Under the condition of if they did add it in that it needs new maps better suited to it, flat ground and open and also a team version.

On a side note, I always thought a water balloon arena would be fun for summer

If any thread made me see just how antagonistic people can be on gwguru its this one, it can be duplicated, but the fact is it puts everyone on equal level, we all dont have free slots.

Not going to bother reading the forum even though someone has probably already mentioned it. "Dragon arena" has already long existed as dodgeball. Just get a mez with 105 health, 16 fast cast, 12 air. Use dual attunements, lightning orb, windborn speed and ta da dragon arena. You can't recreate the rez sigs, but you just use the rez shrine and I think playing till you dp out is better than the method in dragon arena.

I have two points I'd like to comment on:
1. It's a great game. It's fun to see people drop to the floor with a scream and thud as they burn in dragon fire...
2. ...But because it's an instant kill skill it doesn't take alot of skill to hit a button and get free xp and faction. If the Dragon Arena stays it will be used to farm faction and random arenas will lose players.
Conclusion: In my honest opinion, I would like to see this Dragon Arena stay but if it does, I'd like to see that the faction rewards are decreased.

Take away the high ground and the arena'd be okay. Annoying if you're on/facing a camper team.
Rotating it into RA & TA could make things interesting but then I'd wonder how they'd handle rewards.

One of the main reasons this is fun is because it is new and fresh. These holiday games are meant to freshen up Guild Wars. Honestly, how many people would play it after a few months? It would become like The Jade Quarry. I have the same opinion of the Snowball Arena even though I enjoyed that one greatly as well.
The arena was meant to be played for a few days/week and thats how I think it should be kept.

why? because thse are what make vents special and fun. If we had snowballs and dragon dodgeball everyday the once a year events wouldn't be so fun anymore making the event less special and more just "oh look decorations", and well there would be quests but the arenas are a big part of the event too. at least the snowballs were the dragon arena is a little less popular it seems.

It seems a bit mindless, I guess I can see why PVE people like it. It's the only way they can kill someone in pvp |
Back on topic, I regret not playing more snowball arena back in December, and it would be nice to have some fixed skillbar PVP that changed formats every so often but was always available. Call it "Seasonal Arena" or something like that. No faction or rewards to be gained from it, just good clean fun to break up the game's monotony.

these are special events. they are for a short time, something to look forward to. the wintersday arena was a blast too but if you add more and more arenas and zones, you won't find enough people to form a single team to do anything. people will flock to this for the holiday and have a lot of fun, then go back to what they were doing before.

If you want to get casual/new players into PvP, give them a place to play where the skills are set or limited.
I loved the snowball fights. That's the only time I've played PvP that I had fun. There's too many snobs, jerks, and snobby jerks in the regular arenas. I will never do regular PvP again.
I haven't tried the dragon arena- I'm afraid I'd like it and then miss it when it's gone. Good try, Anet-offering me an ice cream cone only to take away after 3 licks. I'm not licking this time.

i'm sure they'll consider to keep it... it's a good money sink

I'm just annoyed that lag or a poor connection kinda kills you in the Dragon Arena.
Put another way, it's wasted space on a bad connection; my connection is fine, but occasional lag makes it not all that much fun.
Besides, the skills were bland and dull.

it takes little to no skill to be good in the dragon arena, it mostly depends on if your team knows how to play. 1v1 is the only true dodgeball because you cant get ganked in that. sure in the dragon arena you can dodge alot but after windborne runs out you cant stop to recast it and you get killed regardless of how good you are when you have 3-4 people on you.
/notsigned, but i would like the snowball back, that was actually fun.
you cant lose/miss what you dont have. ignorance is bliss.

I think they need more stuff like this. Honestly, there is only so much to do in this game, I would love to have a place to go and just waste time in mini-games with my friends. They could make it like the Balthazar Islands. Different parts of the islands would have different games and activities. Maybe some would be themed and traded out by season. Maybe you can have mini games that would have prizes like dyes, mods, runes and such... ales anyone? Overall, those games would be a cash sink, but they would sure alleviate the bordom that comes with logging on... knowing you WANT to be on... but just not wanting to grind that day, so you leave.
On a side note, this elitest attitude that a lot of regular PvP players have towards PvE players is interesting. It seems to keep people away from PvP. It's akin to someone wanting to play some football, walking on to the field, somewhere in the world, all ready to play, only to have some "professional" player pop up from behind a bush and harrass you for not being "good" enough. Does it make any sense? Are only the top 1% allowed to enjoy the game, or even try? "Sorry son, I'd let you go out and play with the neighborhood kids, but you throw like a beginner and I don't think you should even be let out of the house until you can throw a ball like Joe Montana." ... "Aw dad! You were allways such an A--hole!" Ahem...

It's just frustrating to play with people who don't even use basic logic or common sense in pvp games. I think that frustration turns into anger/venting after we see the same dumb mistakes in every match, over and over, and is then seen as elitism.
