Hello,
In GW2, i normally don’t play activities, although i think some of them are incredibly fun, because i feel “lonely” for not playing them with the people i know. I play with my guild and some of my closest friends and i believe i would play activities, probably more then i should , if i could play with my friends and/or guildies.
Guilds would be allowed to make activities tournaments, friends could join as a party for activities, and everybody would have fun.
Most likely guilds would get the Custom Arena (probably the name should change to Custom Lobby?) just so they could have fun, since many guilds are not into PvP.
Also, Daily Activity could only be earned on Lobbys (Normal Lobbys or Custom Lobby).
Why i considered Custom Lobby?
People normally exits and joins the activity to get one lobby with less time left just to the achievement, and it ruins the fun for other players.
Pros, for the players:
- Triple the fun!
- Play with the people they know
- Choose the map they want to play, When they want to play
Pros, for the ArenaNet:
- People would get Custom Lobby (theoretically speaking)
- New custom lobby owners (most likely guild lobby’s) could try out PvP, so more people on PvP (theoretically speaking)
Changes to System:
- Custom Arena turn into Custom Lobby
- Custom Lobby can be set to PvP or Activities
- Set parameters for PvP or even Activities (Change score limit, Time, etc…)
TLDR: Allow Custom Lobbys with activities so people could play with people they know.
Edit: Feedback is appreciated
