Guild Wars 2

Are there any plans from Arena Net to get people playing 8 team tournaments again? There are so few people queuing for these I have waited 45mins+ for a pop before at prime time! I much prefer the 8 team format, but there seems very little incentive for people to play it, especially as players can farm glory in two team tournies so easily.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but playing one map for 3 days is not exactly fun.

I don’t know how they could promote 8 team tourney, maybe boost the glory for winning, or maybe offer some new rewards, anything to avoid farming the same map over and over

Make it weekly.

Triple the glory reward.

Add gems as prizes.

Add exclusive kitten Titles for winning.

Gems can never be rewarded as a prize for a tournament.
Anet policy is that anything which doesn’t come as a result of random chance must be account bound.
Rephrase: any reward that you can expect upon completion of a task must be account bound.

This will never change, although now that they’ve cemented this policy they can probably fire the in game economists.

Yeah I would not expect to see games as a prize again.

But this does not hide the fact that currently 3 team tournaments are underplayed and it takes so long to get a pop, which leaves us in the situation of playing one map OVER and OVER

There needs to be a reason for people to either play 8 team tournies OR build the tech to randomize the map for 2 team tournies.

The only sense to have 3-round format is because anet doesn’t have a random (or vote) map generator but now this format doesn’t work, too many problem to solve (low population, disconnection & leavers issues etc.)

So they need to convert this format in 1vs1 format and split pug/solo queue from team premade queue.

3-round system is good for a weekly/montly tournament with a ladder system for best teams o best players.
