Change the title fast and make it less rageout/offending, because this is spot on and they MUST see this and consider removing hotjoin.

Or they could just fix how points are rewarded.

eh.. you can pve farm all day and get tons of gold and shines no one cares about too, what’s your point?

Thats the problem. PVE is not PVP, in pvp skill is what should matter.

…To reiterate 1000s of years of wisdom;
Pvp Rank in no way correlates with skill.
You can farm other Useless things no one cares about
Whats your point ? :/

The system should be completely removed and reworked so people only get rank via wins

I guess..

Rewarding players for mediocrity is a bad call,
You win! you lose! Everyone gets BEES.

I think the point of that though has always been to reinforce that you get nothing for pvping and nothing outside of winning the match and having fun matters.

I treat this game like counterstrike.. I don’t really care about the dyes/skins/titles/whatever else people care about too much…..

If PvP rank is really meaningless and noone cares about it, why do you have your exact rank in your signature and why do people look fro teams based on rank?

Yes rank can be farmed and that’s bad and should be changed, high rank =/= good player, but this should be solved.

Ah that’s a good point, I was actually thinking about this question for a while..
My pvp rank there is for people who don’t know it’s meaningless.

I don’t think it’s totally meaningless. If you see a rank 50, he can be the worst player in the world farming hotjoin all day, but you, at first will not treat him like that, unless he proves otherwise.

In the case of an r20 guy, you can be sure he is new, he gets bursted pretty fast and often makes very bad decisions or reacts in a wrong way to enemy movement.

The thing is rank means time spent, and unless you spend time, you can’t be good.

Rank = routine (mostly)
