Rank idea

I think Rank and fame shoudl be able to be gained elsewhere then tombs mainly because there lotsof ppl not wantign to do TS and without it you cant have a good team. so they shodul have a smaller arena that u can obtain it from

Well, then don't do TS. There are many groups who don't use TS. Well, from what I see anyways. But I would like a smaller arena that one can obtain fame from. Still think a 1v1 arena would be awesome for that, of course with restrictions, but that's just my opinion.

I do not think 1vs1 arenas would be a good place for it, after all, mesmers (and necros to a lesser extent) would probably dominate them.

I admit I do not like the current way of earning fame. I am guildless, and the average PUG stands about...3% of winning against the ghosts. With TS, the chances go up slightly because the group usualy has atleast 2 people from the same guild, so orginization is slightly higher.

Yes, I know there will be people who say "leave tombs alone you newb, I get plenty of fame". Anyone care to take dibs on if this person is in a guild that is in the top 300?

Sadly, I do not have any suggestions for changes. Can't exactly make comp arenas give fame, nor team arenas. All that leaves is tombs, or new pvp arenas they might add (guild battles do not count, for the same reason that tombs does not work for many people. There guild is either not primarily pvp, there guild is bad at it, or they do not belong to a guild)

Noticed how I said with restrictions? Be a bit more open minded about it. What if the 1v1 arena had certain 1st proffessions against the same kind? Just an idea. I really feel that not all mesmers or necros would dominate in a 1v1 arena. There's always a counter for each one.

Search other threads.. there was one the other day.

Such a bad idea for so many reasons, just search threadssss

I dont think its a bad idea, but it should be restricted to Guild vs Guild and Team Battle.

Anything in which you structure your own team. Also, your rank should increase slower outside of the Tombs. Just like how you get so much Faction one place, but even more in another.

I'd have to agree. Even if you could only earn a little thru gvg or team arenas you should still get something for it. Like 1 fame every couple of team arena wins? Like if you get 3 consecutive? I'm not sure, I guess I don't know all the angles of the subject.

Fame is one of the few things not being made easier to get because you DONT NEED IT. The main reason people get rank is to be able to get Pugs in tombs, pugs in which eople are near your level of experience.

I admit, it is hard but I hit rank 3 after just a few weeks of intensive HoH'ing. If fame could be obtained at any random newb arena, it'd become meaningless. The 'good' groups at tombs would just simply start asking for higher ranks etc.

i know this is not really related to the subject, but how will a necro dominate a 1v1 arena???
