Guild Wars 2

How can I play in the same team with my friends from rl? Is there any hidden option? Every single MMO game gives you opportunity to play with your friends. I don’t know what the creators of the game had in their minds by not giving us that option. It’s atleast dumb if you ask me.

When a single player joins a game, a message is displayed in party chat with a link to join that game. Just make sure that you join one with enough slots.

At which point it’s not guaranteed you’ll be on the same team unless you join a tournament roster together.

You are allowed to play with friends in Tournaments by using the “invite Party” option or typing their name in with you to invite them to play with you.
In hot-join you basically have to swap teams to be with them, and are at the mercy of auto-balance and the forced swap upon round completion.

Ideally a better option is granted through Custom Arenas.
