8v8 Competition Arena

Hi,

Update: Made a new search in this forum for '8v8 competion arena' found the following link http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...petition+arena
sorry for wasting your time but I would like to bring up the subject again so ANet doesn't forget.

Things I hate: Going to the Tombs and waiting for long periods of time to first get into a group, then once in a group collect enough ppl to fill the group, arguing about who will call and what skills to bring. Then once getting into one of these rag-tag PUGs, you go to the tombs get slaughtered in about a minute or 2, everyone quits the group and it starts all over again! I just HATE IT!!!

Granted the current Tombs is probably great for Guild members who have enough ppl to make a team anytime they want, but this is a problem for ppl who play unpopular builds (ranger, necro and mesmer), who either don't belong to a guild, belong to a small guild or belong to a guild that doesn't have much PVP experience or interest.

Why not implement in Chapter 2 an 8v8 Competion Arena similar to the 4v4 Comp. Arena in Lion's Arch. No waiting no hassle just click 'Enter Mission' and let fate deal you its hand of 8 random players. The system would be set up similar to the current 4v4 comp arena in that sense that if your team wins 10 consecutive matches, they are automatically bumped up to the tombs to compete with groups in the 8v8 team arena and eventually to HoH if they are good enough.

Personally I do really quite well in the Comp. Arenas. I have earned enough faction to unlock most skills / weapons upgrades for a couple of professions, but I would really would like to get involed in the whole 8v8 scheme and earn some rank and fame and get a chance maybe to get to HoH (ok maybe that is far fetched). Even some good 8v8 experience would be nice to have. I currently am just not able to do it right now with random PUGs and non-experienced guild mates.

What do you think?

I agree with you, mate.

This would be fun. Win 'n' times in a row, off to the HoH!

ANET adressed this in a fansite friday.

they said they dont want too many types of arenas, so there would be enough players in each arena...

but it sounds fun, although after a few wins you should go against tomb groups, not straight to HOH...

Sounds good. Something that might be cool tho is to use the compition arenas and just have two diffrent buttons. One would be "Start 4v4 battle" and the other would be start "8v8" battle. This way they wouldn't have to add another arena.

Yes, true... that's actually what was meant (if not said).
