As a keen RA tiger, I just had a brainwave.
Make an 8 man RA arena. Press enter button. 16 people are automatically chosen and then fight it out in a GvG-style battle.
It'll just be like BYOB, except the average skill level would be lower. What say you?

NO WE HAVE ALLIANCE BATTElS FOR THAT

I thought this was what HA was for. Most of the teams you fight sure seem like random groups.

no it promotes unfair play and cyber bullying

I am Arthur, King of the Britons.
[pause]
I seek the finest and the bravest knights in the land to join me
in my Court of Camelot.
[pause]
You have proved yourself worthy; will you join me?
[pause]
You make me sad. So be it. Come, Patsy.
BLACK KNIGHT: None shall pass.
ARTHUR: What?
BLACK KNIGHT: None shall pass.
ARTHUR: I have no quarrel with you, good Sir knight, but I must
cross this bridge.
BLACK KNIGHT: Then you shall die.
ARTHUR: I command you as King of the Britons to stand aside!
BLACK KNIGHT: I move for no man.
ARTHUR: So be it!
[hah]
[parry thrust]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm off]
ARTHUR: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
BLACK KNIGHT: 'Tis but a scratch.
ARTHUR: A scratch? Your arm's off!
BLACK KNIGHT: No, it isn't.
ARTHUR: Well, what's that then?
BLACK KNIGHT: I've had worse.
ARTHUR: You liar!
BLACK KNIGHT: Come on you pansy!

ARTHUR: Victory is mine!

We thank thee Lord, that in thy merc-

BLACK KNIGHT: Come on then.
ARTHUR: What?
BLACK KNIGHT: Have at you!
ARTHUR: You are indeed brave, Sir knight, but the fight is mine.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, had enough, eh?
ARTHUR: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left.
BLACK KNIGHT: Yes I have.
ARTHUR: Look!
BLACK KNIGHT: Just a flesh wound.
[bang]
ARTHUR: Look, stop that.
BLACK KNIGHT: Chicken! Chicken!
ARTHUR: Look, I'll have your leg. Right!
[whop]
BLACK KNIGHT: Right, I'll do you for that!
ARTHUR: You'll what?
BLACK KNIGHT: Come 'ere!
ARTHUR: What are you going to do, bleed on me?
BLACK KNIGHT: I'm invincible!
ARTHUR: You're a loony.
BLACK KNIGHT: The Black Knight always triumphs!
Have at you! Come on then.
[whop]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's other leg off]
BLACK KNIGHT: All right; we'll call it a draw.
ARTHUR: Come, Patsy.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, oh, I see, running away then. You yellow
bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you.
I'll bite your legs off!

Yes, but don't call it RA. Just make it random 8v8 GvG.

What do u get when you cross AB, RA, & HA?
All the noobs in GW in one spot, how can this be bad?
On a more serious note, its not really worth it because then you need 2 monks for a team to be able to seriously get anywhere, and its hard enough getting 1 as it it, or to get lucky and run into like a series of utter noob teams.

Good teams would stick together and roll other teams for REALLY long streaks in an 8 man RA. Unlike 4 man RA where the statistical odds of getting a good, balanced team are good enough that every 3 or so teams you face a competient team, in an 8 man format this would not be possible. In 8 man RA, as soon as a team got 2 monks, 2 warriors, a paragon, a curse necro, an interupt ranger, and an ele, that team would be almost unstopable and roll through the teams of 5 dervishes, 2 sins, and a fire ele over and over again.

We already have that in GvG, HA, and in AB. If you're suggesting to have more players in RA or in TA then it's probably because you never went to AB or any of the other competitions. RA and TA are basically there to give the option of playing in fewer groups. It should probably stay that way. For anyone, like me, who wants to play in a massive PvP fight fest, then GvG, HA, and AB is there for us. No need to change any of the lesser areas to that because it's plenty enough.

This would be awesome ; ra in GvG style .. you go like hmm k rit run flag & he goes like na RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO u i go solo naabz and the game is screwed ; wookie

They should do this, except match them against GvG teams so it doesn't take 10 hours to wait for a ladder match.

Crossbreed between AB and RA except skill level average is lower. I like this idea. It should give lux/kurz faction and gladiator points!

Sounds like oblivion. Why would anyone want that?

Make it slightly similar too ab: groups of four (or groups of two might be interesting?) are selected then randomized with other groups of 4/2, with maps smaller than AB but bigger than RA.

If it was on a random GVG map then I'd be down with this. If you win 5 randoms you go against team GvGs. (Like how a presumably decent RA team that gets 10 wins enters TA).

Anyway, as I said, it's still a sorta bad idea. It sounds nice, but in implimentation it would be pretty bad. Plus, there is no need to spread the PvP community even thinner.

if they do this, you can officially say RIP to HA

If any pvp modes are going to be added it should be AB for guilds (with a ladder and everything too, just like 8v8 gvg)

Wow, the amount of justification given with /notsigned's is pretty awesome.
Seriously, why not? This is not meant to replace RA or anything, it's just an additional game mode. If you've ever BYOB'd, you'll realize how fun it is to run around with 8 random skillbars and try to kill stuff. It won't spread the 'community' thinner, in as much as RA doesn't spread the community thinner.

As a four man format RA already has a huge problem with matching teams up, and pulling from pools of random classes. If you double the team size you literally double the potential negative impact of that flaw.

Just imagine the possibilities...
Going against a team of 5 monks, 2 rits and a paragon..... The single match could go on for years....
