Guild Wars 2

why arenanet allow randoms vs premade in team arena? it should be only premade vs premade.

wasnt there a requirement of 5er group to be able to sign up team arena like 1-2 month ago and then arenanet ninja removed it without even mentioning in the patchnotes? could it be?

team arena should be premade vs premade and not farm randoms as a premade or get farmed as a random against premade. for the sake of competition.

It’s like this because there’s no other place for groups of 2, 3, or 4 to play together except hotjoin. I don’t think it’s reasonable to have a solo queue, a 2/3 queue, a 4/1 queue, and a 5-person queue. This way if people want to join with a couple friends, they can, although they’ll have a lower leaderboard rating than they would otherwise. Theoretically, enough teams will be in the queue that it will work out—i.e. a very skilled 2-man might carry their team vs. a bad 5-man. Of course, if there are fewer people in the queue, the skilled 2-man could end up facing a top 5-man without much help from their random teammates.
