GvG Arena
err… you can still do GvG in the jumping puzzle area right ? i mean the area just after you entered….
Archeage = Farmville with PK
Don’t forget viewing stands. While its not my thing, to play or watch, I think that’s kind of a neat aspect to the GvG thing. Ups the ante for the participants too. Though might create some difficulties in trolling or griefing in an official mode.
But you could probably do a thing where enterting as a fighter vs a spectator would send you to a totally walled off area where you can see but not actually interact.
While I’m not a fan of PvP Amulets/Trinkets/Gearing it really is the ideal place for ANet to get GvG up and running relatively quickly.
Custom Arenas already generate income for ANet, allow for Spectators, and options for “Custom Match Settings” including Team Size and any other “rules” ANet chooses to implement.
“Deluxe Custom Arenas” could help cover any increased infrastructure costs and help fund future “Deluxe Custom Maps” more suited for GvG than the current sPvP ones.
In the meantime, I think a bunch of the existing Conquest Maps would be a whole lot more fun in 15v15 or 20v20 modes. Battle of Khylo might actually feel like a “battle” for example
I made this same suggestion last week. You didn’t see it because, it was moved from the WvW forums to the “Suggestion” forums. :’(
If ANet would only implement an instanced fight club arena, there would be no conflict between WvW guilds who enjoy occasionally honing their skills against each other and players who feel everyone in the Borderlands should be working toward taking and defending objectives. (I think both are valid points, so I am terribly conflicted!)
I know you’ve already voiced your opinion here, but please take a moment to add your support to the post in the other forums as well, if you don’t mind:

they want you to buy the Arena token. that’s it.
they wont make a GvG instance. if anyone want to GvG in a place other than WvW, they have to go to the Heart of the mist and make a private arena…..

There are a few issue with making a new map/instance just for GvG or make it in sPvP.
1) They won’t spend any more dime to something that won’t generate them income(making GvG map/instance).
2) sPvP area won’t work as the server can only handle 10v10 max.
3) Anet are trying to make sPvP as an eSport to get sponsorship=more money.
4) Limited stats distribution make sPvP is not an ideal spot for GvG, numerous guild have tried it and it just won’t work for them.
Nothing wrong with making a GVG arena. However, it does cost money. Their best approach would be to charge a fee to keep a custom GVG arena up or charge a fee for guilds to participate and be able to fight guilds on servers not in their tier. While paying might bother some players, it most likely will be necessary. MMO’s have constant and continuous costs from month to month. Adding a gvg arena or some kind of system is something that will cost them to develop and maintain.
