Arrow Mini-Game While Waiting For AB To Start
I know this is pushing the limit but what the heck here goes.. A mini-game for Alliance Battles while waiting (sometimes WAY TOO LONG.) A scalable window could pop up (and maybe even pause when the battle actually begins) with some sort of mindless-fun-boredom-slaying-mini-game.

Few ideas~

Kurzick side - Turtle Hunt, Gothic Hair Salon, Mhenlo Paternity Test

Luxon side - Whack-A-Fungal, Where's Togo?, Jade Surfing

That's an idea, but I figure Guild Wars is the game I'm playing.. if I need to go to a flash site (and yes, I'm gonna check out that link of yours) then it kinda defeats the purpose of playing GW in the first place. That and the worry I would miss the battle while immersed in a game of Desktop Tower Defense or something.

This would just be a pointless addition to ignore the real solution: Anet need better AB servers.

Just start arguments with people in local chat. That will take up a LOT of time. Chances are you could have an hour wait, finish a game, come back, and they're on the second topic or created their own spanning from that.

Having a monitor supporting multiple inputs and picture in picture (or split screen) feature, really solves that problem quite nice. Any handheld will also do.

I totally Agree with Alex

ANet has many many many other thing to do than this.

Also Dual Monitors is the way to go, GWs on the left and a movie on the right, I'll let you guess what kind of movie.

the wait time in between AB's should be used to rally the troops imo. give your kurzicks a little pep talk before the battle.

Of all the comments this guy knows what really needs fixing. It's not like Anet is going to say 'yeah, we need mini-games in AB -- that'll make the masses happy!' I just felt SOME people (not alex the great, but some people) has a sense of humor and would enjoy the topic.

Funny, but unneccesary. Talk to guildies. Dance in the outpost.

Or pick up a book sitting by your desk and read a few pages. Make a sandwich.
