Cmon Where is Capture the flag already?
I think many gamemodes would actually work in GW2 and I’d love to see them.
But CTF is definitely not among those.
Have you ever actually thought about what would happen? Flag carrier bursted in 2 seconds. next flag carrier bursted in seconds. It would be a deathmatch.

Flag carriers got buff. Problem solved.
It is just the matter of design. Everything is possible.
I’m still looking for the source, but I believe Anet said they tried out capture the flag and it didn’t work out too well, so they didn’t really pursue it. So, we ended up getting Spirit Watch instead.
I’ll edit post with source if I can find it.

They’ve tried CTF and other gamemodes before settling with conquest, not spirit watch.

Yeah sorry, I guess my post was confusing. I didn’t mean Spirit Watch was the game mode they settled with, I meant Spirit Watch was the CTF style game they implemented, instead of a true CTF.
I also think CTF wouldn’t really work. As much as I love the game mode, GW2 is in precisely the wrong place for it to work. There’s too many interface barriers for it to be like a shooter CTF, and it’s too fast to be an MMORPG CTF.
I think a tug of war mode might work, where control is fought over a dolyak or something and the dolyak slowly moves toward the base of the team that has control. That would allow for secondary mechanics too but I don’t think we could reuse most of the current maps for that mode.
Priorities, what to do?
Spend hours with dye
Isn’t this like Spirit Watch???
