See the problem is that if every bad idea gets closed, then we wouldn't exactly need a forum section for this. It'd consist of like...5 good posts

Hell no! AB isn't even pvp. Half the time u kill NPCs. TA/RA on the other hand are more challenging cuz ur facing REAL ppl.

normally the concept of the gladiator title should be totally changed, because the concept of now is just absolute retarded crap and has nothing to do anyhow with gladiators.

Gladiator Battles were in the medieval mostly EVER 1vs1 Duels and not 4vs4 battles -.- Only exception was, when a fighter should fight with a handicap, then it could have happened, that a Gladiator had to fight vs. 2 foes or even more at once. But these handicaps were made only for the very best of the best gladiators, which vanguished a long row of foes after another.

Gladiator Battles in the medieval were like Horse Race Bets, people made bets on the gladiators, who will win the battle and so higher the handicap, so higher raised the bets.

Gladi Point requirements for the ranks should be just raised by 2 or 5 and therefore should count just every win in a PvP 1vs1 duel for 1 Gladiator Point.
This stuff about, that you have to win 5 times in a row is just a shit concept, not to mention, that the concept of Gladiator Points for RA leads only to the typical problems of Leavers and Leechers.

- With 1vs1 Duels you will not have the problems about Leechers
- Nor either with Leavers, because leaving won#t brign you anything in a 1vs1 or

just disable leaving in Gladiator Battles... Gladiator battles are battles of Life or Death, only exception of leaving a battle would be /resign, but it would accept only, when your character would be under 50% of HP

Would anet change it to this, than would make this Title at least somehow a bit of "Sense".

Gladiator Battles often let the Gladiators also fight with little to strong handicaps against their foes, handicaps, like a persistant Bleeding or Cripple or decreased Energy Regeneration and so on.

When the existing Skilsl don't allow such a 1vs1 pvp yet, then should Anet introduce special "Gladiator-Skills" for each profession - so some PVP only Skills just for the Gladiator Arena, so that all professions have some balanced skills for 1vs1 Battles and then this title becomes just a pure matter of being Skilled enough to win the duels, when everyone of the same profession has the same gladiator skill build.

Then are Gladiator battles, like Costume Brawl..one of the less PVP things in GW, that required really gameplay skills and knowledge of how to play best with a build, that you have to use.
-------

But mostly all concepts of those pvp titles are totally screwed up imo and need some serious concept tweaks.

oh and yeah, about RA then -give it a new Title that fits to this Area.

The "Master of Battles" Title.. that one can have then the old yet existing way of the Gladiator Title for 5 wins in a row at Randomous 4vs4 battles

R1 Green Horn
R2 Rookie
R3 Profi
R4 Elite
R5 Disciple of War & Battles
R6 Master of the Battle
R7 Grand Master of the Battle
R8 Legendary Grand Master of the Battle

and decreased from 12 to 8 ranks then, but with higher amount of needed points between the ranks ...

and the game would just have 1 pvp title more XD

RA shouldn't even give glad points, so whatever. Gladiator arenas in the ancient times were large shows, with dozens of competitors.

This is Guild Wars, not real life. Stop making bad suggestions.

Yeah but this is like posting "Hi. I suggest we can throw poo at other characters whenever we want in GW"

...which actually sounds like fun and thus a better idea than this thread.

Actually, I like that fact of Gladiator points in RA for a few reasons. Once, it fills RA up with a lot of people who suck... so winning is friggin easy. Two, I get to test new builds out when I can't get guild members to help me test them out. RA is like no other PvP in guild wars. You never know what team you will end up in... you never know if that team will even work (until the first battle is over)... and you make friends here and there be being introduced to new people constantly.

The downside of glad point farming is that you generally have to go through a few bad teams to get one good one.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gladiators

so much about historically false. Read it, then you will see, that I was correct.
Gladiators were used to make with them MONEY, be it on active way.. by making bets on them.. or by passive way.. through selling stuff, like figures with their names on, when the gladators they shown were very strong and well known and had claimed under the gladiators a kind of reputation.

And it were not shows only .. the mainly meaning of Gladiator Battles were 1vs.1 Duels in the earlier time and later after NERO ...only in the time of Emperor Nero, Gladiator Battles were more only a show, than Duel Battles.

only under nero were Gladiator Battles just a show, there should show the gladiators battles from the Myth and tales the greek/roman had and for those shows it was the only reason, why many gladiators at once fought against each others to show a war battle for example between 2 kingdoms or so.

here the most important sentence in the whole wiki about Gladiators

Quote:

An average game had between ten and thirteen pairs

U'll find it under "Typical Combat" , the important point is underline ...
you see IT ? its PAIRS !!
What do you believe for what PAIRS will stand huh ? sure not for 4 vs 4 fights -.-

Everythign else was in gladitorial history UNTYPICAL and had to be requested...
I believe you've seen the Movie Gladiator maybe too much >.>

When they make a Gladiator Title, then should be the content around it be fitting and not a screwed up concept, that absolutely fits not to the name of the Title in historical wise, or do you see us in RA anyhow make a "show" ?
Do we replay in Ra anyhow myths or so ? No we don't.

You're retarded.

You do understand that PAIR = 2, and 2x2=4

Stop being stupid, please.

This idea sucks, this thread sucks, and the person I'm quote su-, well, let's just say not the brightest.
