Guild Wars 2

There will be a free trial during August23-25 for Guild Wars 2!

Ive seen a lot of sad people saying they will create trial accounts and go on trolling SoloQ games. I cant stress enough how pathetic this is and this topic stands as a warning that things will probably get dark for soloQ’ers.

This also further enlightens the issue we’ve been seeing or SoloQ, it should have some kind of requirement to be able to join it, since it not only affects your account, it affects 9 other accounts.

Either having a reasonable amount of pvp matches played, some profession specific achievements, or rank (r10?) a limiting fator of being able to join the queue for Solo Arenas.

This whole problem becomes even more important on the long run, especially if they later decide to turn PVP free to play, or purchasable for a cheaper price.

Look at LoL for example, you cant go ranked as soon as you install the game! You have to play all the way through level 30, that can probably take 1-2 monthes depending on how much you play.

This whole GW2 mentality of “where I want it, and when I want it” is not fit for PvP. There is zero sense in making tournaments joinable as soon as someone creates an account and actually is an incentivizing fator to make a smurf account. Have you ever imagined if you could just join Ranked SoloQ in LoL at level 1? People would be making smurfs all the time!

This seriously needs to change.

Isn’t there a sizeable amount of people moan for the Mists to be free?
I’m more curious on how much of the samplers decide to buy in afterwards.

omg. i hope they dont run into a thief or necro during their first spvp fight…o.0

ugh and in wvw we will have golem suiciders again….-_-

Especially considering current state of the meta, their GW2 PvP’s first impression might not be favorable and GW2 potential PvP future base might be greatly diminuished.

Or just stop caring about some ridiculous online game rank? Anyhow, the poster above me has a good point.

Let’s hope the matchmaking fix will be in by then. But probably won’t.

i dont really care about the leaderboards so i will prolly troll back at those trolls.

Anet needs to make solo/team que not available for trial users. There is no reason for a new player to be in tournament games.

They just shouldn’t allow trial accounts to access solo or team Q and only let them participate in hotjoins.

Why not play during those dates? There is a thing called matchmaking that allows players to play with and against those of equal skill level. I wouldn’t worry too much about it as these brand new players will clearly not be screwing up your ratings…And just think of the joy the new players will be having with this competitive environment! Anet has really done a smash up job protecting brand new players since release!!
