IN pvp there should be

1. The current pvp setup for hoh and just regular team pvp.

2. A new area that has monsters like lvl 30-40 BUT you dont need parties to go to it. you just enter the area and everyone who enters IS TOGETHER in the same map. You can either pvp each other or help kill the uber monsters for mad exp and etc. you can work as a guild, solo, or just make a few friends along the way.

3. Kinda of like #2 but have missions and quests but have multiple random ppl doing different things and you can pvp if you want.

THIS WOULD ADD SOCIALISM to the game. its so boring with only 6-8 ppl. i want lots of random ppl around too.

Um...You need socialization?

This would also make the game World of Warcraft, which it is not. What you described above is pretty standard MMORPG fare, and the kind of stuff Guild Wars is trying to step away from.

Yep. If there's anything a computer game really needs it's more Socialism... maybe a little Communism; not so sure about fascism though... hm, what do you think internopsp?

I am instead for a theocracy, with Gaile Grey as our esteemed goddess; maybe her avatar can give us a 60% morale boost for free.

I do like the idea of a pointless killing area. Let me expand.

Flame Temple Colleseum [sp?] - located in an area behind the Flame Temple Corridor
Only Ascended characters may enter.
I forget what it was called, but we will use the original Fort Koga map as an example.
There is only one team. You enter at the middle of the map, joining 15 random teammates. On the four corners of the map are portals through which random spawns from lvl20 to lvlX enter every X seconds.
Your team's goal is to stay alive for as long as they can. Once you all die, you are returned to the Outpost where you can do this pointless slaughter again.
You gain no experience for the monsters killed here.

This would allow socializing, as is brought about by pointless activity. It would allow you to test PvE builds and apply them on a PvP char.

I didn't include the random PvP, as I am against it. Someone else can post their suggestion.

I see what your going for, as so many other games run like this. This exact idea is what GW was really trying to get away from though. Random ganking is fun! I love it, and when I want to go random ganking I have a few games I can play. GW is not one of them, and I hope it never will be. GW is a skill based game, and ganking, as fun as it may be, requires significantly less skill.

If there is an area that is explicitly designed for this, then i have no problems with it, since one can avoid it.

but lets face it: this gankfest would be the domain of the damagedealing classes, not the supporting ones.
and unless someone can show me otherwise in this thread that i'm wrong on that assumption, i can not support this idea.

IT would just be a extra area and would be fun. WOrking with tons of people tryng to kill a lvl 50 BEHEMOTH. PVP the way it is now is going to fail. its totally boring and has no rewards other than a stupid fame number that only YOU can see.\

the whole point of a rpg is to show off your items and lvl. i dont understand why ppl cant understand that. its a great game but if they want pvp to survive they need a area for free play and fun

The main story needs alot more quests too. The main story is what guild wars is about. I mean seriously would you of bought the game if it was just pvp with hoh?

I hated raids. They were time-consuming, difficult to organize and execute, and left everyone with a headache except the 1 or 2 people out of 50 who were awarded the uber drops. Go back to EQ2 if you love them so much, it's their specialty.

Sorry but you're the only one who thinks so.

Um, yeah. In fact, that's why most people bought the game. The story, as I explained to you before, is an elaborate tutorial section that comes before the PvP end-game. The story is what GW is about? LOL.

Holy crap! How did RPG's ever even exist before the advent of online games?!? I mean you can't really show off your level and items and stuff that way? Wait, did you invite people over to your house and shine with pride as you showed off your character and items to the awstruck crowd? I knew I was doing something wrong...
