Guild Wars 2

Hello All,

Just thinking about simple idea how to have additonal fun and emotions in PvP:

Allow betting.

Let’s allow to each player to make his bet before fight. Total amount will go to winner.
(also reduce total amount for 15% to avoid cheating).

1st example: people want to fight 1v1, winner – who live, loser – who dead.
Each player making 100g bet. Total prize will be (100+100)*0.85=170g to winner.
If no one win in 10 minutes, then both loosing money.

2nd example: team fight NvN, standard condition to win: 500 points, or just more points when timer is out.

It’s easy to implement and additional fun.
To reduce complexity it can be an option for custom arenas only.

Betting can be in Gold or even in Gems.

Later this idea can be evolved even for tournaments.

I doubt Anet wants to sell kids and teens a game with gambling as a supported aspect of the game.

This is not idea about gambling, you making bet for your own game and result depends how good you are.

Ya but I used to play in gambling servers and they were shut down by the mods. It was a sad day. They clearly don’t support it in a similar way to how they are against 1 vs 1 in any form.

Lol true. I for one would love to see gambling. I’m just not very optimistic about it.

You mean like Black Lion Chests?

I would expect people to immediately start throwing games. That’s just too big an invitation.
