I have HA'd for sometime now and while I enjoy itfor the most part... I think that the rigidity of the builds becomes both Frustrating and Distracting from the fun that its supposed to be...

You say take 40 minutes to make a group then get in and then have someone rage quit cause it took 1 second too long to kill the NPC's at the start.... therefore having to go and start making the group all over again

Why not break the cycle and redesign HA/HoH so that the fun and enjoyment and challenge come back....

Heres a couple of of thoughts..

1 Completely randomise it..... Completely kills the builds that everyone uses.. Makes it harder to win HoH perhaps to hard...

2 Turn it into 4 man teams that random join with another 4 man team like AB... This I think would be the better solution you can make small Builds but cant rely on the rest of the team to have what you might need...

This would provide a larger challenge and create a better PvP environment and would perhaps also cut down on the Rank descrimination that occurs.. Yes I like everyone at one time or another has experienced this...

to many build specific teams pwning for a few days/weeks till the next fad. There is skill in this but there is more skill in working with what you get handed to you.

Randomize HA? I suppose you think RA is 'challenging' then?

The Hall of Heroes... you really want the single most valued thing in the history of the Guild Wars to be changed into some random nub-fest? What's the point of having a team build to take to HoH if you can only pick 4 out of 8 people in your team?

Why would I want to not rely on the other team to bring what I need? So I bring a good balanced 4-man team and the team I get stuck with is ViM? Wtf? They sure have the Heal Parties and the Aegis Chain and the PD mesmer that I require to fill the other 4 slots.

Absolutely no way.

HOH? Most valued thing in Guild Wars?
Ah wait, you were being blatantly sarcastic.

About the randomization: Guilds would sync enter and bash everyone who did not sync enter the HA.

Yeah keep the noobs in Ra please. It seems as though you respect the level of play in HA but just want to make it more accessible/easy for yourself. I mean otherwise you'd play RA/AB which is exactly the same as you suggest only without the recognition. Recognition is earned and having random teams is earning nothing.

And please hold the "omg HA doesnt require skill any more" flames, I'm just speaking relatively.
