There are absolutely no benefits to scrimmaging apart from testing builds and generally having fun.

So why not allow the usage of PvE skills in scrimmaging?
Personally, I like the idea of seeing Ursan vs Volfen or something to that affect, since right now, such thing is impossible.

What do you guys think?

Because for scrim, its just a lil fun with nothing to be gained and practicing skills and finding bugs etc.

I've wanted to always test out PvE skills against other players, not AI, and this would really help with that. And scrimmaging is only used for fun, a little friendly competition, or testing out/modifying builds. But there is a downside to this. You must think about the 1v1 tourneys they have that you pay with Zaishen Tokens or w/e they're called. If they're used in there, it's nothing but Ursan x9001 everywhere. :/ Other than that, yes.

You do not gain anything from scrims and you can only fight guests, guildies and people from allience so why not make the aloud in scrims, i can't see any really reason why they shouldnt be aloud.

I'm not a programmer, and don't know if this would be a problem, but someone else may know. Scrimmages are a form of GvG. You enter a scrimmage in the same way you enter a GvG. If you allow PvE skill into a scruimmage, the game may not be able to prevent them from entering a GvG.

If the game can allow them in scrimmages, but not in GvG, then I am for this idea. As said, it allows for some fun, and testing. But I'm not sure if the game would be able to differentiate the 2 types of battles.

What's the point? If you want to 'test' the skills, test them in pve situations, since that is the only place you can use them.

By that logic, what's the point of Scrimmaging all together?

Although 1v1 is stupid, it is still a form of PvP. A very stupid form of PvP.

Scrimaging is for PvP. You're going to have to clue me in on what's the benefit in scrimaging another player to test PvE builds.

If there are no faction or experience rewards, I don't see why not, otherwise, I don't see why to.

It would be much better as a checkbox option in that other "Save PvP" thread with a lot of personal PvP options.

I heard it was for testing gvg builds. But maybe that was just some crazy idea I had.
