"Let’s say you’re an sPvP guild who wants to scrimmage a friendly guild so you can both work on your strategies. Or maybe you want to be able to watch one of your friends play so that you can see what they’re doing and how they’re using their skills. Perhaps you’re playing in a hot-join game and you just got destroyed by someone, and you want to look at how they’re playing and what skills their using. Or, better yet, let’s say I just want to set up one-on-one duels inside my guild, pitting two players against each other, while the rest of the guild watches. Or maybe all I want to do is find a place where only my friends and I can play where we can’t be interrupted by other players."

ranking system was already put in.. think it was last patch or the one before.. forgot..
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

This is not a game.
Frankly, I find those features completely uninteresting and boring.
Then again, what I love about GW2 is PvE and not PvP.
PvP in GW2 seems to be everything I don't want it to be, hehe, so there
It's almost like they took this absolutely fantastic engine and used their considerable talents to create the LEAST interesting kind of PvP using as much effort as possible.
The game has so many things going for it - so it's really unfortunate that I disagree so severely with them about what makes for interesting PvP.
Me too agreed to this. ranking system will be great if they will have this, another worht it competition for all players better if individual ranking so we could see who's on the top of all server.
Spectator mode and custom arenas are a HUGE addition.
I don't think most people realise the impact this will have on GW2 tournament pvp.
Everyone reading this better start looking for a team and getting ready to twitch-stream like hobos begging for quarters.
not sure how you guys missed it but like said above its been in

FIrstly, the Spectator Mode sounds like GW1's with a few extra features, so no need to worry
I don't dislike Conquest mode; I dislike that we ONLY have conquest mode.
We do need some sort of guild base PvP. Call it GvG, call it Death Match, w/e. There should be incentives for GUILDS to be #1 in addition to individuals being highly rated.
Once the game gets 3-4 PvP modes, I think they can then focus on making each one unique. I do applaud them for adding maps, but there need to be more objectives than conquest.

If A-NET has some sense, I'm sure this will come, when I guess is the question.
They might be waiting to bring it in alongside some maps and etc. That or expansion, which is why I had from the start low expectations of pvp cause I knew it'd take time from the start. Maybe it'd be different if when I played GW1 from it's start which assuming from the way people talk it came out with all these modes, customisable skills and etc all from the beginning, right?
I might get banned for this. - Rizel Star.
I'm not afraid to tell trolls what they [need] to hear, even if that means for me to have an forced absence afterwards.
P2P LOGIC = If it's P2P it means longevity, overall better game, and THE BEST SUPPORT EVER!!!!!(Which has been rinsed and repeated about a thousand times)
Common Sense Logic = P2P logic is no better than F2P Logic.

We’ll make spectator mode available as soon as we begin the custom arena beta. Anyone in a hot-join game or a custom arena game (as long as spectator is enabled in the arena’s settings) can use spectator mode.
For games that impact the leaderboard, we won’t be allowing players to spectate directly, for a few reasons. One is due to cheating – we want to be sure that the game is fair for the combatants. Another reason is to help foster the PvP shoutcasting community. Later, down the road, select shoutcasters will be able to jump into high-level ladder games and spectate, which will allow them to cover all the action at the top of our leaderboards. This will also allow the player community to learn from high-level players as well as the shoutcasters, who help to explain the skills and tactics required to play sPvP at the top levels.
