Guild Wars 2

Please, put a base cap for Rated Matches, it’s not possible seeing people under lv 20 repeatedly joining alone and hindering the whole team. Thanks.

Whatever the matchmaker system needs work too..

That’s ridiculous, why would they put a rank limit on a game that advertises that you have everything in PvP without having to grind.

A rank 20 player can play better than a rank 50, I see no reason to limit the tournaments this way.

He’s under the false impression that /rank means anything with regards to a player’s skill. Now its a good indicator of experience as in: this person has probably seen all of the maps, but it doesn’t say anything about whether or not they understand a single thing about them.

Rank=routine

You can become a legendary player later, but won’t pwn a rank 50 at r20.

I’d say most people play at the same level after reaching rank 40.

Dam here I thought it is a suggestion for class cap (not allowing class stacking) : I

Rank 1s just need to be rated at 0%, and have matchmaking system actually work and make good matches where you would only see rank 1s if you was in the 0-30% range.

Its pretty sad how they rate rank 1s compareable to people on leaderboards, I was like 600 before on leaderboards and got matched with a rank 1 on my team and everyone else was fine but that rank 1? WTF? Did you do nothing and get carried 10 games in a row and not score a single glory to make it that far??

People need to realize that not everyone grinds spvp custom arenas to get glory and rank. Some people only TPvP, because it is the only pvp game mode worth spending any time in other than WvW, and therefore those people may have low ranks, while still having the resume to be matched with R60s. Ive seen R50s get absolutely destroyed by r20s a multitude of times.

As for your statement about players leveling off at rank40…what?? Players will rise or fall to meet the level of their competition. If a rank 40 decides to stop doing tpvp and just grind some hot-join, he might find himself a little under prepared once he re enters the tpvp scene, the same goes for the reverse effect.

The mindset that people should be striving for rank and glory, or the mindset that rank and glory mean anything at all are likely two pretty good reasons that tpvp matchmaking is the way it is in this game, its such a PVE mentality.

PVEers do it for a reward. PvPers do it for fun, and the intangible reward of being better than another individual, which should be satisfying enough.

The solo queue is based of the leaderboard ranking, for the most part it works quite well. If you are getting Rank 1’s in your queue, it is most likely because you haven’t scored enough on the leaderboard to cause the rank 1 to be behind.

This does not mean it is yourself at fault, but if you invite someone to your party who is a lower leaderboard rank than yourself, you’ll see that the odds of getting a rank 1 is much higher.

I seriously think people should stop complaining. You get fast queues, difficult battles and you rarely face the same team over and over (which happened everytime in other games).

Also, PvP participation has gone significantly up and it’s harder to achieve top 1000 as compared to before. It gets even more difficult during a major patch like this one. Use this to your advantage, because there’s going to be far more people to group up with and you’ll see theres less rank 1.

I have no troubles at all killing people at rank 55+, matter in fact they generally play worse because they ended up farming hot joins instead of participating in tournaments.
