**** Fights! Place your bets

OMG i love this idea

doesnt have to be chickens, could be random animals...
but add an arena in the middle of some town...and a few NPCs to take bets...Create a bunch of fake stats you can read on the contestants...then have them come out and kill each other.

I can see it now ... 50 people all huddled around the pit...the gates raise...the animals run out...People start CHEERING!!! YEAH ICEIMP !!! YEAH FIREIMP !!! YEAAAHH GOOO WAHOOO YES I WON!!!

of course, the house always wins, and it would be set up that you only win a percentage of the total bets, so its a money sink

oh and... theyd fix it so it wouldnt lag things...

how about doing this for for ranger pets? the ranger can only use petskills.

and once in a while, when the guard strolls by, you gotta pay a fine for taking part in an illegal animal fighting event.

see thats the kinda stuff i would love...having gaurds walk by and yelling at you... seeing everyone scatter, the ones that were caught would have to pay a fine... MMOs just dont think to do things like that...

i equipped my ele/r with the lowest level weapon I could get then would attack a moa to get my own moa to attack, then just watch them go at it...

actually, watching ai fights is boring though, cuz they don't maneouver. Anet said this is a skill game, and for the most part it is, but vs. single bad guys it's just power, they don't move, a few of them run, and a few even pull that is super cool, but for the most part they just stand there and take it. This is quite frustrating for harder bosses, like the M***aa*, who can literally take 10 minutes to kill just standing and clicking attacks, and if one person drops, it can be a standoff... total stalemate. Woulda been nice to see them try to outmaneouver you instead of having assloads of healing.
