Guild Wars 2

In my opinion, this is how it should function:

• You enter heart of the mist.
• Heart of the mist is a merged lobby that all regional servers go to. You then have lobbies to select (in the mist browser you can choose which “instance” to join. That way if 1 is full or overcrowded there will be a backup or 2)

You are offered the following options:

Dueling Zone in the back part of the Mist

• Nuff said

Hotjoin

• You can join solo or with friends by hitting “join solo” or “join as party”.
• It then puts you in a random server with people that also joined the same way as you. If you joined as 3, it will try to match you with another group of 3 with 2 randoms or a party of 2. If it can’t accomplish this in the allotted time, it will try to find you 2 groups of 2 with a random, or some close equivalent.
• When you play hotjoin, anyone in a reasonable proximity to the action gets glory (if you are even near a node that gets neuted/capped, you get glory; this will keep you from having to stand on the point for the last tick to get credit) If you are anywhere within proximity of the node during a kill, you get defender glory. For every 5 seconds you remain within proximity of a capped node, you get glory. There should be other glory earning means as well, but they should all be around the idea of conquest. This amount should be small.
  *When you win the game, it gets multiplied by 2. Glory is only a currency for certain items. You get no RANK for winning in hotjoin.

Custom Arenas

• Should still exist. They would function exactly how they do now except they offer no rewards of any kind. They should be for practice, tournaments, etc.

Solo/Duo Q

• The structure for this is much like that of hotjoin, except you can join alone or with 1 friend. You gain a small amount of glory and that then gets multiplied if you win, the same as hotjoin. This time it gets multiplied by 3. Once you have achieved 50 wins, you get placed into an MMR pool. At this point, it attempts to put you in the best possible MMR fight. Depending on the overall MMR of your team vs overall MMR of other team determines how much your MMR goes up or down. You will move through bronze, silver, and gold ranking. Each having its own finishers, skins, titles, ect.

Team Q

• Team Q Is 5 man only. In this mode your glory multiplier is x5. You also get Rank, but at a rate of 1.5x that of solo queue. You Q as a team, not a roster. You will need to make a team and the actual TEAM gets MMR; not you. Your roster can contain up to 10 players. Each player can be a part of up to 3 rosters. Your team moves through its own bronze, silver, and gold bracket and gets unique rewards for this.

There should be a Glory Rework

• the rewards are slim and offer no incentive to play. If you are still playing this game since launch, it has 0 to do with rewards
• from the slim rewards, you received good enough rewards way too fast (for instance, My favorite gear is the seer gear and I got that in the first week or 2 of this game, so I literally have nothing to reach for)

Glory Suggestion

• Glory should be able to buy you things like level scrolls. For X amount of glory. The glory amount should be: If it takes you 3 hours to level in PvE (just guessing since I don’t PvE) then the glory needed for this type of reward should be about 4 or 5 hours. It should take more time than PvE, but still be a means to achieve it.
• You should be able to purchase a scroll that will let you take a PvP skin earned into PvE. This should be very expensive for each item. The option will be there, but due to the cost, you will really only feasibly be able to take 1 or 2 sets of gear into PvE. (It should then be unlocked similar to how the achievement skins work)
• Similar to gem to gold conversion, there should be a glory to gold conversion. It should also be a conversion that would make it to where you COULD earn gold, but not necessarily be the best method to do so.
• There should also be PvP items (like back slots) that can ONLY be earned in PvP, but be used anywhere. These should be extremely cool looking and when someone sees you, they should know “That guy is a PvP beast”. Currently, when you enter Lion’s Arch they see you and think, “hmm..that guy is a noob or only PvPs”

It’s late, I just threw my thoughts together and I’m sure there are many things I’ve conceived before that I forgot to add, but overall, you get the idea.

I’ve changed this thread and now I’m bumping it. Sue me.
