community and could stimulate growth.
• The tournament’d take much less time, so the current rewards could be alright.
• There’s a demand. Adding 2v2s only to exile it immediately to the wastelands called hotjoin is a bad joke. Why even spend dev time on it if nobody cares? Surely the devs don’t think anyone gives a kitten about hotjoin, but if they do, god save us.

At the very least, do one month of conquest ATs then one month of 2v2 ATs and see which one is more popular.

Seriously the conq thing has to stop.There is a reason you can’t make it competitive because the game style prevents it. 2v2 3v3 tmd is the best you can do 5v5 if you want to push it. But conq doesn’t work.

Gw1 was and is epic pvp that gw2 has yet to achieve. No it isn’t the builds because you had mass variety in gw1 with skills but it worked. It was TDM kill and win or be killed and loose it wasn’t complex.

I for one welcome 2v2 to a unranked button and eventually either replacing or joining conq in ranked play.

You could put 2v2 tournaments between 5v5 tournaments there is space for it.

A 2v2 tournament might last forever though….

2v2 still has balance issues, but I agree.

5v5 tdm doesn’t work with the current balance either, and I doubt it would as long as we have the downed mechanic even if you balance around 2v2.

Conquest is awful and no one wants to watch it, aspirations of e-sports dies on that alone.

bingo if they found a alternative and actually tried with maybe the new courtyard as a 3v3 it could be interesting . 5 is a zerg but 3 is a team.

I would want a 2v2 queue and leaderboards before 2v2 AT… but sure let’s have 2v2 AT also.

I agree. 2v2 is way overdue. It’s already dead in hotjoin. Nobody is playing it.
