Guild Wars 2

I don’t think I truly need to explain the title.
This game lost it’s hype and chance for SoloQ’ers.

SoloQ’ers have been thrown into the gutter. Higher Divisions can only be achieved by premades. Which is very discriminating to people who can’t go in a team due r/l time and/or want to play alone on their own rules.

January 19 is Blade & Soul release, be ready to lose alot of PvP players, Anet.
It’s going to be F2P (no P2W, they get their money off many costumes) and servers in both NA and EU.
Atleast they are working towards E-sports without jeopardizing big parts of the community.

(at 4:38 you see how a small tournament in Korea is actually so much bigger than any GW2 ESL Tournemant is ever going to get)

It’s sad you never listened to the real wishes of PvP; including 1v1 / 3v3 arenas and having SoloQ system back..

/rant-off

2v2 would be awesome

You could play by yourself in unranked and be far less likely to meet premades and not have the frustration of losing pips.

So your solution is to let SoloQ players be punished, not letting them play in Leagues?

Very democratic.

Anet claimed GW2 would be like this also, and look how it turned out.

I already played BnS in Korea and Russian client, Alpha and Closed Beta on BnS EU and I can assure you its F2P and non-P2W

That’s good to hear, I hope it stays that way. It’s just that this experience of GW2 going P2W makes me a bit wary of the B2P or F2P model.

If we wanted to be very democratic, we could also make raids soloable to satisfy everyone, but that content requires a team. The leagues don’t force you to party up, but it is clear that those who team up have the advantage over those who solo q. If you want legendary armor, you team up and do raids. If you want the Ascension, you team up and do leagues.

I really do wonder where this expectation that solo q players should be able to advance in leagues came from despite already having rewards with reward tracks. Did Anet not set the right expectations when they announced the league? It should be obvious that in a team based game, coordinated teams excel in competitive environments, but this does not seem to be obvious here.

May I remind you we had SoloQ back in 2012 – 2013 – 2014? May I remind you we had the same rewards back then as Team Arena?

May I also remind you that every other MMO with (decent) PvP has a SoloQ?
I don’t get it where this “Teams are the only one which should get top rewards” mindset comes from..

Also, don’t compare PvE with PvP lol. All dungeons can be Solo’d, just so you know xD
Raids is a total different thing, which btw can also be done by pugs so your theory here seem invalid..

You theory is because people cannot solo raids, ppl in pvp can’t soloq? I really do lack the insight of this being a valid argument..

You can’t solo pvp, as it requires u to be in a team to queue up.
Solo Q does not mean 5v1, its also 5v5..

Ok bro. You go do that raid with that thf in exotic pvt gear. Or go play solo q and enjoy that war who rushes lord at start of match.

Enjoy your pips.

You see, ppl who only play with teams don’t understand how SoloQ’ers feel at all, it shows in your quote.

Also, I dont know if u ever played wih good ppl but some of my guildies did raid with zerker/valkyrie gear and full pug teams.. Not sure why u said soldier thief.. I mean, u can’t generalize ppl’s experience by your own exp.
