A-Net refuses to implement dueling, and while I find it pointless when the game’s objective is node control, the general populus wants it enough that they’ve become a mainstay in hotjoin. The main problem is that 8v8 is terrible, and so those of use who don’t want to do tPvP anymore because we don’t have a team and get pubstomped by premades, can’t even find 5v5 matches anymore that easily because they’ve been taken over by duelers.
There’s a select niche of the PvP society in GW2 that is slowly being squeezed out of the game alltogether… the middle ground players. It feels like PvP at the moment is either super casual drop in, drop out, duel a little or premade vs. pug pubstomp action. The upper mid to good players who aren’t super good or elite have no place in the current META without getting frustrated a lot.
In short, I guess what I’m saying is, this dueling thing is a direct result of the game polarizing itself in two directions, you can only enjoy the game’s PvP fully if you are hardcore PvP, or so casual that you don’t even try for match objectives and just fight for some fun with friends.
If you want to play serious and accomplish things with random people, and are a good but not fantastic player, but still want to have a good time while being competitive, currently, this game is doing a very good job of running those players off.
…that makes rather “sad” sense… its a pitty, as i did quite liked it in beta and early days.
you still do find the odd “normal” match, but if you get one of the duel’o rama ones, it is really off-putting…
cants see issue with not allowing duels like in wow.. yes i said it..
Conquest is a boring game type so players do what they can to have fun.
some may actually like it, but its fully ruined by others… although those that like it dont ruin the duelers game, as its arena’s “fault?”

Hi,
i came back after many months and played sPvP before i left gw2 for a while.
Not sure when and why it changed to that, but why are there sPvP’s, where nearly “all” players from both teams do absolute nothing for objectives or winning and just “dueling” each other, while the rest of both teams stands around the and watches.
As a “comebacker” or “new-player” this is anything else then appealing to do sPvP, as you may as well just stand around, nobody gives a kitten about winning it anyway.
What did i miss in sPvP in GW2 nowadays?
