arena: time limits and sudden death

4v4 matches especially random can go on and on especially if you have healer heavy teams. If there must be a winner, some kind of sudden death mode would be nice. Example, start reducing max hp/mana of everyone making it easier to get kills.

On a somewhat unrelated note, running away is abused by many people. For example, 4v4, one team has only 1 survivor (with no rez) and he is completely specced for running away. This person can now waste everyones time until people get bored and quit. Yes, there are counters to running but why should teams be forced to load these skills especially in the case where the runner poses no threat and is just wasting time by avoiding combat.

Thats when you yell "All hands on the run away!!!" and mob him/her. If you still can't take'em out then you all need to pratice more on your PvP skills.

Actually I've won 30 consecutive flawless rounds in PvP only to lose cause we got tired. So I am no slacker in PvP, this is still a problem.

Reminds me of those videos you see when people try and get hold of a chicken that constantly keeps avoiding capture due to there darting ability when they suddenly veer of course very quickly.

I have not really done PvP much, so I'm probably not really one to quote any solutions, but if there are 4 of you and 1 of him, It's Pimms O'Clock.

Anyway, jokes aside, I was under the impression there is collision detection when PvP'ing, so why not just close in on him and box him in.

Or, why not try the, lets wait and see tactic, just all stand around and see what happens. If all 4 of you are alive and 3 of there team is dead, wouldn't the people lying around be bored to tears of just sitting there and not doing anything.

Maybe you have to play there game of wasting time, especially if you have taken the time to get that far. If you can't beat em, join em and wait it out.

But like I said, I haven't done much PvP.
