Guild Wars 2

Stephane Lo Presti.7258:

We are conducting a small closed Beta. Who can participate?

• Top players from our QP leaderboards will receive a Custom Arena and early access as part of their prize package.
• Some press and media sites
• If you purchased a Custom Arena while they were accidentally available on the gem store then you will be able to activate them at this time.
• Additionally we are considering a small number of active community members.

MARA is a PvX guild with main focus on PvE. We did a lot of skirmish in GW1 and have been waiting for it to come around to GW2.
It’s very sad that we can not participate in the arenas in the beta. With +800 members being able to participate in this in the beta, would had helped us to start planning and structuring it, and might have encouraged the guild members more to sponsor it.

I really hope we will get an open beta for this.

Can’t have everything.

I’m sure ArenaNet will get good feedback with the players they got. Now we just have to wait.

“MARA is a PvX guild with main focus on PvE. "

Why should you get it over the people who have stuck with the PVP since the beginning?The people who got beta with QPs are who ArenaNet are (should?) be focusing on for development, not some 800 member PvE guild.

It’s not just MARA I’m thinking about, there is a lot of guilds from GW1 who used to do skirmish and AB on regular basis, many of them might not be doing spvp or wvw in GW2 but would like to do CA in GW2.
What kind of people they have chosen to test out this is a little vague, but it doesn’t seem to be the casual skirmish and AB players.

How are you unable to participate? You’re obviously allowed to participate in the “server is full” line like the rest of us.
