Yes. I think a large majority of TA'ers I think would quit GW if TA was removed.

most people who TA regularly dont give a shit about the rest of GW

GvG is to hard for me due to timezones.

and I don't want TA to be removed cause I want Divine to get his g2 cuz he's the shit

No need to remove an arena as old as GW just cuz someone's being lazy.

Absolutely yes. Removing an arena because you can't balance it is plain copout, next ANet might as well remove GW because they can't balance it.

Keep TA.

Yes I want to keep TA; its the only format of PvP I really care about anymore and I really dont know what I'm going to do without it...

Does anyone know why TA has to be removed from the game rather than just implement Sealed Deck as another Arena? I will be very disappointed if anet kills the only thing I like in Guild Wars because they can't balanced it correcty and are just taking the easy route out of it which is basically "Oh look, new format of PvP, new kinds of builds, new things, exciting!" Here's a fun fact anet, your new arena format is going to be like opening a Xmas present for a 6 year old... exciting for about 1 week...

Definitively yes.

There's no reason to remove any of the arena's. Adding the new one would let the players choose the one they really prefer.

TA is pretty bad. I think TA could become balanced, but they are not willing to commit to balancing it properly. It would take a lot of work, and obviously thats spent better on designing a wing emote to promote another game.

TA used to be my favorite thing to do in GW. I'll c/p my sentiments from another forum:

I used to do nothing in GW but TA back in '05 and early '06. I can say without a doubt that proph TA was the most fun I've had in GW, period. (KD/AS LFG! TF AXE LFG!)

Now though, TA has stagnated and just sucks. When entering TA, you're either going to be facing either
1) RA spillover that's boring to farm
2) g8/9/10 balanced that can provide good matches, but that you'll probably lose to unless they make mistakes or you build to beat
3) Shit like gothspike, hexway, r/a teams, etc.

So basically, I fully support the Live team deleting TA. Sealed deck 4v4 has the potential to be a lot of fun.

I don't understand why ppl who suck at TA want it to get trashed to badly.
It's easy to form a grp, it's competitive (at least between those g8+ balanced grps is) and simply if u don't like it go somewhere else. I would say HA is far more degenerate balance wise than TA (heard R/A replaced wars in gvg now... good).

Sealed deck is not gonna be fun in the long run by any means.

Let the game be and focus on GW2. All anet touches turn into steaming pile of shit.

I think rawr's mAT winning build summed up all of the major gimmick problems in TA (apart from eda and shove) pretty nicely. Guys, lets delete gvg.

It's not really TA's fault its so imbalanced and has been really gay for a long time.
Thats the fault of skill balance and players.

I'd keep it, but also add SD as that is awesome.

Just add in some NPCs and different primary objectives for each map. Maybe I will play it some more.
