Guild Wars 2

I have a suggestion for a future feature to Guild Wars 2, which would help remove drama in the PVP lobby/matches entirely.

It basically involves allowing SPVP to make use of the server vs server functionality that is present in WvW … and preventing people from other servers from speaking on YOUR Server. In PVP you’d face off against other servers instead of random match-ups.

I don’t know how much work would be required to do this, but I think it would be well worth the effort, considering that ArenaNet does not want to be bothered by all of the people reporting, either for a good reason, or for no reason at all. If the fruitless reporting stemming from the constant Drama in PVP, could be lightened… then ArenaNet would have more time and money to focus on other things, which benefits everyone.

I am not saying I know everything, but I am suggesting at least that this could be a possible solution to the drama situation in the PVP areas.

Sounds like you want to turn sPvP into a watered down WvW.

I vote no.

There’s no reason to redesign an entire game mode in an effort to eliminate rude players (it wouldn’t work). Especially since there are features within the game just for that.

No.

1. Last time I was online (aka couple months ago), ~70%+ of best PvP players in EU were on Desolation. You’re basically suggesting forcing all of them to transfer off randomly to even hope for a decent match-up.
2. Mists are using megaserver anyway.
3. Drama is a part of every game with PvP (and many without too), you need to either learn to deal with it or find the ignore button.

Would help if they just didn’t allow the other team to see your map chat.

Drama sells.

A lot of not so real reality TV manufacture some form of drama to make it more interesting to viewers.

I love being a spectator to drama but not participate in it. IRL, women cause most of the drama but in-game, it’s interesting when men start and be part of it.

The only way to remove drama in GW2 is to ban everybody in the game.

To partialy remove drama, ban a random portion of players.
Or make some irritating features, like random chat mutes, so they leave on their own.

However, the idea of putting players from same server together, or at least prioritizing them, is an interesting idea. By playing with familiar people, you create social bonds with them (unless you are antisocial), and that’s what about MMOs are. I am not sure, but it might be already implemented.

I hate E! News. I’ve missed so many queue pops being distracted by celebrity news gossip.
