Guild Wars 2

Hi,

I understand the PVP achievements for the legendary back piece require winning a certain amount of games with every profession. Doesn’t that affect matchmaking in a bad way? Let’s say I “main” warrior, won’t I suck with other professions?
Personally, I might dig to find builds for guardians, eles, etc., but I might just enter a game and hope to get carried to a win, because the opposing team’s in the same situation.
So, not everyone is playing to the best of their ability and that ruins other players’ experience.

Also, there could be times where it would be better to play a different profession in a game, but you can’t get the other teammate to switch, because “I need to win 10 games with my engi, sry bro!”.

I get that you should know every profession and the meta and that with these achievements you are “forced” to get better with other professions, too, but I’m saying that unless you are a hardcore PVP player, you won’t even try to dig that deep, especially if you are a PVE player just wanting to get The Ascension back piece.

This affects matchmaking for the worse, imho.

Wouldn’t it be better to simply rework the achievements from “Win X games with Y profession” to “Win 50 games”? Let daily PVP achievements have the “Win a game with Y profession”, that’s more than enough.

What do you think?

Thanks
