Guild Wars 2

Hey!

This might have been brought up before i dont really know i have not been checking these forums alot. Apologies if that is the case. I usually dont visit forums in games I play but i feel like I need to this time.
The reason i am here is that it is beyond me how this game, which I think is great by the way, can fail at such an important point.
Me and my friends (mostly +one at a time) cant play together in sPvP even if were in a party. We haven’t played alot but today we wanted to do some sPvP together. Is this possible at all? Since there is no option to join sPvP as a party my friend joined a game and i chose to join him in PvP by right clicking him in the party. What i expected to happen was that we would be able to play together in sPvP but instead we got put in the same instance of pvp but in opposite teams. (This went on for approx. 5 games until we had enough)
Is it possible at all to play together with friends in sPvP that is not tournament play?
Are we doing it wrong?
If not i feel that this is a big flaw in the game.
What i want from this game is to be able to play casually with my friends we are PvP oriented players and we get the most satisfaction from playing PvP in a smaller setting (not WvW)-
