This was suggested awhile back, and I by no means claim credit for it.

1) Free for all
2) 50+ players
3) Arena-style maps
4) Location/kill based gold & experience

Discuss.

Teamwork would still play a large role, but those teammates would have to turn on eachother eventually.  Without a multiplier system, there's no real incentive for winning.  However, maybe someday some kind of betting system could be put in place for spectators and dead players to keep it interesting, though it would have to be done carefully to prevent blatant abuse.

I think I would rather have the single player tournament system. But of course with my gear :P

That would be neat.  After thinking about it, I don't think there's any real way to prevent betting abuse, so no point in leaving it in the OP.

To the people voting no, what's your reasoning?

I voted no because it would just turn in to clans fighting each other and ganging up on solos/pubs.

Yes, they'd have to turn on each other eventually if there was no respawn until the end of the round...but they could just take turns letting one guy kill all the rest.

If there WAS a respawn after you died, they would never have to turn on each other.

Either way, no good! :)

Yeah, this wouldn't be a terrible game mode to have just for fun but I don't think it would turn out to be very popular.

Look at the scoreboards on, say, battle.

You usually have a few very skilled players on both teams dominating.  Maybe being free for all would change their playstyle, but I rather think they would do even bettersince they don't have to worry about team wounding. :P  This is important I feel because you would have a few people  doing incredibly well, and they would likely ignore each other for the beginning of the battle while they killed all of the peasants.  The game mode would just cease. :P

That's the problem, I feel that there should be more to promote teamwork in this game rather than individual skill.


Now.. a TOURNAMENT mode would be awesome.  Set up teams and do like 10v10v10v10, eliminate the worst team, or players, etc..  Definitely would get behind that.  You would get battle experience and possibly dueling experience in the same round!

Interesting points.  Poll obviously pointed where this was going, so I took it down and renamed the thread to hopefully draw in more talk about a tourney mode.

So in this hypothetical tournament, would you try to divide teams by banner or randomly?
