Guild Wars 2

Solo Queue:

• ranks 1-20 should not be allowed to queue up for this. Instead they can do the newly improved 5v5 (coming soon?) hotjoins (or even better remove hotjoins and add Normal/Unranked queue)
• New players should be placed in a spot that is consistent with their W/L ratio in Unranked play. Nothing else. Basically a hidden MMR.

Team Queue:

• Remake the roster&queue in the following way:
  • Make a new NPC in the mists to “Create/Manage a Team” (much like the one in major cities in PvE)
    • A team may have up to 10 people.
    • A player may be in up to 5 teams at once.
  • In order to queue up, at least 5 people in your team have to be online.
• Once that’s in place, make it so that Team Queues are only Team A vs Team B.
• Track teams in the leaderboard, as opposed to the individuals in each team.

I think the community needs to advocate for a re-design of hotjoin, as I don’t think Anet can be convinced to remove them. Here’s my ideas:

—Force players hopping in mid-match to wait to join one team until another player comes into the match to join the other team, so there are never uneven teams, unless someone leaves.
—Kick spawn-afk players in 30 seconds, but no penalty.
—Rework the entire personal score system to give more points for playing well.

I don’t think there should be a minimum rank to tPvP, but I do think there should be some hotjoin servers with a maximum rank. “Play now” could automatically put you in a max r20 room until you hit r21.

I don’t think having leaderboards display team names should be a high priority. There simply aren’t a large number of consistent teams that could take advantage of this.

Im top 50 player and i don’t want to play with ppl who under top 1000 and who have no clue about what’s going on on the map. They ruining my game experience.

Imho, new players should’t be allowed to play ranked games unless they get at least rank 20 or so. Or just make a new unranked solo queue for new players and noobs.

ability to see which class is most played on all leaderboard players.

Neatbidea, shouldn’t be a priority, though.
