Guild Wars 2

Hey, as I was playing I noticed something pressing, there is a huge discrepancy between Solo Arena and Team Arena when it comes to rank points.

How the system works currently:

Amount of Rank Points for Winning Solo Arena:

250 (base) + 450 (winning)= 750 Rank Points

Amount of Rank Points for Winning Team Arena:

300 (base) + 1000 (winning)= 1,300 Rank Points

If you win in Team Arena, you almost get twice as much rank points compared to if you won in Solo Arena. This creates a big gap between people who play in Team Arena and people who play in Solo Arena. Although I agree that Team Arenas should award more Rank Points than Solo Arena, because it will encourage teaming up with players, the difference between the two are way too much.

Also, in order to encourage more players entering the scene, increasing the base (while decreasing the win) would help drastically. It gives new players more of a reward for playing, less rage inflicted upon them, and softens the minds of the angry-minded.

What I propose is this:

Solo Arena:

425 (base) + 500 (winning)= 925 Rank Points

Team Arena:

500 (base)+ 825 (winning)= 1,325 Rank Points

The numbers could vary, but the idea would remain. What do you guys think? Feedback is appreciated.

Hmm…so team arena gives double points. What if you lose in team arena? How much do you get then?

Yup there is no reason to play soloq for the most part, unless you like Skyhammer (lol). You’re better of just going solo in teamq. Only reason to play soloq is if you care about the leaderboards, and you don’t want to mess up your rating. However leaderboards are a joke overall so that’s a miniscule point.

Agreed.

SoloQ has been pretty horrible lately for this reason as well as leaving Skyhammer in the map rotation.

I know it is extremely unlikely but I would like to see an ArenaNet response on this.

If you lose a game, you receive the base amount of points for participating.

bump need 15 characters

bumpity bump bump

what are people’s thoughts on this?

the problem is, as long as team arena gives more (even if its 50 rank points) solo people still q for ‘team’ arena… which is 90% of the time pugs
