Just like USA needs better fights
Too many 1v1s in USA, they need more big tag team matches if you ask me. Like 2 boxers vs 2 boxers or free for all boxing matches. 1v1 is boring and why boxing isnt as entertaining as it once was.
Anyways what I was thinking was in AvA, they could have a duel system, where 2 or more groups meet up or get nearby each other a message pops up and says duel. and the leader accepts it or not and it could either load them into an instance and they duke it out or just simply duke it out in AvA. The concept I'm thinking of with this idea is from Dynasty Warriors.
Another thing is Arena, people want the arena believe me, and you can either continue with your red ocean strategies by making what other games have already done, or you can think outside the box and use blue ocean strategy and come up with something that is better. When you think of arena you dont think of 1v1 so much, most of it is team battle or giant free for all. only times you see a 1v1 is when they hate the person and want them dead.
With arena I would allow people to spectate the fights too, I would like to see a queing system but in open world.Where spectators can view and leave without it being an instance. Like a townsquare arena pit.
Anyways, just my thoughts, I feel like the AvA is getting stale and what a typical MMORPG does is start lacking on PvP portion and focus on PvE... Which if you look at every MMO they are all 'dying'. because they feel like PvE is super important, and that's the problem if you ask me.
History tends to repeat itself.

Btw, I feel like MMORPGs are starting to forget what a guild means. Would be nice to bring back the actual meaning of a guild. Having multiple guilds, thats just solo play. Guilds are not meant for what MMORPGs are using them as of lately.
Only the very top elite remember what it means to be in a guild.
