Here's a list of improvements to Structured PvP and eSports that the PvP Community is looking for in order to develop a competitive enviroment in Guild Wars 2.
This by no means is a list of demands, if not a list of features that we believe are needed to improve players experience when they do PvP, any point here is subject to discussion and if the community believes such feature is not needed, it's going to be removed from the list.
This might help keep ourselves organazied and let know what the community wants from PvP.
If you have any suggestion please comment on this post.
