I came to realize that RA is stupidest form of PVP in GW. and it should have been removed prior to Team battles. though it still can be ok if they really work on fixing all stupidity out of RA. let's see the facts here..
there are 3 types of players (not counting, bots and quitters): - Pros (who hardly play anymore, though this can easily mean players who did nothing else in life than to play RA, so they have r9+) - n00bs (ppl who idiots blame for wanting to play RA, but should not be blamed. who can blame fair person who wanna play something he payed for, and is not so good at it...i don't blame those. i blame the game who didn't give them opportunity to play what suits them.) - idiots (those more often think they're good, and all they do is yell and cure they own incompetence, frustration by blaming others.)
now, since game has no way to separating any of groups, you get mutual disatissfaction. I don't necessary say there are no more types of player but i can surely state that they will also find ther disatissfaction as well.
for the title concept getting gladiator title for such game like random arena is ridiculous. as far as i remember gladiators were more or less standalone fighters. rarely one depends on others so i think 1 VS 1 would be better suit for title and having more chance for everyone to enjoy.
why RA doesn't work the was it is now. team most often get all type of players, which is rather unfair to any of player type. it's at most selective and i has nothing to do with fun. there are tournaments for ppl who likes to be so competetive and likes to go highrank. i, myself would never aim for to be first and best in PVP. but i can't say i'm bad pvp player. i know my way, but i never got to R1 in gladiator cause it's almost impossible (especially now after all this time, and near end of gw1) to get r8+ on RA. even if 1 point would be awarded for EACH KILL not round won. the rate of "bad player" feel is almost godlike. even best players, i belive, feels like bad after looking at stats of how many rounds lost or won...if they don't go for sync or some other type of manipulating outcome.
solution: Either categorize players by tiers of title Rank... or give us 1 VS 1 that share title with RA! so everyone is happy. at least you will get picture on what should go out or at least filter players so anyone who still likes to play RA this way can do it.
1 vs 1 can have same rules like codex. with limited skills and stuff, but wouldn't hurt to have all sills available. there are few downsides to 1 vs 1 as well, but it would be far less than RA has currently. oh, and give us at least 0.2 point on title for 1st won round.. i can vividly remember the last time i won 2nd round. it was fun :) 1 in million..is that way to go? i think not!
