Guild Wars 2

What I notice when trying to do EB jumping puzzle is that no one really tries to use the traps to get ya. What they do is team up at choke points, where you can not move forward and pick off the single players trying to get it done. As it stands I never seen any of the traps going off, except at the dome when someone lets out the veterans, which seems to be the favorite choke point.

What if everyone on the opposing teams was neutral so that the only way to attack them would be to use the traps(being neutral you still get hit by spikes, boulders , flames). Someone who uses the trap mechanisms, would become target-able by anyone on the opposing teams. If you attack another player who has become target-able you will also become target-able. Otherwise as long as you do not attack another person though the use of weapons say like the torch in the dark room, or your own weapons, you can remain neutral and can’t be hit by a direct attack. Being hit by a trap does not remove the neutral state.

I think the Neutral state in this setting should be timed and instead of complete stealth from the Mystic Fountains you get your Neutral state reinstated. So if you do not make it to one of the fountains within the time limit you will become fully target-able. Except for the fountain at the start that one should remain a full stealth for its full current duration.

need to start posting my ideas at prime time so I can get at least 1 response from them!

Interesting idea, maybe it could be introduced as a special event weekend. As a long term idea I think keeping it as PvP orientated keeps it much more interesting. If ArenaNet removed siege from the JP it would make people more inclined to use traps.

EDIT: As it is its more efficient to siege up the arena section.

well they did remove the siege, if I am not mistaken and yet the same thing still persists.
