Between Seasons
I try new games between off-season because I hate unranked. If I happen to find one I prefer to GW2 overall, then it’s: gg ANet, should have listened to your playerbase.
It’s as simple as that; no sense in camping the forums or spamming requests and posting in such threads. If everyone says it once and it masses, they might do something. If they ignore, then it’s their own mess.

In between seasons is a chance to test out new builds/classes.
With patch there is a change to skyhammer, foefire lord, so maybe even more changes will be made to make other maps better.
If they changed unranked matchmaking so that you are on a team with self-similar MMR (like ranked s2), I’d play it. But right now unranked matchmaking is underperforming—the range in player MMR within a single team is frustratingly large.
That being said, ranked should simply be open but without any pip-gains.
Unranked matches is unplayable for ranked players due to the inherent skill gap…
The best thing to do is take a break or try a profession that you’re not so good
The suggestion I have been constantly making is to use the off-season to determine each players MMR for when the ranked season begins, that way we don’t all start off together in one big kitten pool.
