Echo shadow form, 55's, and all other griefing builds imaginable including those made just for this purpose.

It already exists.

It is not popular because Alesia slays most people.

People fight there to get PvE skills and a Crown.

Wait, what? Alesia's build is laugh-out-loud terrible. People lose to her? You are joking, yes?

Hero Battles are ANet's answer to 1v1, I think. Judging from ABs, many players want a 1v1 Arena.

A 1v1 arena?

lol. Might as well allow PvE skills there too. And call it the Ursan Arena.

Guild Wars is a team game, 1v1 arenas have no place.

Don't you think your exaggerating a bit, just because a few noobs use H/H in PvP doesn't mean all the good teams do.

The concept of a 1v1 arena would really bring out the retardation in the community with the echo shadow form builds, the Obs flesh tanks and so on. It would take no skill to win, just alot of patience =\

what about a royal rumble / last man standing / battle royal arena?

Gimmicks get wiped out quickly because people would team up on them.

You could also make it that people belonging to the same guild are not put into the same arena so people don't team up (understandably you'll still get people with non guild accounts doing this but there isn't much you could do)

Not a true 1v1 i admit......

Something like Gladiator's Arena can only work with fixed skillbars. There is too much chance for abuse otherwise. Personally, I think a Battlegrounds-like PvP system with fixed skillbars would work amazingly well in GW.

i would be excited about a 1v1 arena if it were made with random, matching template builds
maybe it would be possible to allow the players coose their matching builds. 1v1 arena woudlnt be the most popular addition to gw but would add another thing to and im sure plenty of people would find 1v1 arena fun

OMG

If they made a purely 1v1 arena, I would /point /laugh at ANet.
Isn't the game imbalanced enough without people running a crappy invinci*whatever*?

yep BG type pvp arena would be so nice. 15vs15 or even 20vs20 would be so damn good

A 1v1 arena would be pretty funny. All the "1337 I pwnd urz" people would gravitate over there and leave the rest of us alone.

Id play 1v1 and I never PVP in guild wars. Probably because random teams suck and it takes to much time and effort to make a good team, 1v1 would bring in the casual pvp crowd which is missing in guild wars. Anet could always balance any exploit builds for 1v1, thats how PVP should be balanced anyway for 1v1, if you balance that team pvp will also be balanced.

Meh.

As long as it gave no Balth faction (no z-keys for you, scrubcake), no title, and absolutely no skill balances at all were based on it; then yeah, sure - let the 'tards have their fun.

I'd much rather Anet spent their time balancing PvP or not screwing up GW2 though, kthx

And this is so wrong it makes kittens cry:

So with that implemented, every wammo you kill in AB/TA/RA where-ever would do the same: OMG NOOB COME 1V1 ME IN GLAD ARENA NAO! and then spam Riposte and Dolyak Signet on recharge. And of course complain to Anet once they got owned and demand buff to Mending.

Mesmers(degen, blind, interupts) and rangers(conditions, interupts) would wipe them all. Probably gonna be fun for a few times, but massive pvp on tactical maps, bring X to point Y, defend point X for Y minutes, 20 people against all kinds of monsters, would be much more fun.
