Guild Wars 2

The leaderboards need to be cleaned up before the season ends a lot of cheaters started cheating because they thought they could get banned anymore because the ban has already been done. Take a look at some of the recent people who just showed up on the leaderboards.

Its 50% off because theres a new release coming up. Nows the best time to get new players. Tunnel vision much. I’m fairly certain pvp smurfing has 0% to do with the games pricing.

1. on NA is some guy with 40-1 right now.. dunno if that´s even possible.

Yeah I’ve seen the #1 have people throw for him

Until everybody starts at 600 bronze and climb to the top, the leaderboards will mean absolute nothing. 40-1 is the perfect exemple of how placements matches ruined the principle of a fair competition to the top.

Agree. Everyone should start at the same place. As better players win they will fall outside the skill rating range of the lower players. Yes, it’ll take time, but that means everyone has the same chance of getting there. Players who placed in legendary had a massive advantage of just having to play the bare minimum. I placed legendary the last 3 seasons, after the placement matches, placed gold. Worked from bottom of gold to mid platinum (which is probably where I belong), but I had a better w:l ratio and more games played than some of the “legendary” players. Big shame really.

Start rating is arbitrary though. Lowering it to 600 will just mean that everyone’s rating is lower that what it would have been.

The value of a given rating is relative. The start point is meaningless.
