Guild Wars 2

I am requesting a change to Team Arena party requirements. I would like to see Team Arena require the group to have 2, 3, or 5 players in the party to enter queue.

The reason behind this is to prevent people entering the queue as a party of 1. I play pretty much exclusively with my best friends from college (party of 2 or 3). We are always using Voice communication and we are coordinated (or atleast try to be). It being Team Arena, I would hope that my matched teammates would be in a party and communicating as well. People who enter Team Arena by themselves are usually either mistaken, new and unaware of their mistake, or trolling with nothing positive to add to the match.

Implementing this change could increase queue times but I would gladly make that sacrifice for some useful and communicating teammates. Another unfortunate repercussion is that parties of 4 are no longer going to be allowed but as I see it, if you have 4 then finding 1 more shouldn’t be much of a hindrance.

Its a slippery slope, but currently allowing people to queue into Team Arena by themselves is severely affecting my games in a negative fashion.

I would love to see alternate ideas or feelings from the community on this issue (if you have any)

This needs to be bumped. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE IM TIRED OF BEING PUNISHED FOR QUEING WITH LESS THAN 5
