Curse

First off I have had some experience in pvp so i believe my ideas reflect a substancial amount of pvpers views.
2.8 mil Balth faction total
5700 fame
R3 Glad
15 Champ points
Friend of the Kurzicks
KOBD for varios chars (Pve credibility)

Anet you had a great idea for a fun and competitve game but.... as most have mentioned things have goten stale. I have ideas that could revive some areas of pvp

Heroes Ascent: (matches decided by caller vs. Infuser) ...ty kill count...
The place where most of the pvp takes place in guild wars.
99% Spike , FOTM = Not fun even for the winners. Only thing to look forward to is the chest, which gives a damn sigil. Takes 1 Hr average waiting time to get a group. (im Rank 9... and advertise I dont care about rank so i can just get in and play) the hero emote means nothing anymore... A Phoenix means absolutely nothing to a top rated guild beacause of how cheap HA is now.

TA : Last place I actually look to pvp the most in... too bad no one wants to play here

RA: Glad points ruined this arena. Everyone wants a monk or some other specific class in their group. So what do we get.... 10 min of hitting a button "Enter Battle" till we finnaly get a whole team that will stay and play, only to come up against sync farmers that are together on vent. Or, When you get fed up and roll a monk somehow the pairing system matches you with 3 other monks... ?? Anet are you sitting back laughing at this? watching all 4 of us trying to wand a ranger to death that has Natural stride and troll ungent... You could also award .1 glad point per win as this would promte monkless teams to stay and fight rather than bail. and stay consistent with the current gladiator point system

Hero Battles: Hmm mabey you could rename this to "Ninjas only pvp" Great idea but the average player gets whacked. I say make it 1v1 no Ai involved. Or only one of the same class. Promote balance not tank/running/hex stack teams. and btw Ninjas are so popular here cause when you flag your hero monk to a shrine the sin on the other team nabs the hero while they are en route. (glitch that all allows them to kill your hero monk with ease.... i.e. Shadow prision, skill 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, recall out)

GvG: oh man its bad
For the average guilds like ones ive been in we just cant get it right.. we run pure balance and get owned by hex stacks on jade, we bring lots of hex removal then get owned by recall split etc,etc,etc rock paper scissors. Only it is not skill that determines the winner it is build choice and location. Now i have played some pretty lame builds as well and won against guilds we shouldnt have beaten, but that is not fun. Fun gvg matches are those of balance vs. balance skill vs. skill win or lose no luck involved. its about strats and tactics not skill choice.

My suggestions:

Proph only skills and classes for all pvp!!! Bring back Balance, Bring back Skill, innovation, fun
HA : New maps not new win conditions, old "holding style" no kill count, or simply make halls gvg style although reward more fame per win since matches will last 20-30 min
TA: mabey make TA like Hero Battles, with shrines and same win conditions only 4 humans not 1 human and 3 Ai
RA : Faction only no glad points, (bye bye sync farmers and leavers/rage QQers
HvH : if 4 members then One profession of each type within the group

GvG: Remove Jade, allow people to pick or randomize hall selection for battle, do away with 4 members from the same guild!! a vast majority of players cant gvg simply because they dont have a guild/people to gvg with. I say allow people to form in an outpost not GH "OR" keep the current ladder system and have a seperate reward system for those that can enter a GvG with any 7 other players much like you see in HA ( of coarse they or their guild will not be rewarded on the ladder, but give them fame, or at least a chest to open if they win, along with the fact that they have had the enjoyment of gvging when they previously have not been able to) this allows more people to gvg.

all nightfall/factions skills and classes can be buffed and made for pve only.

Well as a pvp veteran these are my suggestions I just dont want to see GW turn into another third party chat program for many people. please anyone comment on these suggestions meabey we cant get a poll on something and get something changed before its too late.

I agree with you at the most things, except for removing gladiator title at Ra, it should be reduced to 5, because sometimes you can win 6+ matches with a group without monks, the its very impossible to win 10 in a row.

What a.net should do at this point is make pvp and pve version of skills. For example, Spirit of Failure needed to be fixed because of pvp, but at pve sucks now... and it wouldnt be that hard, and it would solve many problems.
Just pay 1k and 1 skill point and have your skill upgraded for pve version
