Guild Wars 2

Would it be possible to implement a feature to choose to lengthen queue time for an optimal match-up? Perhaps a toggle? I never really cared before, but I’ve be seeing more and more chat like “sorry this is my fourth match.” Now, I can’t prove that in any way, I can only take that (and weaker play) at face value. I’m not trying to contend that I’m any great shakes or master of the universe, but I’m hoping I’ve put in enough time to move up the ladder to the point that there shouldn’t be brand new PvPers in my ranked games.

There’s certainly times I absolutely want the fastest queue possible and I’m all in for whoever/whatever populates the match-up. But there’s other times (like my days off) where I want the most competitive match-ups.

A toggle option assumes eventually “skilled” players will be match up, did you consider the possibility that the reason you were matched up with “unskilled” player is simply due to the lack of them at the time of queuing? It also assumes that eventually they will be players on your skill level, which is a terrible assumption. IT also assumes Arenanet would be stupid enough to dedicate resources into something such as that.

In any case, would it be easier just to put in a match restriction on players?
