I might be beating a dead horse here, honestly don’t know.
As those of you who have played GW you know of these two, and as much as RA could be “fixed” by synching, it was generally mostly random. And you could advance to TA and so on and so forth.

Now I like to kick back in GW2 by doing some pvp, after my first few shots at it last year I realised that unranked wasn’t equivalent to RA, and ranked to TA. In the end we have a bunch “team” teams playing against random players, regardless of it being ranked or not. It didn’t bother me at first, or the many times afterwards. And it is not like a team can definitely defeat a randomised group. Nonetheless, we’re all competing for the same rewards; let me make an example, we’re playing a football match, the organised team got a team of football players, the random team might have 1 football player a tennis player, a basketball player and a volleyball player etc, none of these players are necessarily bad, but they don’t know how to play in sync, nor does their builds match each others. We’re all competing, why not make it fair?

I far prefer TA and RA, now I realise that might never happen in GW2 with consecutive wins, however splitting it up, should not be impossible. plus it fosters better organised pvp

Unranked is random arena v2. There is no team arena because there were never enough pvp players.

No this is nonsense. It’s nowhere near the same

This game desperately needs arenas in my opinion.

Not 4v4 like GW1 though , 2v2 or 3v3 would work better, but most likely one or the other as to not have way too many queues.

This game needs 4 ques.

1. unranked battlegrounds (Soloq – full team ) [5v5 conquest/stronghold/annihilation]
2. ranked battlegrounds (requires full team) [5v5 conquest/stronghold/annihilation]
3. random areas (solo Q) [2v2 or 3v3 annihalation]
4. Team arenas (requires full team) [2v2 or 3v3 annihalation]

And lastly change custom arenas to guild halls, only accessible to guilds.
These guild halls will be purely for guilds to meet, and for guilds to skirmish other guilds. So no more hotjoins to take away from the ques, but still use the guild halls for community tournaments etc.

As player base increases because more game modes, possibly separate stronghold into separate queue in the future.

I agree with making custom games for guild halls only.
