It already exists.

It is not popular because Alesia slays most people.

People fight there to get PvE skills and a Crown.

Wait, what? Alesia's build is laugh-out-loud terrible. People lose to her? You are joking, yes?

Hero Battles are ANet's answer to 1v1, I think. Judging from ABs, many players want a 1v1 Arena.

Guild Wars is a team game, 1v1 arenas have no place.

How dare you insult the most fearse gladiator of Tyria! Alesia has slain many people with her carrot of doom. I saw it myself and was scarred for life. Oh the horror....

Don't you think your exaggerating a bit, just because a few noobs use H/H in PvP doesn't mean all the good teams do.

The concept of a 1v1 arena would really bring out the retardation in the community with the echo shadow form builds, the Obs flesh tanks and so on. It would take no skill to win, just alot of patience =\

Signet Enchant removal ftw

what about a royal rumble / last man standing / battle royal arena?

Gimmicks get wiped out quickly because people would team up on them.

You could also make it that people belonging to the same guild are not put into the same arena so people don't team up (understandably you'll still get people with non guild accounts doing this but there isn't much you could do)

Not a true 1v1 i admit......

Something like Gladiator's Arena can only work with fixed skillbars. There is too much chance for abuse otherwise. Personally, I think a Battlegrounds-like PvP system with fixed skillbars would work amazingly well in GW.

i would be excited about a 1v1 arena if it were made with random, matching template builds
maybe it would be possible to allow the players coose their matching builds. 1v1 arena woudlnt be the most popular addition to gw but would add another thing to and im sure plenty of people would find 1v1 arena fun

OMG

If they made a purely 1v1 arena, I would /point /laugh at ANet.
Isn't the game imbalanced enough without people running a crappy invinci*whatever*?
