Is pvp meant for 1v1

There have been many opinions about zerg fests and lack of 1v1's. I would contest that pvp is meant as a combat/war map not meant for 1v1's. I do however agree there should be a sparing area. What are your thoughts?

    It's not. Solo action is pretty good though in my experience.

    What would a "sparring area" even look like? Just add duels...

    Even better than a "sparring area"...The Arena.

    Its really not because its super easy to just have a build that just straight counters another persons build. Well at least its supposed to be that way idk how many balance patches its going to take before that all works out.
    I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."

    As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
    The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
    but my delight will last and you will respawn.
    My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.

    The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
    Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
    Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
    A miserable, loud deuced fool.

    With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
    All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
    From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
    but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.

    I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.

    Of course its not a on 1 versus 1 game. That said, not everyone enjoys the 100 v 100 types of play we currently have, so a lot of people want small scale PvP options.

    I prefer the army vs army kind of pvp. Admitting that I am and never will be a good enough pvp player to stand any chance 1v1, I also think it would make balancing out classes too important.

    I love pvp in which some classes are stronger than others (I play a full support class and am dead meat on my own usually and I like that). It makes people depend on eachother.

    P.s. I have been looking at the Cyrodiil loading screen for half an hour now and sick of it. *cries out to the Gods: "Let me in!"*

    While 1vs1 could represent a nice distraction, pvp is meant on a relatively large scale. Combined arms, tactics, manouvers, synergies, pianification and generally anything that involves putting players in a social and cooperative-for-competing environment.

    I dont want army vs army or 1v1. One ramps up the incoming damage to a point that you feel inconsequential or the other side is just instantly wiped out due to numbers and the other is just a case of rock,paper & scissors.

    Small battles between medium sized groups of players where positioning, teamwork and skill use are important are what I would like to see more of.
